I made this comic in 1992, I think. At that time everything was cyberpunk, and I added my little tile in the construction of the Machine. Similar subjects can be found in the S.H.E. animation. Note the Sciattoproduzie symbol on page three. Even if it was a solo production, I underlined my membership to the collective. There are some Apple Macintosh generated images, wireframes and pop art patterns mixed with handmade items: actually I aspired to “draw like a computer”. Final is a little bit lousy, it deserved some extra drawing.

I made this comic in 1991, under the influence of A. Pazienza‘s work (note the badge that the main character wears on his suit) At that time I was a bus rider, and a militant of Sciattoproduzie, an art collective (note the heart shaped symbol in one of the last pages). Line 280 still exists, the post office is near Piazza Mazzini, in Rome. For a better display, I cut the original pages in two. I must be honest, I also changed the final: in the original comic the Hero and the Techno Addict were not partners. Link to this article

Questa è la prima vignetta del Visual Running Log, che potete vedere anche nella versione originale sul sito di Rifondazione Podistica. – This is the first entry of my Visual Running Log, originally posted on my team’s website. The track was muddy after a hard rain. AM, Villa Pamphili. No GIN, 2+1 km. (L+4’26), STR, 1600+400 (4’13+L), R, 1km 4’23, R, 1km prog. 4’07, 2km L, STR. Un giorno di riposo in più e l’aria frizzante dopo una notte di pioggia mi hanno dato la carica. Volevo riprovare la serie 1600+400 ma ho fallito. Incontrato Stefano (Leonardi) reduce da un intervento importante. Al secondo riposo ho dovuto pulire le scarpe che erano piene di fango   Link to this article

I’ve already used this comic for a flash animation, but I think the original version deserves a post. I made the drawings during summer of 1990, while Saddam was invading Kuwait. It’s a little bit cryptic, but if you find the key it melts down easily. Link to this article

This is a very silly comic made about twenty years ago, just to study the technique. I even dared to use some Letraset patterns. Link to this article

I made these drawings twenty years ago. It was a very productive period, I was trying to develop a personal style (maybe too much “overloaded”). There was a lot of pencil and pattern overlap. I still use some of the “pop art” patterns. Few months later I made “Little Kittens“. Thanks to Miki B., the girl I made the drawings for. Link to this article
