A real good graphic novel about the life of the Japanese artist Hokusai, from the great Shotaro Ishinomori. Published in 1987, now I can enjoy here, in Spain: that because we’re different. Thanks, to the Magi.
Living Lines Library is a great place to see some drawings for animated films. It is wonderful to see characters and places are emerging and, after many studies, then come to life before our eyes on the screen. You can admire, for example, drawings of Hayao Miyazaki for Ponyo.
The other day, helping to dress Darius for his swimming class, he saw my t-shirt with the illustration of Rorschach and he said: “what a strange pirate, he can’t see anything with a cow there, in the face!“ Gradually, I’ll introduce the “Geek Side“, step by step.
El otro día, ayudando a Darío a vestirse para su clase de natación, vio mi camiseta con el personaje de Rorschach y me dijo: “¡qué pirata más raro, si no puede ver nada, con una vaca ahí, en la cara!” Poco a poco, le voy introduciendo en el “Lado Friki”, paso a paso.

Fernando Vicente illustrates brilliantly, as always, an article by Mario Vargas Llosa on Argentine’s YPF expropriation, which has been owned by the Spanish company Repsol, as majority shareholder, for 13 years. A writer-illustrator tandem fantastic. Published in “El País”, 22-4-12.

Cute animations for a nice Babasonico’s video clip. And a great song too: recharge your batteries 🙂 My son Darius, loves it.
Bonita animación para un bonito videoclip de Babasonico’s. Y una gran canción también: para que recargues las pilas 🙂 A mi hijo Darío, le encanta.
Wake up in New York
Put a comb through your hair
Don’t you ever want to lie down
When there’s no-one else around
I want to say this to you
I know I hurt you
You know you hurt me too
Don’t you ever want to lie down
Close your eyes and leave the ground?
I want to get hold of you
I’ll meet you in New York
By the drugstore on First Avenue
And then we will lie down
With the buildings all around
I want to say this to you
I want to say this to you
Even the sparrow Moebius’ orphan, disguised himself as a Arzak’s bird.
Incluso el gorrión, huérfano de Moebius, se disfrazó de pájaro de Arzak.
Moebius is not dead at all because he breastfed wtih his art to us, the little applicants artist.
Moebius no ha muerto del todo ya que todos hemos mamado de su arte, pequeños aspirantes a artista.
