Salvador Sanz, Javier Suppa, Ernan Ciriani coordinating the festival along with mr.Thomas Dassance ,
Polaco Scalerandi and Gaston Souto from the crazy Lule Le Lele team, Julian Sequeira, Gustavo Sala, and many more that i forgot to mention...
Thanks again to the organizers and the cultural institutions who made it possible...

Summer Of Hope... Don't Mess with Real Estate
Street painting done with the Organic Comix collective in the streets of Evian, June 21st 2007, "Fête de la Musique"
Yes, we do really use those oversaturated colors... Fun to do at the very moment we're painting it, but it makes me want to puke when seeing the result a few months afterwards.
Same story adapted in a comic page that should be published next month in the Underground/Indie Rock magazine "Abus Dangereux".
Despite the commemoration of May '68 forty years anniversary, this is just a reminder to the young generations that it's much better and reasonable to leave the decisions about their future to the elders and the ruling class... Got the message kids?

Filipiniana Again
Yes, this blog space hadn't been updated since one month...
Thing is i've been maintaining another page dedicated to the Philippine punk scene from the eighties during last September.
There's lot of bands related information and old exotic Hardcore-punk albums to download.

Classic Comics
The story -board...
This work is a bit different than what i'm usually doing.
It's for a 24 pages comics story that will be executed by eight different persons.
I took inspiration from John Buscema for the physical features and the excessive theatrical poses of the characters, even if the overall aspect is still stiff and static in the end...
Each artist have to draw a segment of four pages. Guess the final result will be quite unusual, as the artists involved in the project have very different techniques and graphic approach...
Should be published next month.

Garden Gnomes
Done the August 12th in an open air rock festival.
Those angry garden gnomes keeping vigil could epitomize the latest European politics regarding illegal immigration.
from Wikipedia: The first garden gnomes were made in the town of Gräfenroda in Thuringia, Germany in the mid-1800s by Phillip Griebel. Griebel made terracotta animals as decorations and created the gnome based on local myths as a way for people to enjoy the stories of the gnomes' willingness to help in the garden at night. The garden gnome quickly spread across Germany and into France and England, and wherever gardening was a serious hobby. Gnome manufacture spread across Germany with numerous other large and small manufacturers coming into and out of the business, each one having its own particular style of design. World War II was hard on the industry and most producers gave up then. Griebel's descendants still make them and are the last of the German producers, all others having moved production to Poland or China.
The strip at dawn.

Echo
Found this on flickr.com, Guess it's a gig happening in St Etienne, but i have no idea about that band's drummer which is wearing a pink wig. How tasteless is that?
Here's a better view of the background painting, done back in 1993, sizing 150 by 250 centimeters.
