Per gusto ed eleganza è stato il più ‘parigino’ dei nostri librai antiquari. La sua prematura scomparsa ci ha privato non solo
di un libraio di indiscusso fascino e competenza, ma pure di un ideatore di libri, anche per la cura e la passione di affidare i grandi classici che amava alla ‘rilettura’ di artisti come Folon, Roberto Innocenti, Giovanni Grasso-Fravega o Antonio Saliola, e alla maestria di rilegatori d’alta gamma, come il riminese Luigi Castiglioni «il nostro unico vero legatore italiano». Gli ultimi due volumi da lui realizzati, ad esempio, Le Petit Chaperon Rouge e il Peter Pan, pubblicato poco prima della morte, resteranno negli annali dei grandi illustrati italiani del secondo Novecento. Perfino i suoi cataloghi di vendita erano rari, preziosi e ricercati: in essi instillava la medesima cura, passione e ricercatezza che amava infondere nei grandi libri che pubblicava, in una strana e fascinosa commistione tra libreria antiquaria, editoria, ideazione di libri, promozione culturale, bibliografia e bibliofilia (memorabili rimangono i cataloghi antiquari di erotica, di gastronomia e sui grandi illustrati Art Nouveau e Art Déco, primo fra tutti l’amato François-Louis Schmied). Negli ultimi anni, però, confidava agli intimi che il mondo dell’antiquariato lo aveva
stancato preferendo, alla ricerca dei grandi libri, la realizzazione di quelli che maggiormente amava lui, per condividerli con pochi amici.

On y va...
For personal reasons, I didn't post for a while. But life goes on, and so does art. There is such a lot going on right now, all through Europe (or at least the few countries I dwell in). That is uplifting enough, and there is more to come... Yes, on

The show must go on… Le spectacle continue…
Oui, mais il y a des moments dans la vie où le spectacle s’arrête tout seul. Qui font qu’un saltimbanque se soucie des spectateurs comme de sa première chaussette, ne vous déplaise. Quand la vie d’un être cher est dans la balance, tout le reste disparaît dans la brume.
Cependant, tôt ou tard, il faut bien reprendre…

ALBUM COVERS | A BRIDGE 2 FAR
ALBUM COVERS | A BRIDGE 2 FAR

Thanks in no small part to the memory-mining efforts of Cincinnati Babyhead (CB to his friends) we are delighted to present a second instalment in the ‘Bridges on Album Covers’ series. This sequel allows me to share one of my…

PODCAST: R. O. Blechman
PODCAST: R. O. Blechman
That was the first drawing I saw by R. O. Blechman.
I loved it instantly.
Firstly, it’s a great observation of how companies operate, particularly ad agencies.
But also, I was in the ideas business and I’d never seen them represented like that – in different levels from a tiny lightbulb to an enormous chandelier.
I also loved the naive style of the drawing.
It looked like a note one naughty child…

Now here’s a set of arts I’ve been meaning to finish for a long time lmaooo
I think it has been like years since I drew these pictures of Folon and Ayme, but for some reason the stars haven’t been aligned perfectly for me to draw Giacomo
Well they aligned perfectly today, so here's the entire chaotic trio, finally!
