Grand «Lucky Luke» Exhibition!

Right tomorrow, there will be the grand opening of the most comprehensive - on a world-wide scale - Lucky Luke exhibition at the caricature museum in Krems, Austria.
My buddy Achdé (successor of Lucky Luke creator Morris) is the artist behind this European comic book legend. I'm so much looking forward to it! Here's BTW a pencilly little hommage I did the other day, 'have to clean that up sometime soon for him...

Critter-Family Portrait

This is the sujet (put together of pieces mostly dating from 2006 to 2008) for the upcoming exhibition in Linz (Austria), Ars Electronica Centre, February 2010. In this connection, many, many special thanks to the Academia Nemo for their support and for piecing together this large collection. Viva Firenze! :o)



Btw, before I start working on this kind of "title card" work I often browse through the Movie Title Screenshots Database for inspiration, ideas and things. (screen shot © av-geek.com)

Travelling Exhibition: Of Critters, Ducks And Dragons

Update (SUNDAY, OCTOBER 11): John posted here the finished sculpt of the birdish dragon thing. I really like how John and Fausto added a little of their own flavour. I did btw this very character - I'm talking of the drawn one - for a children's book which supports a non-smoking campaign. That book should be published next month or so...

Alright, and here's the originally post about the exhibition things:


I will post the dates, venue and things as soon as I get the details. Cheers to the great people of the Accademia Nemo for the generous support!







This nice piece was sculpted by the fab Paolo Chiari, btw.
