Razstava slovenskega stripa in animacije v Celju / SLOVENE COMICS AND ANIMATED FILM 1996-2006, Celje

Razstava slovenskega stripa in animacije ('96-'06) v Celju (Galerija sodobne umetnosti) je bila odprta precej uspešno (=nihče se ni zravsal). Sama razstava je postavljena zelo kompetentno, nabjrž pa bo marsikdo potarnal, da manjka prenekateri stipovski avtor naše dežele. Naslednjič pa pričakujemo od prigrizka več (sicer so arašidi čisto v redu prigrizek ... če si slon.)
Pohvala leti tudi na galerijo Račka, kjer je bil razstavljen slovenski erotični strip.

Hm..na animacijo smo vsled izčrpanosti popolnoma pozabili...

Zdaj pa naj govorijo fotke.

The retrospective of the last decade of slovenian comics and animation in the Gallery of contemporary arts in Celje. The exibition and the opening were nicely executed, though some may argue that some artists were left out. The snacks were ok..if u like peanuts a lot! Wait, there were fruits too, which was actually quite refreshing. Wine too.
Due to exhaustion, we completely forgot to check the animations out...
We'll let the images do the talking.

The day of the dead strikes again

The dynamic duo from Laboite D' Aluminium, Sebastien and Benoit are on vacation in Slovenia!!! Of course we didn't hesitate to show them around the country a bit and decided to take them to Škofja Loka, a small medieval town outside Ljubljana. It was the typical day of the dead. The day, you wish you were on cemetery. You guessed it, it was rainy and grey. I don't know about you, but this calls for a comfortable easy chair, a cup of hot grog and a good comic book, to rephrase Bill Watterson.

Robo obsession yields not!

...as does not this wretched heat.

Ech. Seems like we're stuck in a loop of groundhog-day-like siesta.
Spaniards know.
Anyway, here are some of my most recent doodles, por favor.

Skizzen aus Novi Sad

The both robots were on the tshirts we sold like they were hot buns! (well not exactly, but still).

The first sketch represents two typical visitors of the Stripburger comic stand.
