fill in the form with block capitals using a ball point pen

inspiration comes from such diverse sources! i have decided to turn my recent experience with bureaucracy (ahh, had to check spelling in the dictionary so bad!) into a cartoon. yes i did.

how i love bureaucracy, mm! all that filling, and refilling the same forms over and over again. all that writing your own address in 20 different places, getting cramps in your wrist. all that slowness in spite of your running out of time. all that feeling of dependence, when you want to scream your lungs off at his face. all that not giving the necessary information at the beginning, when you could just have avoided that whole-day waste of time. and, of course, you have to have infinite amount of cash with you, just at that spot. of course.

don't you love it, too?

lightweight

this is the top secret illustration from before. it hung for a long time on the school wall. now it proudly hangs at home. it wasn't actually top secret, i just didn't want to show it until it was finished. one of my friends says she wants to be the pink sheep, because that one looks the happiest.

digital painting is great, but i still love good old manual painting. brushes, acrylics and all.

logicomix

what happens when a mathematician-writer, a computer scientist, and two animator-cartoonists decide to create a graphic novel about logic? well, here you go: logicomix! i'm very happy to have met alecos papadatos during the animation celebration last december at our university, and he has done all the character design and drawings in it.

pretty crazy idea, not? i was fascinated when i heard the idea; even more fascinated when i read it! bertrand russell is our hero. he is in "an epic search for truth", as on the cover of it. i was crazy about the scenario, the characters, the colors... as i told alecos, i liked that logicomix does not answer all the questions it is asking... it will be out in turkey in a couple of months, i guess.

enjoy!
