Uno studio per la storia di Julia che sto disegnando attualmente, che vede protagonista una squadra di muratori. Ho rispolverato dei bei film di Ken Loach (tipo Riff Raff) e chiesto aiuto ad alcuni cari amici architetti, ottenendo preziosa documentazione per quanto riguarda la vita di cantiere. Una location piuttosto originale per un fumetto!
A preliminary study for the Julia story I am currently drawing, set in the world of construction workers. I watched some very good Ken Loach movies (Riff raff!) and asked to dear friends architects who helped especially for the construction site reference. It's a pretty unusual location for a comic book!

All'inizio di una storia/1






Ho spulciato un po' tra cd e hard disk trovando vari studi preliminari fatti per le storie di Julia. Questi sono abbastanza recenti. A volte si tratta di rendere personaggi creati da altri colleghi, per quelli nuovi invece prendo spunto da riviste, film, gente vista in metropolitana o anche amici. Li spedisco a Berardi, ne parliamo e se hanno la faccia e il fisico giusto si uniscono al cast di Julia.
At the beginnig of a new story/1
At this early stage it's time for preliminary sketches for main ocharacters, or setting atmosphere. Sometimes it's my version of pre-existing characters, most of the times they're new. I get inspiration by magazines, movie stills, people I see on the subway or even friends of mine. The sketches are shown to Berardi and, if he greenlights them, they join the cast on the pages.

Characters sketches


Here are some studies I recently did for a forthcoming story of Julia.
As you can see I've been watching some Kitano and Ozu movies lately.

Hiro
Durante l'ultimo viaggetto in Giappone, un pomeriggio ci siamo persi passeggiando per le strade di Ueno e siamo finiti in uno dei vari quartieri per biker smanettoni. Essendo da sempre un grande appassionato di moto sportive immaginavo di trovare chissà cosa in un posto del genere, invece, forse perchè era pomeriggio presto, la zona era quasi deserta. Comunque ci siamo divertiti ad entrare nei negozietti e comprare gadgets per gli amici motociclisti a casa.
Ma io mi aspettavo di incontrare personaggi folcloristici tipo quello qui sopra, smanettoni e tamarri, magari col culto della moto straniera... un altro stereotipo andato in fumo:)
Mi piacerebbe molto comunque, un giorno, disegnare una storia ambientata tra quelle viuzze e popolata da tipi del genere!
During our last trip to Tokyo my wife and I got lost walking around Ueno and found a large Biker district. I've always been fond of sportbikes and I always imagined how such a place in Tokyo may look like.... well it was early afternoon and the streets were almost desert... anyway it was full of accessories and wear shops, we had fun going in and out and buying some gadgets for my biker friends in Italy.
But... I expected to meet dudes like Hiro and his tuned Buell, as I've drawn back at home:)
Btw I'd really like to do a story located in such district, with characters like this one!
