These are very difficult times. And I am one step away from disappearing from the Web, even though this profile will probably remain online without any further updates. If you'd like to buy me a cup of coffee to support my Weird art and keep the wolf from the door... paypal.me/AndreaBonazzi. Thanks.

I can't understand why this was automatically labeled as "Explicit or potentially disturbing media" but... Ok. 😐

Every time I hope it's a heart attack, but instead it's just anxiety.

I'm just in distress, the Italian government has cut off basic income and social assistance, so I'm living on a monthly food package from local charities.

Lately, I've been so hungry that I'm thinking of finally adopting Renfield's diet.

R.M. Renfield explains to Dr. Van Helsing his passion for eating insects, in front of the asylum nurse, from the 1931 film Dracula.

Since 1998, the Thomas Ligotti Online forum has been the main community to discuss anything about the work of Ligotti and related authors and artists. After a long hiatus, the site is back online on a new platform, retaining all of its content, including my embarrassing first interview from 2008...

TLO Member Interview: Andrea Bonazzi

Another new friend, at least for me, is tonight's gracious subject. A fellow of several enviable talents, Andrea has been kind enough to share part of his story, viewpoints, and ideas with us for this...

Fermi's paradox is resolved by considering the universe as a social media network. We are just on the main blocklist.

And this drastically ends any vague possibility of selling my artworks in the United States again.

"Io credo nella senape!"
When Guillermo Del Toro won the Golden Lion in Venice, there was a funny mistake in the simultaneous translation during his speech: the Italian interpreter understood “I believe in mustard” (io credo nella senape) instead of “I believe in monsters.”
Buon compleanno! ❤️

Wishing a Feliz Cumpleano to Fantasy and Horror Maestro and all around one of the most loving and beloved humans, GUILLERMO DEL TORO! I hope you have a great one, @realgdt.bsky.social, pouring a tequila shot (or two) in your honor- SALUD! 🎉❤️🥂

“Italy has effectively returned to being the only European country that does not have a minimum income measure aimed at all poor individuals as such, but only at certain categories.”
And that's why I'm literally starving.

Povertà, il disastro di Giorgia Meloni nei dai della Caritas

My old cell phone sometimes turns itself off, and more often it suddenly stops recognizing the SIM card (and my brain doesn't work any better). So it's not very easy for me to stay online.

Still here, recharging my cell phone for this month at the last moment thanks to a donation. I'm still trying to figure out how to solve all the remaining troubles, including the thick fog clouding my mind.

The end. My laptop just died. My phone is slowly dying. Depressed. No money left for food, to pay any bills, nor to recharge my cell. Maybe a couple of months before being left without electricity. It seems like this is a goodbye.
Maybe I'll be back sometimes through public free Wi-Fi. Maybe not.

Nostalgia for the time when I could earn a living from my work and use social media to post and view Weird art and fiction, instead of witnessing the collapse of civilization and the prospect of imminent war.
I made this in 2001: Lovecraft with one of my sculptures (the vortex is a painted mirror).

Black and white photomontage of a young H.P. Lovecraft leaning with his left hand on a large stele, carved with tentacle motifs and indecipherable inscriptions, in which figures with tentacled faces look at a central panel depicting a vortex.
