"Mornings"; a thread.

new minicomic(s) - Formless Formless is a collection of 1-10 page exercises and experiments, partly made to try to get back into making comics again. About: a dream, a deal, fish, telling stories, remembering, or more. 24 pages, 5×7in, risograph printed in black (interiors) + bright gold (covers)
riso-printed cover for Formless Formless by A Liang Chan: the title is in spiky vertical almost illegible lettering in gold-brown, under small panels in black with snippets of scenes. Interior cover with table of contents and a fragmented comic of meeting someone you don't remember in a dream. A comic spread: "Sympathy" in lettering made of broken branches. A villager walks through a forest and finds a goose-like bird with an arrow through its neck, which begins to speak. A comic spread: on the left is a full page of the sky over the ocean, a silhouette looking out over the perfectly centered horizon. On the right, 3 people on an island go about various tasks, and meet on a terrace for a meal.

Remember this time when I spent half a week studying the roughly-100 first-pages of a Garden of Spheres because I was so endeared with the art of making comic

I miss it tbh but also wtf

Today's warm-up
Might as well start again the "random sketch of the day" series

I'm doing ink sketches everyday for work so I didn't even realize that I was doing #inktober by default but here am I

The true face of the author
Small ink drawing of someone sleeping on a desk. They wear a huge winter pullover and are sleeping on their glasses. The text reads: En hiver, j'hiberne. (In winter, I hibernate).

BELVEDERE issue -26: MACULATA.

Probably the most personal and obscure thing i've ever drawn, and the most beautiful; people told me they teared up and "didn't have energy for anything else". A comic about the South Isles.

37 BW pages.

Free to read on my folder:
drive.google.com/file/d/1Ydek...
Comic cover, divided in two sections: Upper: A picture of Cat Aviator about to throw a paper airplane. To its left, the original greek version of Konstantinos Kavafis' poem "Remember, Body" and below that, a couple of verses by my character Pappagallino: Birds I could see frozen in the air, Yellow-green and blue around the eyes, Grasshopper-green slender jewels, When they rested their wings… Lower: Title and the same information as in the post, along with a list of characters: Cat Aviator (Retired) Pappagallino God of Winds "Dog Lady on the stairs" The South Isles C541 "BELVEDERE" Aircraft (it's vintage!) And a picture of Parrot giving the thumbs up. Character intro page, featuring portraits the main cast (Cat, God of Winds and Parrot) along with a brief introduction of each. CAT AVIATOR (RETIRED) A Cat who is an Aviator who is Retired. The original pilot of the Belvedere, now in the capable hands of his good friend Heron, he spends his days writing and reading in the garden of his small seaside villa. He can talk to birds and his best friend is a seagull (animal) named Comandante. Comandante was on vacation in the north during the events of this here comic. GOD OF WINDS, or “PIRATE PRINCE”, or “DOLPHIN”, or “CAPITANO JOHN” A romantic old god of the South Isles, he takes the shape of a young man with blonde hair and dark eyes. When mingling with the normal folk, he wears an eyepatch and goes by the name “Capitano John”. Had a brief but passionate love affair with our Cat Aviator. Enjoys calling himself a pirate but doesn’t own a ship (he walks on water). PARROT, or “PARROT-MAN”, or “PARROTMAN”, or “PAPPAGALLINO” A store clerk from Salina and amateur poet, he wrote the four verses on the cover of BELVEDERE issue -26: MACULATA. Another one of Cat’s love affairs, this one having lasted 5 years and ended on very good terms. In the end, both of them were very “hard to be friends with” and acknowledged it without fuss. They occasionally meet and catch up.

Birdwatching.
Kitty enjoying his 50s, that is to say: birdwatching. He's standing and looking through his binoculars, trying to understand what bird he's looking at. He has a handy guide with him, called "Uccelli delle Isole Meridionali, VOL.III, CHITA", Chita being the island he's currently visiting. His blue bicycle leans against his leg. In the background, various pictures I took during my walks on the beach.
