Look at '... WALLY'S WEEK

Hello everyone and hello to all, how are you?
Today I come to talk about comics, and for once I do it from a new initiative that is taking shape in Italy and to which I can not help but make the most sincere good luck. In fact I just got the first official press release Ren Study of Bologna, a small publishing reality of Bologna (founded as editorial services agency) that - until now - has made it clear who wants to publish comics gay or gay friendly, made by authors that creative freedom will be left almost total.
To prove a theory that I have often expressed on this blog, Ren own study shows that when an Italian publisher (even more if small) chooses to adopt a policy like this is precisely why
is administered by one or more openly gay. With all due respect to those who think that the fact that in Italy there are few comics gay is not linked to the fact that so many publishers and authors are still afraid to come out. In any case, for now Ren Studio will start with the comics published online. To open the dances we think the surreal Ophelia, written and illustrated by Giulio Macaione.
The first chapter it is already on the site, and just to make things clear we see immediately that the main character lives in her grandmother's house along with his gay cousin Gabriel, said Bear (for obvious reasons).
The story is promising, although sixteen pages are still a little 'bit. Pending further developments were also announced other proposals quite interesting, such as the cartoons of The Amir, the chat between God and a young gay.
And there is also room for foreign authors, from Thomas dall'originalissimo Gonyea, which makes the webcomic The Gay Nerd Comic .
short, despite the Ren Studio projects are at an early stage, I am inclined to think that will be worth following them carefully ... Also because these days every initiative in Italy that comic nod to the gay world is a small event, especially if it does so without falling into banality and superficiality in the media of our country we have long been accustomed to. We hope for good! Meanwhile, the guys at Ren Studio (which in part known for years), have all earned my respect, especially because these days have a policy for gays in our country it means to be very brave. Something that maybe does not happen with the editors of other nations who can afford to make announcements like this with some frequency and without tempting fate. Later this year, for example, the publisher will publish Gmunder A new collection of erotic comics art in Zack Oliver Frey. This time it will be some stories of his character Rogue ...

I must admit that, lately, the Gmunder is amazing me with all these quality repechage. The sinister Rogue was a cartoon character homoerotic cult British 80s and early 90s, but had remained almost entirely unknown in other nations. To be honest I began to think that he would be in editorial limbo for who knows how long ... But here it is. This means that finally, the gay publishing has begun to take seriously even the homoerotic comics in the full sense of the word? We'll see, but maybe we are on track. Meanwhile, regarding the right track, today I also point out that from April, the U.S. channel STARZ will start transmitting a new standard in style SPARTACUS: BLOOD AND SAND ... And this time it will be a review of the evergreen King Arthur ...
probably opportunities to see naked males will be much less than SPARTACUS, but this series will adopt a crude, adult, uncensored, which means it can not be excluded even gay issues explicit enough (especially considering that at that historical and cultural context, homosexual relations were not so rare). I must admit that after years and years (let's say centuries) that was presented in this saga version for families or worse, I am very curious to see what might jump out ... If only because Joseph Fiennes (Shakespeare in Love than the movie, you know?), Merlin intepreterà probably more attractive we've ever seen on the big and small screen ...
We'll see ... As we'll see if the shares of Marvel, with the upcoming series dedicated to reviving Hercules (which will be called simply Herc), someone will remember that the funeral of this character (in the short time that had been thought dead) was turned out that he was bisexual (and had at least had an affair with the openly gay superhero Northstar) ... It would be very interesting if it did not pass over in silence and was not omitted from new writers, including because it could represent a further step forward for the representation of diverse GLBT universe in the comics mainstream.
Hope never dies, even though in this case admit that I entertain some doubts about the real possibility that such a decision can be taken lightly. Be that as it will end this post with a clearly positive signal: it has recently entered the market the video game Dragon Age 2, as earlier versions have an eye for options homosexuals in the performance of the adventure ...
However this time the initiative can not move until the player, but also by some characters that appear in the course of the adventure and are programmed to make homosexual advances to the heroes (and heroines) that are operated dall'ignaro player above. Not bad, right? Hello
and the next.

4 Oz Of Frozen Chicken Is

Hello everyone and hello to all, how are you? Also this week
your favorite blog (^__^) starts with a little 'news, starting with a statement of the gentleman in the picture below, which is of Polish origin, and is called Andreas Deja ... One name that probably will not say anything to most of you, although maybe you can guess that has something to do with the world design, to be precise with the design and animation ...
fact Andreas Deja is the graphic designer responsible for the animation and some Disney characters popular in recent years, and especially some very bad teeth, like those you see below.
you may have noticed also that his villains are always the certain air of gay, and this fact is explained by the fact that Mr. Andreas Deja is openly gay, and its bad wanted to focus a good deal of the worst features that have noticed the world gay ... With the narcissism sinuous movements, by the perfidy of his face grimacing in some particularly slimy. At the time the gay groups complained enough about this, because its bad Disney reflected a number of gay stereotypes, but then not to deal with gay people as evil, but rather in the sense of evil people gay term. This is not necessarily a sign of homophobia, especially considering that these characters were designed by an openly gay man.
As evidence of the fact that Andreas Deja does not suffer from internalized homophobia and the gay world does not think that is the worst possible, has just released a statement to the Australian site News.com.au , who had asked him if he was ready for a Disney animated film with gay families. The facilitator replied:

"There are more and more families have two dads or two moms? Time will tell. I think once that Disney will have found the right story for this type of discourse, the film will be no problem. "

He added that Disney, at present, is a very gay-friendly (and I would certainly say: now is headed by an openly gay man named Rich Ross!). Obviously, these statements should be taken for what they are, but I think the thing in itself has a certain symbolic importance, and furthermore to clarify once and for all that air of some gay bad Disney was not necessarily to be interpreted as a gesture of contempt toward homosexuality and homosexuals. By the way, in front of someone like Andreas Deja, I could not help but think of all those creative gay, even in Italy, working for an audience primarily of children (or more generally not openly gay ) live in constant fear of being discovered and of seeing his career jeopardized. is certainly not for me to judge, but I think it is important to note that there are alternatives. And, like me, I also think gay and lesbian youth workers who work Pixar (a company specializing in digital animation, which produced hits like FINDING NEMO, which is closely linked to Disney), who made an entire video in which they speak of their experience, their coming out and how it is important to feel accepted for who you are. Obviously, since this is the blog that shows you what the others do not show you, you can see below ... Of course in English.

The video was shot to help the association THE TREVOR PROJECT, which has the aim to prevent suicide among young gay men. To be honest, when I see certain things really does seem that in Italy we stayed at prehistoric levels, both associations and in terms of testimonials, but especially at the level of cooperation between the various aspects of the gay world. Obviously the hope is that things will change. In the meantime, I note that at Pixar there would be enough to organize a small Gay Pride. In studies of Italian animation you can breathe the same air? Some of you who read this blog there is someone who can offer a first-hand testimony in this regard? I look forward to. In any case, to stay on the subject of anomalies Italian, I wanted to point out here a story of which you spoke even a few national news. You may not know, but Pisa is one of the largest murals painted by the artist (and active) gay Keith Haring . This work is called Tuttomondo and was also the last work created by the public: it was painted in 1989 and he died a year later from complications due to AIDS. The mural is located on the outer wall of the Convent of San Antonio in Pisa, and, unfortunately, begins to feel the time passing, because its brilliant colors are inevitably fading (compared with that in the photo above).
Obviously someone has suggested the need for restoration, but - as in our country are not even the money to prevent Pompeii falling apart - it's highly unlikely that the Haring mural to return to its original splendor in time short. Will end to fade at all? Of course I hope not, but I think its degradation has a significant symbolic meaning, as we have the total indifference of the Italian gay community to the issue. Everyone can draw his own conclusions. I close this post with a note of cheer, given that today is International Women's Day and - as always punctual - the illustrator Marco Albiero this year has prepared his own greeting card.
Carina true? He becomes more and more clever, and I keep wondering what it would be nice that in Italy there are any gay friendly spaces to better exploit the talented artists like him. Obviously, the hope never dies, but perhaps came time to change strategy. Hello
and the next.

NEWS VIDEO OF THE WEEK

Hello everyone and hello to all, how are you?
This week I'm particularly pleased because I finally put on sale in my catalog of proposals LULU (CLICK HERE or on the cover below) , a volume that I hold dear. In fact, after almost two years (How time flies!), The anthology is now available / exhibition catalog RAINBOWS AMONG THE CLOUDS, I edited in Genoa on the occasion of National Gay Pride 2009.
In reality all this delay was due to the fact that in the last two years I wanted to see if by Arcigay (Which sponsored the thing at the time) there was interest in doing something similar or circulate the show, but since the comics are still quite alien to the mentality of the Italian gay association, nothing happened of that. So, in order to prevent this work being lost, I thought to offer a first selection of works that have led for the first time the comic and illustration in a gay-themed show of Italian comic (for the other artists I have studied and / or will study other options), starting from those of Jacopo Camagni (who also won the cover) ...
Each gallery is preceded by an introductory card of each author and one of my personal anecdote about my personal experience with the artists that have been collected in this volume (as in one way or another, I had to deal directly with each other). It seemed to me a somewhat 'original take stock of the situation on the Italian gay-themed comic in the last ten years, so much so that in this volume are also the work of Dany & Dany, representing the world of BOYS LOVE Made in Italy.
The book is also a taste of the art of Marco Albiero, including a collection of wallpapers for mobile theme sexy guys who produced years ago.
But what - in my opinion - is the centerpiece of this anthology, is the contribution of Giuseppe Fadda, a cartoonist whose production - unfortunately - is almost unknown to the public Internet and has carried for years on a fixed page monthly gay Babylon. Those of his cartoons, which sometimes have really touched the genius, offering a fresco at the same time delicate and unforgiving reality of gay and was a real shame that lies forgotten ... One reason for their absence from the internet was yet another proof that, in our country, the gay world does not know what good value crabs and originally produced in years ...
So in this volume will find a large selection of his work (almost all of his cartoons in color) product between 1998 and 2002 (when his collaboration with Babylon permanently ceased, leaving him disappointed and saddened for him to give up to pursue his career as a cartoonist).
The fact that these cartoons are now collected and republished, in my opinion, is a great way to show that there is a part of the gay world that is not only the D & G underwear and premises, and that There is also wanting a whole alternative gay culture that can still be rediscovered and appreciated ... Also thanks to the Internet.
Perhaps this volume will not make miracles, but could represent another small step in this direction. If want to invest some € to enrich your cultural heritage gay this might be a good idea. Obviously if you decide to buy it (in pdf or printed version), let me know what you think, that I care.
soon.
