Hi everyone,
I'm gonna tell you something that you've never heard from anybody:
NEW YORK IS AN AMAZING CITY.

Ok.

Maybe someone has already told this.

Ok.

I'm a moron :P

Anyway, as you can see, I and my friend Alessandro :iconalessandromicelli: totally enjoyed our vacation in NY! The weather was fortunately fine and people were GREAT! My god, I could never find so kind people here in Europe! You're the best, guys! Love you!

You can find a kind of compilation of pictures here

I met a lot of people at the Con, new and old friends, unfortunately I missed someone ( :iconchriscopeland: and :iconwaitedesigns: , again, I'm sooooooo sorry!!!), and I missed some sketchbooks I absolutely wanted to have (LeSean's one and Sanford Greene's one...damn!).

My "Con best Cosplayer Award" goes to the AMAZING li'l Wolverine. I swear, I laughed for about 10 minutes. Simply incredible. you can find a picture on the Compilation.

My "Con best purchase Award" goes without any doubt to an original HellBlazer page by the amazing talented :iconseangordonmurphy:, actually one of my favourite artists (psssst, guys, if you want an advice, go and buy some of his stuff: for that quality, I can say he's practically givin'it for free!).

I had some meetings with various publishers, expecially Marvel and DC; and it's always the same story: "man, your pages rock, you've got a very cool style....BUT....We actually do not have a contract for you, 'cause you've got a too extreme style, maybe in the future.... not a good period for cartoony styles :)

Madison Square Garden was GREAT, and fortunately the Knicks had a great game until the 4th quarter, so it's been a very riveting game. I've also heard that the stadium is goin' to be crashed and re-builted, so I can consider myself lucky, 'cause I've had the chance to see the old one before the re-construption :)

Unfortunately we didn't see a lot of the cultural part of the city, we only had a panoramic view on the Empire State Building (so we can at least say that "we saw EVERYTHING on Mahattan" :D :D :D ) and a less more...You know, when you see shops that sell things at 10, while the same things cost 40 in Italy...well, you're practically FORCED to spend the entire time into shops!!! :D (and the entire money...sigh!)

There's another ton of things to say, but I don't want to bother you guys anymore, so I'm going to close with a little advertising:
please go and take a look at "Things Wrong With Me" [link] , a webcomic written by the great Adam P. Knave and illustrated by me. Few art, but tons of fun, trust me!!!

CIAO!

I have to say, I'm so disappointed you didn't get any contracts from Marvel or DC! I saw your name on the Marvel list (I submitted too, but I recognized your name) and thought for sure you'd be hired. I like your art a lot and think you're very talented. It's just a matter of time but I know one day you'll be doing some kickass comics for Marvel and DC.

yeah, it's not the first time this happen.
I was also selected as one of the 12 ChesterQuest finalists, but after one year I don't have any script yet.
As you told, it's only a matter of timing: simply, the mainstream is not requesting new cartoony styles at the moment :)

Maybe the problem is not your pages, or your style (wich totally rocks!! btw); is the punk who draw the pages, hehe. Just kiddin Theo. Did you make on time to pick up some of the copic markers to sketch, that I was telling you about before you leave to NY??...No?? Well, cause I know you`re a lazy prick (so am I), I found some Photoshop brushes you might find interesting: [link]
And If you really like the textures, then you can purchase some real prismacolor or copic markers. I know is not the same, but this is the cheaper way.
Good to hear that you had fun on NY.
Ciao, Theo!
