In June I filled my schedule with market events, on 12th Gomma Festival in Milano , on 19th Festival dell’ Handmade at Ex Arsenale di Verona, on 26th East Market Milano. I felt really thankful of all those organisations because I met many people interested in my works, and I noticed much more interest in general on the art of illustration here. At Gomma Festival I met an Art Book Creator Nina Masina who publishes her handmade art books as red book boots ( www.ninamasina.it) . Her drawings tells poetic aspects and beauty of the stories she makes and I’, happy that we are now friends. At Verona Festival dell’ Handmade, it was bad weather with rain, although so many people visited the market. It was the first time I participated the market event outside of Milan, but I was so happy that I saw many people in love with my illustration and letter papers and so on. At East Market Milano, I was afraid that I wouldn’t have found such many people because of summer weekend, but there were many people there as always (may be less a bit), and I met new people enthusiast about illustrations! I also have fixed a personal exhibition that will be held in December in Reggio Emilia, and I went to the gallery to take hoots of the space and discuss about our concepts. Such a busy month and I needed some days to awake from the pause, but that was active and meaningful period.
In Giugno ho riempito il mio schedule degli eventi di mercatini, il 12 Gomma Festival a Milano, il 19 Festival dell’ Handmade a Ex Arsenale di Verona, il 26 East Market Milano. Vorrei ringraziare per tutte quelle belle organizzazioni, perché ho incontrato tanta gente interessata ai miei lavori, e soprattutto ho visto aumento dell’ interesse sull’arte di illustrazione in generale. Al Gomma Festival ho incontrato un’artista che crea i libri d’artista Nina Masina ( www.ninamasina.it) come Red Boots Books . I suoi disegni raccontano aspetti poetici e bellezza delle storie create da lei, e sono felice che ora siamo amiche. Al Festival dell’Handmade, era brutto tempo con la pioggia, ma e’ arrivata tanta gente. Era la prima volta che partecipavo ad un mercatino fuori di Milano, ma ero felice che ho visto tanta gente inamorata delle mie illustrazioni e carte da lettere ecc. All’ East Market Milano, avevo paura che non veniva tanta gente , perché e’ la fine settimana in estate la gente va al mare, ma e’ arrivata tanta gente come sempre (forse un po’ meno ) , e ho incontrato altre nuove persone entusiaste delle illustrazioni ! Ho anche fissato una mostra personale che si terra’ in dicembre in Reggio Emilia, e sono andata a fare delle foto dello spazio e discutere sui concetti che abbiamo sulla mostra. Cosi un mese indaffarato, che ho avuto bisogno di qualche giorni per recuperare, ma e’ stato un periodo attivo e significativo.
