Inspired by the work of Anastassia Elias, me and Tso made a paper roll installation for a disco night here in town.

I tried to do something different with a bunch of my postcards laying around.

With Tso again, we made a book for Edizioni Fantasma’s project. We decided to refer to our collaboration as Carmen Praxedes. We eventually abandoned the book around, as the project required.

I started 365at5. Only one month left till the end now!

I got to see J Mascis play.

I made a cheap chain necklace based upon a beautiful one my mom made about 30 years ago.

I put my embroidery machine at work again.

Together with my knit/crochet squad, we set up some thread scenery in the woods.

I visited Rome’s Botanical Garden, at last.

My very very favourite cafe/library closed, so the knit squad and I made some gifts to the survivors, as something fun to remember.

I worked on the redesign of a friend theatre group: Teatro Pantegano.

I was told to play harmonica, but I tried with no success.

I walked in the woods with some friends.

I put together the knit squad mascotte for this year. It’s still without a face! Divo and Sgonfio are past years mascottes.

Hopped on a horse again, after so long.

Made some theatre shooting for a friend. Several years had passed from the last time.

I drew a sad face, trying to make less sad faces myself (fail!).

I went to New York! Last time was in 1998. I had never seen it during autumn, it’s super.

I started A Step Behind, in addiction to my eyes diary.

Printed few analogic photos (some are very old) for Analogica.

Found a pop-up card I made in 2004.

Machine embroidered some shoppers, sewed by a friend, for Alpacha distro.

Tried some crocodile stitch.

That’s all folks! See you around, mostly on flickr, tumblr or facebook (also twitter if you like).

According to my own experience, people in Belgium seem to have great, visionary ideas when it comes to the subject of drawing&photography together. The whole Photo Doodling experience started after I saw a photo uploaded by my belgian flickr friend jo.co, which he drew and scribbled all over. And now, here comes Ben Heine in Belgium as well, with this amazing Pencil Vs Camera! set where reality is completed with drawings, in a “reality doodling” of sort!

I really like the idea and the realizations as well; the above photo is the first of the growing series, while below are some of my favourites. Here’s what Ben Heine says about how it all started, you can read more here. And this is Ben Heine’s blog, updated weekly.

I’ve been taking photos and drawing since almost 10 years. This « Pencil Vs Camera » series is nothing but the result of several years of graphic exploration and a logic consequence of my artistic evolution. But the real idea came while I was watching television and writing a letter at the same time a few weeks ago. Reading my letter before putting it in the envelope, I saw in transparency the television behind the paper. I then realize it would be great to make something similar in a single image showing 2 different actions.

Thank you Bill for the link!

Make your own photo pencils with this great Photojojo’s tutorial. You’ll only need a bunch of pencils, a photo printed on plain paper (or a drawing, too!), scissors, ruler and glue.
Make Your Own Photo Pencils.

William Wegman was born in 1943 in Holyoke, Massachusetts. [...] By the early 70s, Wegman’s work was being exhibited in museums and galleries internationally. [...] It was while he was in Long Beach that Wegman got his dog, Man Ray, with whom he began a long and fruitful collaboration. Man Ray, known in the art world and beyond for his endearing deadpan presence, became a central figure in Wegman’s photographs and videotapes. In 1981, Man Ray died. [...] William Wegman lives in New York and Maine where he continues to make videos, to take photographs and to make drawings and paintings.

I love this project:

The rules are simple: I put the self-timer on 2 seconds, push the button and try to get as far from the camera as I can.

muggezifter is running from his camera since 2006. He also links to other similar, previous or emulating, projects like As Far as I Could Get and the Escape From The Camera flickr group. Keep on running!
