with the most magical person I've ever met: &lt;a href="http://gabriel-pacheco.blogspot.com/"&gt;Gabriel Pacheco&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b style="color: #3d85c6;"&gt;ita:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i style="color: #783f04;"&gt;Dunque...Oggi è il primo giorno di Settembre, e questo significa sempre molto per me.&lt;br /&gt;Nuovi progetti, una nuova stagione (adoro l'Autunno)...Un nuovo anno, a tutti gli effetti.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ma questa volta, quest'anno inizia con una strana e nostalgica sensazione...E so che c'è un gruppo di persone là fuori che sa esattamente di cosa sto parlando...Perchè insieme abbiamo condiviso una bellissima esperienza: una settimana intensissima alla &lt;a href="http://fineartfactory.blogspot.com/"&gt;Fine Art Factory&lt;/a&gt; con la persona più magica che io abbia mai conosciuto: &lt;a href="http://gabriel-pacheco.blogspot.com/"&gt;Gabriel Pacheco&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

was also the name of a white magic enchantment: and all my doubts immediately flew away!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will inaugurate it on Monday, April 18 presenting for the occasion my new Spring Summer 2011 jewelry collection!!Yayyyyy!!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I know many of you were waiting for this new collection, you asked me many times about it...It took me a while to make it come out you beacause I felt the need to take my time to take some pictures for the catalogue (coming next, with &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/patrizia_blu/5604144378/in/photostream#/photos/patrizia_blu/5604144378/in/photostream/lightbox/"&gt;pictures by my little sister&lt;/a&gt;!) and settle down everything for this new shop...But now it's ready, and it's here!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;You can have a look at the preview on &lt;span id="goog_1473609882"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/infinitales/sets/72157626363852739/"&gt;&lt;span id="goog_1473609885"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;this flickr gallery&lt;span id="goog_1473609886"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id="goog_1473609883"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;object height="300" width="400"&gt;

:)&lt;br /&gt;So, well, I hope you will like the new shop and help me to make it grow stronger :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And now, let's come to the "new techniques"...Recently I said I wanted to experiment digital painting...I only needed the perfect occasion to try it out, and I finally found it when I received a message from &lt;a href="http://deckardcroix.com/"&gt;Deckard Croix&lt;/a&gt;, a very talented american musician, asking me to create the cover illustration for his upcoming album "Snapdragon".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, he sent me some very inspiring excerpts from the album tracks, and I came up with this idea of a girl sitting on a giant Snapdragon flower in the middle of a swamp or some sort of nowhere land:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/infinitales/5546484741/" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="Snapdragon di Alessandra Fusi, su Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Snapdragon" height="183" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5060/5546484741_bdc872e896.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;(click on the picture to enlarge)&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;So, if you want to know my opinion about it: digital painting is just AWESOME!!!&lt;br /&gt;It's not easy, at all, but incredibly funny and open to an infinite universe of possibilities...Seriously, nothing will ever compare the pleasure of colouring with actual brushes, playing all around the table leaving colorful stains everywhere...But the magic of a pen tablet is something completely different and it is really worth experimenting it more and more :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(And by the way...If you had any doubt about it, I loved it so much that I immediately used my Wacom tablet also to colour the banner of my new shop, the one you saw in the image above, at the beginning of this post).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, that's all folks for now...See you on monday in &lt;a href="http://infinitales.bigcartel.com/"&gt;my new shop&lt;/a&gt;!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span id="goog_1473609848"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id="goog_1473609855"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id="goog_1473609859"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id="goog_1473609863"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id="goog_1473609864"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id="goog_1473609860"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id="goog_1473609856"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="goog_1473609849"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LLkKxaC6vEQ/TXVGuDgr3WI/AAAAAAAAAzg/8vubJ1sX_HQ/s1600/firma.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="102" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581445070225923426" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LLkKxaC6vEQ/TXVGuDgr3WI/AAAAAAAAAzg/8vubJ1sX_HQ/s400/firma.jpg" style="height: 102px;

era anche il nome di un'incantesimo di magia bianca: e tutti i miei dubbi sono immadiatamente volati via!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lo inaugurerò Lunedì 18 Aprile presentando per l'occasione la mia nuova Spring Summer 2011 jewelry collection!! Yeeeeeh!!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;So che molti di voi stavano aspettando questa nuova collezione, mi avete chiesto spesso news. a riguardo..Ho avuto bisogno di più tempo del previsto per prepararla perchè sentivo il bisogno di farlo con calma e&amp;nbsp; di prendermi il tempo di scattare delle foto per il catalogo (in arrivo presto, con &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/patrizia_blu/5604144378/in/photostream#/photos/patrizia_blu/5604144378/in/photostream/lightbox/"&gt;foto scattate da mia sorella&lt;/a&gt;!) e preparare bene tutto per il nuovo shop...Ma ora è finalmente pronta ed è arrivata!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Potete dare uno sguardo alle anteprime in questa &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/infinitales/sets/72157626363852739/"&gt;galleria flickr.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2C9B6_-KGmc/TanU48gPHtI/AAAAAAAAAz4/rUgH5YdWoOM/s1600/collage.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="288" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2C9B6_-KGmc/TanU48gPHtI/AAAAAAAAAz4/rUgH5YdWoOM/s320/collage.png" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Riguardo al mio nuovo shop...Ho deciso di aprirlo perchè sentivo il bisogno di uno spazio nuovo, più personale...Un pò diverso da etsy.&lt;br /&gt;Io mi sento ancora una etsian, ho imparato molto durante i miei anni lì, ed io amo ancora il team e l'atmosfera di etsy...Ma ho la sensazione che stia cambiando qualcosa...Forse sono solo io, e forse tornerò felicemente indietro...ma per il momento il mio obiettivo è quello di spostare tutti i prodotti nel nuovo&amp;nbsp;  shop, un pò alla volta...E di costruire una nuova ed accogliente casetta per loro su &lt;a href="http://shop.alessandrafusi.com/"&gt;http://shop.alessandrafusi.com&lt;/a&gt; :)&lt;br /&gt;Così, bhè spero che il nuovo negozio vi piaccia e che mi aiuterete a farlo crescere :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ed ora, veniamo alle "nuove tecniche"...Recentemente ho detto di aver voglia di sperimentare la pittura digitale...Avevo solamente bisogno dell'occasione perfetta per provarla e l'ho finalmente trovata quando ho ricevuto un messaggio da &lt;a href="http://deckardcroix.com/"&gt;Deckard Croix&lt;/a&gt;, un musicista americano di talento,&amp;nbsp; che mi chiedeva di creare un'illustraziione per la copertina del suo prossimo album, "Snapdragon".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Così, mi ha inviato degli estratti delle tracce dell'abum, molto evocative, e l'idea che mi si è disegnata in testa è stata quella di una bimba seduta su un fiore gigante di bocca di leone (Snapdragon, appunto) nel mezzo di una palude o una sorta di landa desolata:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QVYIKCqV2hA/TanQBr1g4WI/AAAAAAAAAz0/geVlsWWiEak/s1600/snapdragon1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;[...]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Così...Era arrivato il momento di sperimentare con i colori...E non è stata la cosa più semplice al mondo, almeno all'inizio, perchè, come ogni nuova tecnica, la pittura digitali ha le sue difficoltà da saper gestire...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ma alla fine sono riuscita ad ottenere qualcosa di piuttosto soddisfacente per me, ad anche Deckard ha apprezzato il risultato:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/infinitales/5546484741/" title="Snapdragon di Alessandra Fusi, su Flickr"&gt;[...]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dunque, se volete conoscere la mia opinione a riguardo, la pittura digitale è FAVOLOSA!!!&lt;br /&gt;Non è semplice, assolutamente, ma incredibilmente divertente ed aperta ad un universo intero di possibilità infinite...Sul serio, niente può essere paragonato al piacere di utilizzare dei veri pennelli e impiastricciare tutta la tavola di macchie colorate...Ma la magia della penna grafica è qualcosa di completamente differente che vale la pena di sperimentare ancora di più :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(E fra l'altro...nel caso in cui aveste ancora dei dubbi, ho amato talmente tanto la mia tavoletta Wacom da averla utilizzata immediatamente anche per colorare il banner del mio nuovo shop, quello che avete visto nell'immagine all'inizio di questo post).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dunque, è tutto per ora gente...Ci vediamo lunedì nel &lt;a href="http://infinitales.bigcartel.com/"&gt;mio nuovo shop&lt;/a&gt;!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581445070225923426" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LLkKxaC6vEQ/TXVGuDgr3WI/AAAAAAAAAzg/8vubJ1sX_HQ/s400/firma.jpg" style="height: 102px;

is a delicious promo video they realized for the event...I love it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;And what about the newly discovered marvels?&lt;br /&gt;Well, yesterday I've finally watched what could probably become my all time favourite movie, a true epiphany, by one of the most surrealistic and imaginative directors I've ever known, presented by two of my favourite directors ever (David Fincher and Spike Jonze):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GxvCwR9iQ14/TXTLUgkBExI/AAAAAAAAAzY/yOhn9aopdkc/s1600/the-fall-title-screenshot.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581309391417709330" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GxvCwR9iQ14/TXTLUgkBExI/AAAAAAAAAzY/yOhn9aopdkc/s200/the-fall-title-screenshot.jpg" style="cursor: pointer;

Watch it again and again. Then spread the word and watch it with your friends, and family, and make it be contagious.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I do always feel like these kind of absolute beauty will save the world, seriously.&lt;br /&gt;If the word "Art" still has some meaning at this day, I feel that's what it's all about.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Thank you, Tarsem Singh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/IwsYyRc9j4g?fs=1" frameborder="0" height="295" width="450"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;PS: By the way, my wall panel is finally finished :)&lt;br /&gt;Have a look at the final shot &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/infinitales/5485699167/lightbox/"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://draft.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=1262315180154107487"&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LLkKxaC6vEQ/TXVGuDgr3WI/AAAAAAAAAzg/8vubJ1sX_HQ/s1600/firma.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Yeeeeeeh, esattamente...La stagione dei mercatini è finalmente ritornata alla grande!!!&lt;br /&gt;Ho atteso il ritorno del Vintage Market per così tanto tempo che adesso non vedo l'ora di parteciparvi! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://infinitales.etsy.com/"&gt;Infinitales shop&lt;/a&gt; ci sarà, naturalmente, e presenterò in anteprima la nuovissima Spring-Summer 2011 jewelry collection!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ho lavorato molto ai nuovi gioielli ed accessori nei giorni scorsi...Creando nuove collane, camei, spille, braccialetti ed anche orologi da taschino...Mi son proprio divertita!&lt;br /&gt;Non vedo l'ora di approfittare di questi giorni di sole per fare delle buone foto da postare nello &lt;a href="http://infinitales.etsy.com/"&gt;shop&lt;/a&gt; molto presto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ma per il momento, incontriamoci a Roma domenica prossima al Vintage market:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;[...]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJbAq4a-tiw&amp;amp;feature=player_embedded"&gt;Qui&lt;/a&gt; c'è un video promo delizioso realizzato appositamente per l'evento...Io lo adoro!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;E per quanto riguarda le meraviglie appena scoperte?&lt;br /&gt;Bhè, ieri ho finalmente visto quello che potrebbe con tutta probabilità diventare uno dei miei films preferiti di sempre, una vera epifania, realizzato da uno dei registi più surrealisti ed immaginifici che io abbia mai conosciuto, presentato da due dei miei registi preferiti in assoluto (David Fincher e Spike Jonze):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GxvCwR9iQ14/TXTLUgkBExI/AAAAAAAAAzY/yOhn9aopdkc/s1600/the-fall-title-screenshot.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581309391417709330" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GxvCwR9iQ14/TXTLUgkBExI/AAAAAAAAAzY/yOhn9aopdkc/s200/the-fall-title-screenshot.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 150px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 200px;" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Cosa potrei dire riguardo a questo film...Voglio dire, a parte il fatto che non ha mai raggiunto il grande schermo qui in italia -nè tantomeno i punti di noleggio dvd...Credo che non sia stao nemmeno tradotto, per quel che ne ne so- (ed io non amo molto guardare i film in streaming, è per questa ragione che ci ho messo tanto per decidermi a vederlo, ma ora che l'ho finalmente visto non ho potuto evitare di acquistare immediatamente il DVD...Voglio morire bagnando i miei occhi di lacrime  di fronte a quei meravigliosi colori iper saturi!!)...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Penso che l'unica cosa che valga la pena di dire sia &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;guardatelo&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Fate a voi stessi un magnifico regalo e guardate questo film, e fatelo in lingua originale, con le  voci degli attori originali ed i loro meravigliosi accenti differenti. Guardatelo ancora e ancora.

And I must thank the new blogger template designer for this chance to change the rules without going mad with html codes (I've learned my own way to deal with them...But I must admit that I'm always happy to avoid that struggle if I can)!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More news, more news...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/infinitales?section_id=7687983"&gt;Infinitales Postcards&lt;/a&gt; are finally in my &lt;a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/infinitales"&gt;shop&lt;/a&gt;!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_570xN.205809569.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_570xN.205809569.jpg" border="0" height="320" width="298" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I've been thinking about printing some high quality postcards for a long while, and now that I did I'm truly happy with the great job that the print company did...And they have those lovely rounded corners (that I choosed also for my new business cards) that I adore, so yummy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And now, &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(61, 133, 198);"&gt;the greatest change&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; of them all, at least for a "classical" illustrator like me: I decided to try to find my way through &lt;i&gt;the magical world of digital illustration&lt;/i&gt;!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Let the bell ring!!! That's such a great new for me :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Of course I will never abandon the classical techinque, I love brushes and painting too much, but I also love to try new paths and experiments all the time...So I decided that digital painting will be my new frontier...Wish me good luck!

♥&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm so excited, I can't believe I'll finally see the landscapes of my dreams...This is surely going to be deeply inspiring...Moreover, I'll have the chance to improve my english&lt;br /&gt;(we'll stay in a host family&lt;img class="emoticon" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2659/3723819722_91b8d1fb6c_o.gif" alt="pika14" title="pika14" height="22" width="24" /&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know that September is always &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;the month I'm waiting for&lt;/span&gt; to give birth to all my new projects (and I do have a lot, indeed!) but now that my work on my latest book is finally over, I truly feel like I need a break...Even if this will probably mean that some of my new school and stationery products could make their first appearance in my &lt;a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/infinitales"&gt;etsy shop&lt;/a&gt; in October...Won't you be waiting a little longer?&lt;img class="emoticon" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2648/3723008997_95de2df607_o.gif" alt="pika06" title="pika06" height="22" width="24" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not even if I show you the reason of this waiting?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here it is!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vX-68RiWNl0/TFhU9JXAQ6I/AAAAAAAAAsM/ac8_WUHtJg8/s1600/copertina.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 382px; height: 382px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vX-68RiWNl0/TFhU9JXAQ6I/AAAAAAAAAsM/ac8_WUHtJg8/s400/copertina.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501240354294219682" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;A very special preview for your eyes only: the cover of my book about cats &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;"7 gatti"&lt;/span&gt;, coming up next year for Zampanera editore, Italy...yayyy!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The work on this book has been very fun, and yet a little tricky, because it has been my very first non-scientific illustration experience using designer's gouache: I decided to try this technique mostly because some of my friends and favourite artists use it and...I&lt;br /&gt; hated it! And then I deeply loved it, and then again I hated it, and now....I'm afraid gouache could seriously steal my heart!&lt;br /&gt;I don't think I will ever abandon my usual mixed technique, but the possibilities that gouaches offer are nearly infinite...And now I want to keep on learning and experimenting even more! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The feeling that accompanies the end of a long work, like an illustrated album, is always pleasant: someting between pride and -&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;temporary&lt;/span&gt;- relax...So I thought it was the case to celebrate it giving myself some gorgeous presents! (Sounds realistic...To be true I only wanted more and more artbooks, as usual!

Looking closely to the tiniest details in those mesterpieces...Joe Sorren, Scott Musgrove, Travis Louie...Even Mark Ryden! Just to name a few...If you ever get the chance to travel down there to Spoleto do not miss this exhibition for nothing on earth...It is even worth organizing a trip expecially to see the show and the delicious city, wich is seriously one to the places I'd love to be living in ♥&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;(the one below is me, mesmerized by the liquid colours of my favourite piece of the whole exhibit..by Joe Sorren ♥)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vX-68RiWNl0/TFhWZsiQAhI/AAAAAAAAAsc/SkzrKUL3PYA/s1600/IMG_0080.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 140px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vX-68RiWNl0/TFhWZsiQAhI/AAAAAAAAAsc/SkzrKUL3PYA/s200/IMG_0080.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501241944284594706" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And now the point is....Where the heck do I place these new books???&lt;br /&gt;The shelves in my room are litterary about to collapse and crash on my head while I'm asleep...Aaaargh!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vX-68RiWNl0/TFhVpyo-RpI/AAAAAAAAAsU/8LqL4wEwM-I/s1600/IMG_009072.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vX-68RiWNl0/TFhVpyo-RpI/AAAAAAAAAsU/8LqL4wEwM-I/s400/IMG_009072.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501241121289684626" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;This is just a part of my collection of artbooks and other oddities...My bed lies right under those heavy shelves...Uops!&lt;br /&gt;Oh well, at least they always inspire my sweet dreams...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See you after the break guys, unless the shelves won't collapse before!&lt;img style="width: 24px; height: 22px;" class="emoticon" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2668/3723008941_abfc133166_o.gif" alt="pika04" title="pika04" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;img class="centered" alt="post signature" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2568/3805453288_0c463ddfbe_o.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vX-68RiWNl0/TFhU9JXAQ6I/AAAAAAAAAsM/ac8_WUHtJg8/s1600/copertina.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img alt="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vX-68RiWNl0/TAOJsyRhmsI/AAAAAAAAApg/ALjMhr5TL0U/s1600/separe.jpg" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vX-68RiWNl0/TAOJsyRhmsI/AAAAAAAAApg/ALjMhr5TL0U/s1600/separe.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ciao a tutti!!&lt;br /&gt;Questo sarà probabilmente il mio ultimo post prima del mio break vacanziero a Settembre:  trascorrerò tre settimane con il mio ragazzo a Galway, in Irlanda!! ♥&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sono emozionatissima, non posso credere che finalmente vedrò i paesaggi ed i cieli dei miei sogni...Sarà sicuramente  fonte d'inspirazione. In più avrò anche occasione di migliorare il mio inglese (staremo in casa-famiglia&lt;img class="emoticon" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2659/3723819722_91b8d1fb6c_o.gif" alt="pika14" title="pika14" height="22" width="24" /&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So bene che Settemre è sempre &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;il mese tanto atteso&lt;/span&gt; per dare il via a tutti i miei nuovi progetti (e ne ho molti, in effetti!) ma ora che il mio lavoro per il mio ultimo libro è finalmente terminato, sento davvero il bisogno di prendermi una pausa...Anche se questo probabilmente significherà che i miei nuovi prodotti di cartoleria e per la scuola faranno la loro prima apparizione nel mio &lt;a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/infinitales"&gt;etsy shop&lt;/a&gt; solamente ad Ottobre, ma....Non avete voglia di aspettarli un pochino di più?&lt;br /&gt;Nemmeno se vi mostro la ragione dell'attesa?&lt;img class="emoticon" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2648/3723008997_95de2df607_o.gif" alt="pika06" title="pika06" height="22" width="24" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eccola qui!&lt;br /&gt;[...]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Un'anteprima molto speciale, la copertina del mio libro &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;"7 gatti"&lt;/span&gt;, in uscita il prossimo anno per Zampanera editore...yeeeeh!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lavorare a questo libro è stato molto divertente, anche se non è stata proprio una passeggiata,  poichè è stata la mia primissima esperienza di illustrazione fiction con i colori a tempera: ho deciso di sperimentare questa tecnica soprattutto perchè alcuni tra i miei amici ed illustratori preferiti la usano e...L'ho odiata!&lt;br /&gt;E poi l'ho amata alla follia e poi l'ho odiata di nuovo, e ora....Ho paura che le tempere potrebbero definitivamente conquistarmi!&lt;br /&gt;Non credo che abbandonerò mai la mia abituale tecnica mista, ma le possibilità che le tempere offrono sono pressochè infinite...Ed ora ho una gran voglia di continuare ad imparare e sperimentare! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Il sentimento che accompagna la fine di un lavoro lungo, come un albo illustrato, è sempre piacevole: qualcosa a metà tra orgoglio e &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;-temporaneo-&lt;/span&gt; relax ...Dunque ho pensato bene che sarebbe stata un'ottima occasione per fare a me stessa dei regali! (Suona realistico...Ad essere sincera avevo solo volgia di nuovi artbooks! Bwahahaha!!).&lt;br /&gt;Ad ogni modo, ecco a voi i miei ultimi acquisti, caldamente consigliati a tutti!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Daisies - Affogato all'Amarena&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Claire Wendling&lt;br /&gt;Editore: Soleil - Collection Mètamorphose&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Questo è un libro DAVVERO speciale: un edizione elegantissima (io adoro le edizioni deluxe!) che cela al suo interno un vero tesoro di schizzi e disegni di questa artista meravigliosa...Devo ammettere che non la conoscevo prima...Ma ammetto con piacere di AMARLA adesso!&lt;br /&gt;Adoro il suo mix di personaggi cartoon-style con le loro movenze ed i loro corpi dalle line morbide con quel tocco di Art Nouveau...Ed il modo in cui disegna gli animali!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;*Wows*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Rebecca Dautremer Artbook&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rebecca Dautremer&lt;br /&gt;Editore: Chêne&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cosa posso dire?&lt;br /&gt;Tutti noi conosciamo Rebecca Dautremer...E' così incredibilmente e meravigliosamente influente nel mondo dell'illustrazione in questo momento...E lo merita pienamente!&lt;br /&gt;Ammiro questa donna con tutto il mio cuore, e la ammiro con quella punta di gelosia che un illustratore conosce molto bene: quella particolare gelosia che si prova verso qualcuno che ha raggiunto tutti gli obiettivi che ti sei prefisso per te stesso, quel tipo di gelosia che si prova nei confronti del tuo eroe &lt;img class="emoticon" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2556/3723819448_87eca57377_o.gif" alt="pika07" title="pika07" height="22" width="24" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Se osservate da vicino tra le pagine di questo libro,  scoprirete anche il suo senso dell'umorismo (una cosa fondamentale per un illustratore, secondo me), i suoi dubbi, e un mucchio di spunti e di ispirazione!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il sentimento che lascia è qualcosa come: "Oh mamma! Ho ancora COSI' tanto da imparare!!!....Urràààààà!!"&lt;br /&gt;E non potrete fare a meno di amarlo...Che siate illustratori oppure no! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Pop Surrealism: What a Wonderfool World&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Editore: Drago Street art Publisher&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ed ora, questo libro è davvero qualcosa...Non solo per il libro in sè (una bellissima edizione, in effetti) ma per quello che rappresenta: questo è il catalogo della primissima GRANDE mostra collettiva Pop Surrealista qui in Italia!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sono stata alla mostra a Spoleto la scorsa settimana ed ero emozionata come una bimba in un negozio di caramelle! Osservando da vicino i più piccoli particolari di questi capolavori...Joe Sorren, Scott Musgrove, Travis  Louie...Persino Mark Ryden! Per nominarne giusto un pò...Se per caso doveste avere la possibilità di fare un giro a Spoleto non perdetevi questa mostra per niente al mondo...Vale la pena anche di organizzare un viaggio solamente per vedere la mostra e la città, deliziosa, che è seriamente uno dei posti dove mi piacerebbe vivere ♥&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(questa qui sotto sono io, ipnotizzata dai colori liquidi di uno dei miei pezzi preferiti di tutta la mostra...di Joe Sorren ♥)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;[...]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ed ora il punto è....Dove caspita metto questi nuovi libri???&lt;br /&gt;Le mensole della mia camera stanno seriamente pensando di crollare sulla mia testa mentre dormo...Aaaargh!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;[...]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Questa è solamente una parte della mia collezione di artbooks e altre stranezze...Il mio letto è posizionato proprio là sotto quelle pesantissime mensola...Ops!&lt;br /&gt;Bhè, almeno mi inspirano sempre dei bei sogni...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ci vediamo dopo il break ragazzi, a meno che le mensole non crollino prima! &lt;img class="emoticon" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2668/3723008941_abfc133166_o.gif" alt="pika04" title="pika04" height="22" width="24" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;img class="centered" alt="post signature" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2568/3805453288_0c463ddfbe_o.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1262315180154107487-4117592351861624002?l=alessandrafusi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://alessandrafusi.blogspot.com/feeds/4117592351861624002/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://alessandrafusi.blogspot.com/2010/08/big-stop-some-dreamy-suggestions-and.html#comment-form' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1262315180154107487/posts/default/4117592351861624002'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1262315180154107487/posts/default/4117592351861624002'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://alessandrafusi.blogspot.com/2010/08/big-stop-some-dreamy-suggestions-and.html' title='A big stop, some dreamy suggestions, and a little preview :)'/><author><name>Alessandra Fusi</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/107731498326964315953</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-xKM1IbEN03w/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAA1M/RVPoSXVLMO0/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vX-68RiWNl0/TFhU9JXAQ6I/AAAAAAAAAsM/ac8_WUHtJg8/s72-c/copertina.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1262315180154107487.post-8687512099599561680</id><published>2010-07-23T16:54:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2010-07-23T17:27:22.895+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Artwork and illustrations'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Artshows and exhibitions'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='gallery nucleus'/><title type='text'>Too much sugar will ruin your teeth...</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;And I'm not used to it...But, oh well, sometimes it's just so yummy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;img class="emoticon" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2652/3723010003_fe8a05935e_o.gif" alt="pika33" title="pika33" height="22" width="24" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That could defintely be the theme of my latest piece for the collective exhibition about japanese street fashion: &lt;a href="http://www.gallerynucleus.com/gallery/exhibition/237"&gt;Sweet Streets&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The theme is just so GREAT, the artists involved absolutely AWESOME (well, this doesn't really help because sometimes you can feel the pressure..AAArgh!) and I could't help but representing my all-time-favourite fashion style: &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;

La redazione della rivista selezionerà in questa  occasione alcuni artisti per condurre un nuovo artwork sui Tarocchi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      L'idea dei "Ludus Trionphorum" è europea e nasce in Germania nel  1420, ne è testimonianza la presenza nel gioco di Krnöffel. Venti anni  dopo vengono creati i Tarocchi, carte da gioco commissionate dalle corti  signorili dell' Italia settentrionale. Il mazzo era diviso in due  parti; la prima serie composta da carte con valori numerici e figure  divise in quattro semi, la seconda serie, detta dei "Trionfi", composta  da carte rappresentanti un preciso ordinato insieme di soggetti: ruoli  sociali, virtù, concetti filosofici e religiosi. Il loro scopo, oltre  che ludico, era destinato all'insegnamento dei giovani delle famiglie  nobili.       &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      22 TAROCCHI&lt;br /&gt;      Giovedi’ 15 luglio 2010&lt;br /&gt;

Non solo io adoro questa galleria, ma sono realmente cresciuta con i personaggi di He-Man e She-Ra, mi ricordo benissimo i giocattoli e le immagini pubblicitarie della Mattel sul giornale di Topolino...Il tema di questa mostra è troppo divertente!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Devo ammettere che lo stile del cartone non potrebbe essere più diverso dal mio (Senza contare l'orrido senso del colore che avevano negli anni 80...Agh!!) ma proprio quella è stata la parte più divertente!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Ecco i miei due pezzi per la mostra:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"Il riposo della Principessa del Potere"&lt;/span&gt; &amp;amp; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"Giocando a Castle GreySkull"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Date un'occhiata a &lt;a href="http://www.slashfilm.com/2009/12/22/cool-stuff-under-the-influence-art-show-masters-of-the-universe/"&gt;questo articolo&lt;/a&gt; per vedere alcuni degli altri meravigliosi pezzi!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ed ora lasciate che vi racconti un pò delle le mie vacanze di Natale a New York City!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E' una città fantastica: senpre di corsa, piena di luci, enoooooormi negozi di giocattoli (yayyy!!), scoitattoli, neve...&lt;img class="emoticon" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2556/3723819448_87eca57377_o.gif" alt="pika07" title="pika07" height="22" width="24" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Per una ragazza europea come me, una città come questa può non avere un'aria accogliente efamiliare (come invece è Parigi, ad esempio), ma essere una straniera in città non è mai stato così divertente!&lt;br /&gt;La cultura americana è così giovane paragonata al "Continente", ma investono così tanto nell'arte contemporanea e nell'architettura, abbiamo davvero qualcosa da imparare!&lt;br /&gt;E la &lt;a href="http://www.moma.org/visit/calendar/exhibitions/313"&gt;mostra di Tim Burton al MoMa&lt;/a&gt;?? OH MIO DIO!!! Non ho davvero parole per descriverla a parte: Non perdetevela se potete!! Correte a New York e godetevela se ne avete l'occasione (la mostra durerà fino al 26 Aprile)!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E' un posto così pieno di vita...Così tante cose da fare e in così poco tempo!&lt;br /&gt;Ad esempio? Saltellare sul &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjA4uEU2X5k"&gt;Big Piano a Fao Schwarz &lt;/a&gt;ae &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BGwHDJ0r5g"&gt;incontrare Babbo Natale da Macy's&lt;/a&gt; (oddio!!
