Summer books, the Milano Criminale slipcase

by davidelp 26 October 2011

Today I’m happy to suggest a good summer book. The Milano Criminale slipcase.

For those who don’t know Milano Criminale is a comic series about the Milan 70s criminal underworld. Bell-bottom trousers, mustaches, hot pursuit with glorious italian cars.
If you want to delve into the series take a tour on Diegozilla, the blog of Diego Cajelli, author of the series.

The limited edition slipcase “Milano Criminale – La città esige vendetta” contains three books of the last series and a fine art print signed by the authors.

Available at the bastard store.

Milano City Ink – Against Claustrophobia

by davidelp 26 October 2011

We met the tattoo artists from Milano City Ink about a year ago to realize a t-shirt line called Against Claustrophobia with them.

The whole claustrophobia concept stems from the proximity of their studio with the S. Vittore penitentiary compound, hard to ignore with its oppressive presence in the center of Milano.
The claustrophobia of captivity may recall the confinement of ink trapped under the skin, or an idea trapped in the mind that needs an artist to be freed.

Thus resulting in 3 graphics by Luca Natalini, Amanda Toy and Koji Yamaguchi who, for once, chose cotton instead of skin as their canvas.

Cubist dolls with naif references for the Amanda Toy artwork.

Koji Yamaguchi‘s artwork is a controversial cartoon with green rats held prisoners in a purple brain.

Luca Natalini interpretes the subjet of the collection with a suffering hearth trapped in his rib cage.

Salad Days Magazine decided to elaborate this collaboration with an interview to Matteo, who provided for design, and Attilio, who coordinated the artists’ work. You will find it on Salad Days Magazine 8, July issue.

by davidelp 26 October 2011

The 2011 edition of Positivity camp takes off tomorrow. The Positivity Camp is a non-profit snowboard camp located in the most exclusive resort in the Alps; it takes a good couple of hours of mountain path walking to reach it. But when you reach the camp you’ll be alone in a breathtaking location, Val Formazza, with a private skilift and a snowpark that gets shaped everyday.
