Thou lonesome one

Here is a fragment from Thus spoke Zarathustra by Friedrich Nietzsche that I really like.
I wanted to give rise to the first word of the text, thus I drew it from a typography and made it half embossed, half engraved on metal.

The remaining part of the text is calligraphied with a fraktur, I felt it was the accurate script for it.

As usual, to see the whole work, have a look to the gallery.

The Flies - final version

I've just finished with my version of the text from The Flies by Jean-Paul Sartre.

You can see the whole work by clicking here.

As it is quite long, one cannot really see anything on this pic, that's why I took close-ups :

The Flies

A long time ago, I did a draft using bits of the text The Flies by Jean-Paul Sartre.
I eventually find the energy to get back to it, here are a few pics of the work in progress.

Engraving on slate

Here it is, the quality of the pictures is poor but I can tell you the result is worth it.

To have a look to the whole work, follow the link to the gallery.

Ogni danno lascia dispiacere nella ricordazione

Engraving on slate of a sentence by Leonardo Da Vinci.

Still to add the finishing touches, soon a pic of the whole work.

On the wall - 4

Back to black to add this time a fragment of De Tranquillitate Animi by Lucius Annaeus Seneca.

For this new addition, I used a visigothic script with a larger brush.

subproduct

A picture of the paper which was under my lastest work on zinc while I washed up the varnish.

It makes a beautiful abstract work, residue of zinc oxide and varnish on paper.
