The Diary of a Teenage Girl

Another comics inspired film. Thanks Tom Spurgeon for calling my attention to this.

Sociedade Portuguesa de Autores

Foram entregues, há uma semana atrás, os prémios da Sociedade Portuguesa de Autores. Num ano em que Marco Mendes publicou o seu Diário Rasgado, Carlos Pinheiro e Nuno Sousa publicaram Sobrevida (as minhas desculpas a outras possíveis escolhas), a banda desenhada foi olimpicamente ignorada nos ditos. Concluindo: para a SPA os autores de banda desenhada não são autores.

Stolen Art / Arte Roubada

Someone at the Portuguese customs or postal service stole the original art for these two Ray Bailey / Milton Caniff pages (# 13, 14 of Strictly for the Smart Birds, 1951). If you bump into them anywhere, please let me know! Thanks!

Alguém da alfândega ou dos CTT roubou-me a arte original destas duas páginas de Ray Bailey / Milton Caniff (# 13, 14 de Strictly for the Smart Birds, 1951). Se as virem por aí agradeceria muito que me avisassem. Obrigado!

Oslo Comics Expo

I was invited by the Oslo Comics Expo to participate in a seminar about modern aesthetics in comics. I had a great time! Thanks Håvard S. Johansen, thanks Erle Marie Sørheim! I loved meeting everyone there (and I mean also those who aren't mentioned on this post, of course)! It was great to meet Matthias Wivel, Paul Gravett, Fredrik Strömberg, Joost Swarte, Ulli Lust and the Drawn & Quarterly people: Tom Devlin, Seth, Chris Ware, Jillian Tamaki, Pascal Girard, Marc Bell. I hope to meet you all again soon...
