Cuba. My Revolution | One more story

Cover of the book

Cuba. My Revolution by Iverna Lockpez and Dean Haspiel

Any country that has experienced a revolution, and/or a dictatorial regime has plenty of stories to count. All kind of stories, some old, some new… sometimes just the names are different. This one’s like that, a graphic documentary about the Revolution in Cuba and the Castro administration immediately to their victory.

The young woman protagonist is an artist, doctor soldier and also prisoner, all for the same reason; she  will cry for his country, because she loves Cuba, their people, and even the revolution, but she soon finds out is too naive to see the whole picture. And as we know, there’s no war without victims, without pain, and without reality slapping you in the face; and Cuban revolution quickly showed true Cuban believers what and how it was going to work.

Batman The Dark Knight Returns Part 1 | Review

One of best comics ever, about one of best characters ever. There’s no much left to be said about the novel (and still, it will be said) but now we have something else to talk about.

The cover of DVD 1

Divided as the book in two parts, this one conquers the first obstacle, and a tuff one: the voices. Yes, you might think you have Batman voice all figured out, but how about the Mutant Leader, or Robin? But they did a good casting, not putting too much risk on it to be honest, but still they do it well. Sigue leyendo

Obama and President Cristina Kirchner hot scene video

The video Un mensaje más (One more message) by the rock band The Rockadictos, with the art of Ramiro Lopez shows the Argentinian president Cristina Kirchner in a very intimate scene in his presidential office (The Pink House), touching herself while a big riot happens outside and in front of president Obama, till she comes (or seems to).

Scene from the video

The animation is outstanding, really good. Awesome timing and rhythm. Simple technique and remarkable expressionism, fur sure the sketches are single pieces of art. The music, a complete well achieved song, has that rusty flavor of an non-produced nor signed band, but I said that as a compliment.

A video that evidently is generating noise all around, and for sure will do some more, but it must, because it’s a very simple but brave script, worth to go further.

History of @ symbol

The origin of the symbol itself, one of the most graceful characters on the keyboard, is something of a mystery. One theory is that medieval monks, looking for shortcuts while copying manuscripts, converted the Latin word for “toward”—ad—to “a” with the back part of the “d” as a tail. Or it came from the French word for “at”—à—and scribes, striving for efficiency, swept the nib of the pen around the top and side. Or the symbol evolved from an abbreviation of “each at”—the “a” being encased by an “e.” The first documented use was in 1536, in a letter by Francesco Lapi, a Florentine merchant, who used @ to denote units of wine called amphorae, which were shipped in large clay jars.

Kids love/hate monsters and monsters apparently love/hate kids, it depends. but they have a close relationship no doubt, and artist David Devries has come up with a concept that brings children’s imaginations to life, The Monster Engine and will be showed at Toonseum on October 27th.

The Monster Engine takes drawings that children have created and turns them into realistic monster masterpieces by carefully recreating them with paint, airbrush and pencil.

Enjoy these examples, visit the official gallery, and of course, buy the Book.
