No, it’s not a Tuesday in which we troll people: it’s just the natural second day of preparation for Carnival, after a generic Marionette Monday. Today I’ll try and bring you artists who worked on Troll marionettes, hand/finger puppets and masks, for your indoor street theatre. Belgian Masks and Hand Puppets At Theater Didymus, the […]
In preparation for the Carnival, I’m doing a Marionette Monday: this means that today I’m bringing you independent artist who produces marionettes and I’ll also try and give you one or more stories you can try and stage with them. One of Eyvind Earl’s incredible concepts for Sleeping Beauty. The Queen, Carabosse and the Golden […]
A few weeks ago, I talked about Arthur Rackham, one of my favourite illustrators, and his works. One of his works was illustrations for an obscure collection of weird tales, called The Ingoldsby Legends, and they caught your attention. I already brought you one of the tales: today, I bring you another: “The Lay of […]

I poured some works he illustrated in this post, but some of the stuff deserves more attention. The Ingoldsby Legends, or Mirth […]
La “pillola” di questa settimana è dedicata ai sistemi di classificazione che, come sapete, sono una mia fissazione. Ne ho già parlato qui, quando su richiesta ho pubblicato le mie slide di spiegazione della ISO 12006 con un parco dei divertimenti, qui quando ho pubblicato le mie vecchie lezioni nella (vana) speranza che gente senza […]
I have had the occasion of bringing you some stories, recently, that came from my love for legends and myths, sure, but mostly from my love for the Danish artist and illustrator Kay Nielsen. He was an absolute genius and I started talking about him here. Kay Nielsen isn’t the only artist I love to […]
Mercoledì scorso vi ho presentato il framework finlandese per il rilievo, all’interno del quale figurava anche il concetto di LOA – Level of Accuracy (Livello di Accuratezza). Oggi estraggo un’altra pillola da una vecchia lezione, per ricordare che il framework più completo per la specifica di un rilievo e della sua restituzione in BIM – […]
