Cine de ilustradores: Illustrators - A Documentary

Remembering Moebius

“I have no explanation but I am interested in being alive. No, seriously, staying alive for an artist means to always be in an unknown part of himself. To be out of himself. The exhibition in Paris, the theme was transformation. Art is the big door but real life is a lot of small doors that you must pass through to create something new. You don’t always need to go far. If you are in the space station Mir and you need to fix something, you go outside, but not too far. If you travel too far you’ll die. Outer space is not human but you can visit. You need to be a little bit out there but you need to stay close to human.”

Starwatcher
 I almost did the first computer-animated feature after that, it was called ‘Star Watcher,’ we had the story, we had the preparation done, we were ready to start. But it came apart; the company did not give us the approval. It was too far, the concept to do everything in computer animation. We were waiting, waiting, and then our producer died in a car accident. Everything collapsed. That was my third contribution to animation and my worst experience.”

Moebius & Sylvain

Hayao Miyazaki

"One day I'll bring to life
My wandering star
And I'll stray from known routes
Through forgotten paths
My sky will be open
My spirit liberated
I'll give to the world
The footprints of my steps
I'll eat the flowers
And drink the light
Fear no more
I'll be nothing but love
The shores of my life
Move away and draw closer
Becoming stars
That shine in the night"

Cameron: Songs for the Witch Woman

Cuando me vine a Los Ángeles me llamó la atención un cartel que veía por todos lados, la imagen era muy potente, de una mujer de mirada penetrante y melena peliroja sujetando un huevo negro. No se me iba de la cabeza y no paraba de verla colgada en cada farola. Era un anuncio de la exposicion  Cameron: Songs for the Witch Woman en el MOCA, The Museum of Contemporary Art.

Los quehaceres de la vida cotidiana y el tiempo hicieron pasar la fecha de la expo, con la retirada de carteles incluida. Olvidé a esa misteriosa mujer y la vida siguió. Hasta que el otro día ojeando la libreria de mi talentosa amiga Claire, me topé con el libro editado de la muestra editado por el museo.

Studio-Takeuma de cuadernismo por Madrid

Cuando veo dibujos hechos con lapices de colores no puedo dejar de recordarme en el colegio. Y los dibujos que hace StudioTakeuma, con lapices de colores, siempre me han parecido que desprenden una energia infantil, no kitsch, sino como el que ve las cosas por primera vez.

Desconozco las razones que le han llevado por esos lares, pero las coloridas lineas en sus cuadernos demuestran que ha disfrutado dibujando por Madrid.

Bruce Lee sketcher

"The world knows Bruce Lee the martial artist and movie actor. Few however, have seen his drawings and his artistic talent. In the early 90’s Linda Lee compiled an exhibition of some of his sketches. It is my understanding that the original sketches were purchased by a Japanese collector and have not been in the public since then."

Sophia Green, painting with cement

Estudio al aire libre de Sophia

El otro día conocí a Sophia. Ella pinta sobre tablas de madera preparadas. Pero no usa pintura en sus cuadros, sino cemento. Me pareció un proceso muy bello y quedamos para hacer un video. Este fue el resultado.

People I meet

El otro día conocía Sarah, una chica de Ohio muy maja, con la que me reí un rato y nos tomamos alguna birra. Me dijo que es de Akron, un pueblecito de donde son muchímas bandas y músicos famosos. Le sorprendía que tuviesemos cafeterias starbuck en Madrid!
