There is a saying in Italian that translated would be something like ‘Who sleeps doesn’t catch fishes…’
meaning something similar to the English one ‘The Early Bird gets the worm’.
April and spring in general have always been for me that season of the year when I would rather spend hours in bed sleeping then going out. Not too warm, not too cold, drowsy, sleepy and dozy but life has changed a lot from when I was a university student and I could afford a little nap in the afternoon or a late wake up. The hours I spend in bed are every day less and to keep drawing I’m waking up early every morning. It’s a healthy exercise, like footing for those who like running or eating fruit. In the last few months I’ve been really productive and I’ve embarked myself on several new projects. Today I’ll tell you about one in which I was dragged in by my good friend Mike at People In A Position To Know. To draw a set of sleeves for the forthcoming S.M. Wolf LP. For those who don’t know them, S.M. Wolf is the creature of Adam Gross from Indianapolis, IN, former front man for group Amo Joy and it’s a fuzzy, psychedelic, power pop band. S.M. Wolf new album is titled ”Bad Ocean” and it’s a voyage into that dark place within a person that they try to keep at bay. So I’m waking up early every morning to draw/catch creatures from the bottom of the sea that are wearing winter clothes. This is going to be an edition of 50 copies (25 that will be available through my website and 25 that will go to Mike and will be available through People In A Position To Know). It’s a customizable project, when ordering, please don’t hesitate to request a portrait of your favourite sea creature or to post the picture of your favourite sweater.
