Why do I keep on drawing comics
Some time ago (actually some months ago) I read a post by a friend of mine, Ryan, which made me think a lot about what I do and why I do it. Not that I wasn’t thinking about it before… but somehow I never thought about writing it down, for myself, and maybe for people like you reading this, and thinking the same as I thought when I read Ryan’s post.
so why do I keep on drawing and writing comics? Despite not getting paid sometimes, despite few people caring about it, despite the feeling of uselessness…
I keep doing it because I have to, there’s this voice in my head telling me to do it
I like to invent other people’s lives, people who do not exist until I draw them.
I like to think that somehow people might find things I tell them useful, interesting or entertaining.
I like to spend long hours immersed in my world, in my thoughts.
I like to see things take shape on paper.
Creativity is a mutant creature living in your head, and I need to feed it from time to time.
Some people say the world is already full of sorrow and pain, artists should not be there to remind us of it… but then, on the other hand, as long as we’re able to laugh about it, it means we’re still human.
It’s the mr.Wiggles way of thinking, if you know what I mean.
And if you don’t… here’s something to help you get the idea (you might have to click it to see it better):

Uzimak! is a place about sketching, casual creativity, rambling talk, mutations of the though, deviations of the subconsciousness and spare time philosophy. It's also a place where Hannes Pasqualini (see picture above) talks about his passion: visual narrative for the goodbehaviourally impaired.
Per chi volesse saperene di più sui misteriosi lavori di Hannes, ho scritto un post proprio su questo sul mio blog dove spiego tutto, e molto altro…

Si si, ma io n on so cosa scrivere… tu non sei veramente misterioso e molto più equilibrato di me… oddio, ora dico le bugie anche io!
