...That's amore! Ever since studying in Florence for a semester during college (and probably even before that) I've had a love affair with Italy. The art! The food! The vino!
I'm very lucky to have the opportunity to once again pay a visit to my delicious muse of a nation when I have an exhibition of Daily Zoo art at the historical Palazzo Ducale this fall as part of the annual Lucca Comics and Games convention. Lucca is a small, medieval-walled city in beautiful Tuscany.The show will run from October 20 - November 4 and I've been invited to be a guest artist at the convention which runs November 1-4. Here's a link to the announcement of the show and a small preview (warning: it's in Italian!).
The final selection of pieces to be included in the exhibition is still being determined. In addition to some images from the already-published Daily Zoo books, it is going to include many never-before-seen original DZ drawings and paintings. I've included a few preview images here to whet your appetite (or in case you can't hop a plane, train, or Vespa to Lucca this fall). Enjoy!
After my time in Lucca, I head to Zug, Switzerland to lead two days of art workshops with students there. I shall have to practice up on my yodeling...

the elephant is priceless XD
will we ever see more "The Daily Zoo - year X"-books?
I recently got "The Daily Zoo goes to Paris" but it still just feels like an appetizer for the 'year'-books
Thanks, Criz. Yes, the Daily Zoo Goes to Paris was intended to tide folks over until I could get the next full volume done. Right now, I'm hoping DZ Year 3 will be published late next spring. Stay tuned! Thanks for your support!
That's great news, that you're going to be in Italy again :) Such a pity I can't be there and meet you agian, still a big fan of your works! Have a nice stay in Lucca
Thanks, Fainder - sorry you won't be able to make it this year!
incredible animal design!
Thanks, Nicholas!
