I decided to go to the Edison bookstore and ended up falling in love with children's books illustrator Lisbeth Zwerger's work. One thing that caught my eye was how she found subtle ways of alluding to animal forms within the costume of the characters. So, I began to search for hidden animals in Florence and her outskirts. Aside from that, I purchased a little mole/gnome whom I hope to get Amelie- esque with (i.e. photograph in random but touristy places, bringing attention to the miniscule world of wonders around us). Further, I wandered into Alice Atelier, a mask shop on Via Faenza and after drawing one of the bunny masks in the store, the owner invited me to sit down with him for the day and draw on an actual mask. This is the kind of exercise they should give us in an art school= super tough to do. However, it might become something of a weekly thing....At least my visits to this incredible 'negozio' will become more frequent. I made an Italian artist friend! SOMETHING UNEXPECTED CATEGORY I also made a trip to the cemetery here vicino Piazza Michelangelo and the subtle faces on tombstones there were deemed worthy of documenting. Many lovelies here....
