Description ENGLISH:


The title explains most of it. Just a sketch on my sketchbook, representing my humble self in my usual working/gaming/drawing post. Random sketches and doodles are my main drawing related activity, that I do every day, mainly with no reason or purpose, just to pass my time. I liked and improved a little bit this one, so I decided to share. If "time is blood", as general Chuikov stated, I should be dead for blood loss long ago. 

On laptop screen, "Kelly's Heroes", with Eastwood, Sutherland and Savalas; all around, several books which I generally leave on the floor just in case I need to find them fast; my cat Ulisse in the background and the other cat, Margot, on my legs.


Soon enough, I'll figure out how to represent another impressive part of the siege of Breda. Stay tuned and happy new year, shouldn't I post it in 2013.


ITALIANO:


Il titolo spiega più o meno tutto. Uno schizzo su un blocco, rappresentante la mia umile persona nella tipica postazione di lavoro/gioco/disegno. Scarabocchi e schizzi vari, spesso privi di finalità o ragioni, ma giusto per passare il tempo, sono in realtà la mia principale attività inerente il disegno. Se è vera la massima del generale Chuikov, "il tempo è sange", sarei morto dissanguato già da un pezzo. 

Sullo schermo del portatile, "I guerrieri", con Eastwood, Sutherland e Savalas; tutto intorno, vari libri, che in genere tengo per terra (per trovarli più rapidamente); il mio gatto Ulisse sullo sfondo e, sulle mie gambe, l'altra gatta, Margot.


Presto mi verrà in mente come rappresentare un'altra impressionante parte dell'assedio di Breda. Nel frattempo, vi auguro un buon anno nuovo, nel caso non riuscissi a postarla nel 2013.

I just noticed "The Baltic Crusade" and "Stalingrad" lying on the floor, books I've read myself too.

And Osprey's Lützen 1632, one of my favorites!


Excellent taste in books sir.

Ahah, thank you! 

Actually, I'm reading Beevor's Stalingrad in this period, great book!

William Urban is antoher great author and, about Lützen, it's one, if not my absolute, favourite Osprey! 

Brzezinski has done a really wonderful job, as he did for Gustavus Adolphus' and Polish Armies of the period. 

It would be cool to see, at least, an Osprey book on Breitenfeld or on the whole GA campaign in Germany by the same author, since those two seems to be the only events of the Thirty Years' War Osprey can publish about

If it weren't for the Fritz I'd wonder if you'd sneakily drawn me in my natural environment. With uh, perhaps more cats, too.

Ahah, glad I'm not the only one living in such a messy environment, then

Mi ricorda camera mia... anch'io tengo libri e altre robe "di pronto impiego" per terra, e nel mio casino riesco comunque a trovare più o meno subito tutto

Esatto! In realtà mi piacerebbe riuscire a essere più ordinato, ma me la cavo ugualmente così bene che ogni tentativo fallisce!
