No grays. Just the pure black and white. DROP 2 - Exposition Graphique Urbaine For the second time I've been invited to be part of DROP 2, a urban culture exhibition in Lausanne, Switzerland. Again I decided to work in an old piece and this time I've chosen 2006's OSSO ROSSO, now reincarnated as OSSO NERO. As requested by the curators, all artwork must be created in black and white, no colors nor grayscales, so I had to do a little trick to achieve the difference between the black background and the red bones over it, as in the original.

After careful analysis, the titles with the best quality are selected to form the FNLIJ Basic Books Collection, helping not only schools, libraries and Secretaries of Education to create their own initial collections but also parents and teachers to choose books for their children and students. From this basic collection, ten books from each of the several categories are selected and receive the Highly Commended Seal, automatically being nominated for the FNLIJ Awards. The seal in one of the highest recognitions to be earned in the Brazilian children and young adults' literature. And it is with great happiness and honor that I announce that the book Demônios, published by Escrita Fina and illustrated by me, received this year the FNLIJ 2012 Highly Commended Seal, in the Young Adults Category. To be part of this great achievement is very gratifying and I must thank one person that today is very special to me, book editor Laura van Boeckel. Considered to be one of the first national science fiction stories, Demônios, written by Brazilian novelist Aluízio de Azevedo, was first published in 1895, taking the Brazilian Literature and readers to the realms of fantastic horror genre. Meanwhile in distant northern lands, H.P. Lovecraft, today considered to be one of the greatest author of this genre, had only 5 years old and Cthulhu was yet to be summoned... * Created in 1968, the FNLIJ - Fundação Nacional do Livro Infantil e Juvenil - is a private and non-profit organization and the Brazilian section of IBBY - International Board on Books for Young People, and the FNLIJ Award, organized since 1974, is the highest distinction given to the best books for children and young people published in Brazil, incorporating today 18 categories. 26.04.2012 |  tags: Escrita Fina, FNLIJ, FNLIJ Highly Commended Seal Exposed April Exhibitions in Sao Paulo and Bogota This month I've been invited to be part of a couple of exhibitions in Sao Paulo and in Bogota.
