the eternal return

despite the warnings from israel against the circulation beyond the litani river, thousands of cars overloaded with people and luggages took the road toward their villages' ruins today, starting 8 am.
the stubborness of the lebanese people will remain for ever a rejoicing mystery to me.

why?

real real news

14th of august

they are saying that today, at 8 am, the war ended.

and i said that when the war will end i'll stop drawing for a while. i'll rest.

and there is a girl with very beautiful eyes in the torino.

and there is a smell of life in beirut. only a smell.

very beautiful. more than what i can draw.

i don't know why i feel that i'll have to still draw for a long long time before i rest.

a colorful poster for the streets of your city

dear all,
a lot of people are asking if they can print the poster with the war games (let's play).
please do. it is available in large format to download (click on it then enlarge it on flicker).
by the way, i repeat here for those who didn't look at all the archives:

you can use the drawings/music on my blog for any non-commercial printing (posters, flyers, emails, etc.) or airing (for the music) to help promoting the blog and thus to help the lebanese cause.
please do use the screen resolution for printing.
please do use them with NO editing/croping/mixing or anything else.
please do put my name AND the address of the blog next to it.

for those interested also, you can find ready to print and stick on your neighborhood walls A4 drawings on the link of my friend paul keller from amsterdam.

fernando's word

"who will ever save me from existing?"

"when he was writing this sentence, pessoa surely knew that it was precisely the fact of writing this sentence that was saving him."

"you bet on it."
