X as multiplication

At primary school I was strong in mathematics.
Later, I progressively lost interest for scientifical topics and focused on humanities.

Of course, the teachers at secondary level were not very inspiring, but it is also true that I found difficult (and still do) understanding formulas and abstract theories.

Actually, the same apply for philosophical or artistic theories.  I tend to shy away from more complex reasoning; not sure if that is because of laziness or structural limits.

Also, I am not particularly ambitious.

I wondered sometimes where I would be if I had pursued one determined purpose with everything I had got.

Probably, in the same place.

V as Vegetarian

The vegetarian T-shirts are my last invention.
Actually the last to be produced because the idea is a very old one.
I finally went for them as my two goddaughters became both vegetarian.
This gave me the occasion to discover a completely different version of my drawings that shocked me at first but eventually won me over.
Bernie, who produces the shirts for me, took some of the drawings and transformed them with a software in order to make them more fit for printing.
The result is sometimes better than the original.
Below few examples.

Another collapsed bridge

There is no image showing more effectively how this movement repudiated its founding principles.
A 5stars minister going to the tv. To the emblematic PortaAPorta programme. Behind a scale model of the future new bridge in Genova.
The homogenisation is now completed. They have become the same.
It was fast and it was sad. We did not have many hopes but did not expect the process to be so swift and smooth. Very little internal opposition. No protest.
“One counts one” “Critical debates in streaming” “Far from the show of politics“, everything betrayed in the most radical manner. Even the transfer of part of the salary and benefits disappeared, while staff is recruited in the classical way, no public vacancies publication but ‘tell to a friend’ old system.
Homo homini lupus.
