Writing about a simple woman as Svetlana Nagaeva that's clearly a XXIst century woman with a complex character named Zombierella makes me wonder about some things inside people hearts, souls and memories.
I clearly know that's difficult to explain why an idea based on simple collages of Svetlana's pics by me with her permission gave me ideas of conceiving a book about her that I'm writing with help by more than 40 international artists from several countries like it's mentioned in lists with international artists names in this same blogue in previous posts.
I've tried to use in this narrative some images of books, movies or songs that I've read, watched or listened in order to try to sync it all in this sort of narrative.
I also know that I've made an interview to Svetlana in this same blogue in a previous post and that she told me about her influences in arts.
Below are some random thoughts by myself in a jigsaw narrative within my mind.
 |
| British writer Grant Morrison's masterpiece Invisibles issue 5 covers with design by British artist Rian Hughes and Morrison's words "All we want is everything"... "You are now leaving the twentieth century" and an Hellblazer random sketch of this character by British artist Sean Phillips and signed by British writer Jamie Delano with these words in it "you're never alone in the 21st century" |
Zombierella reminded me that I've left the 20st century 18 years ago, that all that everybody wants right now is everything served in a plate without any work and that we aren't alone in the XXI century.

| Zombierella as seen by Australian artist Tim Grace and a dialogue that I love from Peaky blinders Tv series |
I also know that signatures or identity, lost "friends" or partners makes us wonder who we're, like in the dialogue below.
Peaky blinders Tv Series dialogue:
May Carleton:You... Have lost your wife, and now your brother too. I thought it would make you different, but it doesn't change you.
Tommy: So is this why you came here? For my fucking signature?

| Zombierella as seen by Australian artist Tim Grace and a poster from 8 and an half movie by Italian director Federico Fellini
Trying to write about Svetlana or Zombierella is like being lost in Fellini's masterpiece movie " 8 and an half".
|
 |
| Tommy and Grace from Tv Series - Peaky Blinders
I clearly know that myself or Svetlana don't share the same love that Tommy and Grace do at Peaky Blinders Tv series
|
 |
| Tommy from Tv Series - Peaky Blinders with a quote by him that I love I also know that I rarely answer questions. |
 |
| Tommy and Alfie from Tv Series - Peaky Blinders
I'm pretty sure that I'm not the wanderer jew that Alfie Solomons character interpreted by British actor Tom Hardy describes in
Peaky Blinders Tv series
|
 |
| Hellblazer issue 40 by British writer Jamie Delano and British artist Dave Mckean
Written words in Hellblazer 40:
"The first is who you are
The second's in between.
And the third is who you want to be."
I'm also aware that I'm a simple guy that was born in the prettiest city in the world and that I do try to deal with my inner demons and guiding angels. |

| Two strips by Hellblazer comic book character created by British writer Alan Moore in British writer Paul Jenkins and artists Sean Phillips run Hellblazer monologue written by Paul Jenkins in Hellblazer 119
"What you saw outside today.. Arch an' Chloe an' all that... What are you supposed to make of that, eh?
I mean, my world's all about magic an' lies an' old mates .. Who's to say any of it's real?
Or me, for that matter. Am I simply this... Black lines on white paper, an iconic representation of an idea?
Or am I as real as you are?
Maybe the real question isn't what is real and what's a lie? Maybe it's "what is reality?"
Hellblazer monologue written by Paul Jenkins in Hellblazer 120
"Look, I realize it's a bit naff feeling sorry for yourself after a few pints, but it's this place, innit?
Sometimes I feel like I live here.
You seem him over there? old mate of mine... From before I was even a player. Introduced me to a lot of people, he did. Back when I was nobody.
But him, he was full of clever bloody ideas got me involved in a lot of mad shit... Next thing I know. I'm in knee deep with the soddy cabbage club. My life's been a bloody mess ever since.
Ah well... Those were the days. eh? we've dropped out of touch a bit since then. I mean we run into each other from time to time. like.nothing much of cosequence. Still... you know... Cheers man."
I truly believe in what's real and what's illusion (or magic) and I'm always real fond of my memories while trying to do my work in a professional way.

| The bow movie by Korean director Kim Ki Duk and a picture of Actor Kyle Maclachlan in David Lynch's Twin Peaks: The Return Season 3
I also know that it didn't took me 25 years to gather a project with help by international artists from several countries communicating in different languages based on Zombierella as a character but only since March 2018 without any shadows in monochromatic as can be listened in Chromatics
musical band song below with its lyrics and that was part of David Lynch's Tv series Twin Peaks : The Return in 21st May 2017 Shadow, take me down Shadow, take me down with you For the last time For the last time For the last time For the last time You're in the water I'm standing on the shore Still thinking that I hear your voice Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Can you hear me? For the last time For the last time For the last time For the last time At night I'm driving in your car Pretending that we'll leave this town We're watching all the street lights fade And now you're just a stranger's dream I took your picture from the frame And now you're nothing like you seem Your shadow fell like last night's rain For the last time For the last time For the last time For the last time |
I know that Zombierella name starts with a "Z", so is she a brand, a mark or a simple woman. |

| American director David Lynch with a quote that I love, Finnish artist Terhi Ekebom who I admire and a tribute to Zombierella by American artist Erik von Erik Quote by American director David Lynch: "Ideas are like fish, if you want to catch a little fish, you can stay in the shallow water. but if you want to catch the big fish, you've got to go deeper." I'm sure that I love talented, ethical and simple women or men in arts or life, nature and common simple fishes while being aware of metaphors that American director David Lynch uses in his movies or used in Twin Peaks TV Series Season one and two in the 90's when I was a teenager, and in 2017, being myself 44 years old, because a mystery is always a mystery, even if it's a simple one that evolves with a 25 years passage and that drops characters or masks and gives us the clear notion of pure good and evil in men's hearts. Quote by American director David Lynch: "Ideas are like fish, if you want to catch a little fish, you can stay in the shallow water. but if you want to catch the big fish, you've got to go deeper." Double Dare In the flat field A god in an alcove In fear of fear Hollow hills Kick in the eye Silent hedges Severance Boys She's in parties King volcano Riders on the storm The passion of lovers Dark entries Telegram Sam Ziggy Stardust All we ever wanted was everything The passenger Spirit Bela Lugosi's dead Third uncle
I've also organized book collections for Gary Groth and his son while advicing the best book editions for Fantagraphics, to buy and create Fantagraphics their own digital files and collection by Alberto Breccia, either the book collections or the interviews that I made were simply ignored by an American publisher (maybe because of greed or financial interests). I also know that I've curated exhibitions with several international artists only with my heart, soul and mind with simple themes and narratives in them such as "cats as pets", a strong word that's "identity", another one that's "permanent", "music and musicians" at Porto, also another one based on a simple concept such as "life or death" in France while developping another one with a musician/woman/character named Zombierella and all this information is mentioned in previous posts in this same blogue or in hundreds of emails that I've sent to Fantagraphics President Gary Groth that wasn't interested in these collections by some of the best artists ever and also lists of international artists with exhibitions promoting Fantagraphics books, for free end even posters for them created by the best artists that I was working with at the time when they were exhibited. I clearly remember having a nice personal chat eye to eye with Bauhaus singer Peter Murphy in Porto about comic books, books, movies, TV series and arts in 1996 and that he loved the knowledge that I had in books or comic books at the time.
"White on white translucent black capes
Back on the rack
Bela Lugosi's dead
The bats have left the bell tower
The victims have been bled
Red velvet lines the black box
Bela Lugosi's dead
Undead undead undead
The virginal brides file past his tomb
Strewn with time's dead flowers
Bereft in deathly bloom
Alone in a darkened room
The count
Bela Lugosi's dead
Undead undead undead"
Many thanks to all international artists who are with me in this project and several others that I've developped or that I'm developping.
Special thanks to Musician XXI century woman and my friend Svetlana that believes in this project.
