Writing a post as complex as this one in my mind about Zombierella's book project with help by more than 50 international artists that created masterpieces based on my friend and excellent musician/character/21st century woman named Svetlana (or to whom sometimes I simply call Zombie) makes me also wonder about another book anthology that I'm trying to edit and publish at Fantagraphics
named "lost in a nordic dream" with help by Swedish artists Knut Larsson, Max Andersson, Clara Bessijelle Johansson, Nicolas Krizan, Lars Erik Sjunesson, Danish Artist Henrik Kim Rehr, Finnish Artist Terhi Ekebom, Norwegian artist Lars Fiske and Polish artist Bartosz Jekiel with a simple theme named "life and death" that links all short stories by these excellent artists mentioned above.
I dwell in my heart and soul between work and my own life, because I love to put a bit of who I am in my work with help by international artists, my family, my memories, pets or women.

An awesome artwork based on a 20st century woman by American artist George Pratt that was published in April 2016 at Italian Playboy magazine without this artist being paid for his published work and with a curious title in Italian that in english language means "men that love women" for this article with the previous mentioned illustration.

When I'm involved in some book projects with help by international artists, I do try to search for inspiration on music, movies or TV series like HBO's Westworld one that deals with the complexity of ourselves as human beings and the choices that we've to make.
The second season that ended last Sunday contained thoughts, ideas, references to life and even to the holy bible by gathering and linking its plot with what's real and what's inagination in this virtual world that we live on in the 21st century, so I've thought on sharing on this post some randoms sentences that pop in this TV series without trying to spoil its clear message to readers of this post that haven't watched it yet, while trying to do some sort of narrative in my mind for the projects that I'm involved in right now.

Many thanks to all artists that support some of my ideas with their artworks and also some of their own ideas.
Special thanks to Svetlana Zombierella Nagaeva who's an excellent character/21st century woman and to my family
