Am I in a Kusama installation? Went to look for signs of wild boars in Bologna’s Parco Ghigi and got distracted. That’s what nature does for us, in a good way. . . . . . #yayoikusama #kusama #yayoi #yayoikusamaexhibition #redmonde #cartoon #character #artisttoy #multiples #bologna #italy #emiliaromagna #parco #ghigi #slackline #slacklife #treeclimbing #freeclimbing #red #berries #birdfood #landart #fiberart #fibersculpture #installationart #nature

It is actually the lunar year of the boar, two artists taught me with this gift, their first collaboration after meeting 40 years ago at Bologna’s Accademia di Belle Arti. The background is Japanese for wild boar, painted by artist Tatsunori Kano, and the boar is cut paper by Clementina Mingozzi. Clementina has studied world traditions in cut-outs and silhouettes for over 30 years, initially learning Japanese techniques, and expanding to live museum performances with chairs created to draw silhouette portraits. She has published books about her research and is both an artist and illustrator of papyrography and cut-paper. Thank you Tasunori and Clementina for your friendship and knowledge. Happy Lunar Year of the Boar! . . . . #tatsunorikano #clementinamingozzi #yearoftheboar #yearofthepig #cutpaper #cutpaperart #silhouette #silhouetteart #silhouetteartist #cutout #cutoutart #redmonde #pig #boar #angelalorenz #artonpaper #fiberart #fibersculpture

Boar hole! Resourceful wild boars dig holes in the park looking for tasty things, like truffles...Watch your step though, seriously. The lunar year of the wild boar symbolizes their ability to resist and protect themselves, but they are determined to dig big holes! . . . . #yearoftheboar #yearofthepig #wildboar #dig #holes #boarhole #bologna #italy #collibolognesi #hillpark #parco #ghigi #walking #redmonde #cartooncharacter #angelalorenz #artinnature #installationart #landart #artistsbooks #gooutside

Homemade cyanotypes! My creator finally took me out of the house, a few hundred yards to the indie comics/small press fair in Bologna called Fruit. Pica from Milan made cyanotypes before our eyes, on their exhibitors’ table, with a plastic spoon and indoor lighting! So great to meet makers at indie fairs. Lots of sharing of knowledge and mutual support and goodwill. . . . . @pica_mi #fruit @fruitexhibition #cyanotype #diy #diyphotography #indiepublishing #indiecomics #photography #printing #printmakingart #redmonde #fabricsculpture #textileart #artisttoy #stopmotion #animation #angelalorenz #limitededition #multiples #angelonium

Congratulations Taneka Stotts on an Eisner for your anthology Elements:Fire. Indie comic and small press fairs also feature successful content bridging the indie and the broader world. I hope my creator takes me to more fairs this year even if she is too busy making stuff to participate. FYI the indie comic world mostly inhabits Twitter. Oh well. My creator is barely able to use one social media platform... . . . #tanekastotts #eisneraward #smallpressexpo #bethesda #indiecomic #smallpress #redmonde #limitededition #sculpture #toy #module #angelalorenz #artist @tanekastotts @spxcomics

Indie comics are strange but refreshing and unfiltered. Small Press Expo in Bethesda in September is huge compared to Bologna’s Fruit fair in February, but both have DIY makers with original art and merch made by hand, often sold for pennies or gifted to the public. These fairs are a wonderful antidote to the commercial world, and friendly venues to find a cohort. . . . . #smallpress #smallpressexpo #bethesda #fruit #bologna #indie #comics #indiecomics #germs #cartoon #character #r.edmonde #angelalorenz #visualartist #italy #makers #diy #editions @spxcomics @fruitexhibition

Need more good news, an allegra storia, like in this painting now living at Bowdoin College Museum of Art? When it seems positive news is temporarily out of stock, and you can’t find solace, keep looking! . . . . . #outofstock #goodnews #allegra #storia #birch #bark #ancientegypt #fairytale #poems #antique #ephemera #antiquebooks #watercolorpainting #graphicnovel #angelalorenz #contemporaryart #redmonde #cartoon #character #artisttoy #bcma #bowdoincollege

Ever feel invisible? Or want to blend into the scenery? When you look like me, there are options. Truth be told, when my creator painted this in 1995, she didn’t show it to anyone. Thought it was too cutesy, and didn’t have a purpose. But when she made a graphic novel to release me from hiding, some old paintings suddenly seemed perfect to tell my story of creative limbo. And now the painting lives at Bowdoin College Museum of Art. Reality is always stranger than fiction. Fear not. . . . . . #peperoncino #hotpeppers #hide #camouflage #wallflower #invisible #watercolorpainting #graphicnovel #redmonde #comic #cartoon #character #angelalorenz #artist #bowdoin #bowdoincollegemuseumofart #maine

New year, new identity? Do you want a disguise sometimes, to escape from reality? I’m looking forward to Carnevale. In the meantime, I try to keep amused with the artist’s bizarre collections of advertising, games and assorted ephemera, which she paints. The nose is from a flea market France, the cardboard mustaches from England. She found the advertising card in Italy. . . . . #watercolor #painting #vintage #ephemera #fake #noses #disguise #carnevale #carnival #mustache #game #comb #advertising #display #graphicdesign #graphicnovel #artistbook #redmonde #limitededition #sculpture #toy #angelalorenz #visualartist #artistcollection #curiosities #bowdoincollege

Read about the artist’s traveling mosaic installation, dedicated to Title IX, that features women athletes in bikinis winning the Pentathlon 2000 years ago.
