The Early Bird

the early birds by Angelo DeSantis

A popular quote says "the early bird gets the worm". Some attribute to Robert A. Heinlein the complement: "the early worm deserves the bird".

My contribution to the philosophy: before get up early, it is better to know in which position of the food chain you are.

The Arrival

The Arrival by Shaun Tan

Today I have discovered Shaun Tan in the book The Arrival. An artist capable of combining the fantastic with the trite, in inspiring and sensible illustrations. His book reminded me the singular technique of Moebius. In an image book with no words, Shaun Tan makes you feel the experience and the lostness of an immigrant. The fantastic land produces an unparalleled perception of being in a foreign world, without references and submerged in an unknown language.
