[Italian - English Below]

Uno schizzo veloce, un disegno fatto ritagliando un tempo che non ho per celebrare l'antifascismo e la liberazione, ma soprattutto per ricordare, in primis a me stessa, che la resistenza è un atto quotidiano, che risiede in ogni atto, anche nelle pennellate improvvisate di una mattina di aprile, un 25 Aprile.
Buona liberazione e buona resistenza a tutti e tutte!

[English]

A quick sketch, a drawing made during a time I don’t have to celebrate antifascism and liberation, but especially to remind, to myself first, that resistance is an everyday act, and it lives in every act, even in the improvised brushstrokes in a morning in April, an April 25.
Happy liberation and happy resistance to everyone!

Sketchy Notes 2024: Digital Sketchbook #2
'Grandma memories: the black dress'
.
I haven't been publishing my #weeknotes yet because I am changing and restructuring my blog, but as I do it in my limited spare time (yes, the PhD is to blame), it still need some work. Today, however, it's a special day for me, and I really wanted to share it.

A sketchy note to my grandma, who taught me the love for craft and learning, and would have turned 90 today:

It's Christmas Eve and as tradition commands, I'm already in the kitchen preparing homemade tortellini for tonight's dinner.
With war ravaging in Palestine, I'm not really in the mood for celebrating, and wasn't sure if posting this drawing.
Then I just realised: have you notice the colour of Christmas are the same of the Palestine's flag?
So well, I guess there's only one great wish for these Christmas holidays: ceasefire now!

Hello #pixelfed crowd!
I just decided to join here so to have somewhere in the #fediverse completely dedicated to my drawing and designs. As stated in my bio, I draw a lot: as a hobby, as a job, and as a researcher. I mostly draw traditionally (pen, ink, watercolour), sometimes digitally (especially #GraphicDesign).

I do a lot of #UrbanSketching and #DrawingEthnography, but when I have time (which is very rare) I love to draw some original characters like the one in this picture, who is a character from a little story I wrote long time ago and that recently I was thinking of turning into a #comic. But it's more of a thought than an actual project, as my research doesn't allow for enough free time for personal projects.

The image above has also being part of my ever first post in the #fedi last year, when I initially joined mastodon.art

I'll be doing an awful lot of ethnographic sketching this year, so I guess that would be most of my content after the initial posts to welcome the new season.
So, whether you are a creative researcher or someone who like art, drawing, and watercolours, I am happy to connect!
