Esce 6 Gradi Di Separazione!

This is a very special occasion: my first post in Italian! (English translation below)

La settimana prossima esce il mio primo libro: 6 Gradi Di Separazione, pubblicato dalla giovane ma intraprendente Bel-Ami Edizioni, che l’anno scorso si e’ buttata nel mondo del fumetto con Storie Brevi e Senza Pieta’, scritte da Marco Taddei e disegnate da Simone Angelini (stimato collega, benefattore e recentemente anche personal graphic designer). Chi mi conosce sara’ probabilmente sorpreso quanto me che questo strano progetto, a cui lavoro incostantemente da anni, veda finalmente la luce. Il 23 e il 24 Marzo mi troverete incredulo al BUK di Modena, per presentare il libro e scarabocchiare a vostro piacimento.

Potete trovare maggiori informazioni e ordinare il libro su:  http://www.baedizioni.it/catalogo/6-gradi-di-separazione-di-matteo-farinella/ e tenervi aggiornati su futuri eventi tramite Facebook. A presto!

100 POSTS LATER…

I don’t usually celebrate recurrences, anniversaries, birthdays and such sentimental attempts to constrain the fourth and most cruel of dimensions (time).  However:

• this is my 100th post
• last month I had the record number of 1306 clicks
• this is the year I’m going to publish my first comic book

All things I would have never predicted when I started this blog, more than 20 months ago. So I think it is time for a self-celebratory post.

Thank you for reading,

Matteo

a comic about neuroscience?

“why not?” said the Wellcome Trust.

I apologize for the scarcity of posts lately, this may become a chronic problem as I am embarking on a new exciting project which combines 2 of my favorite things ever: comics and neuroscience.

More details (and a new website) will soon be available.

Stay tuned!

Another comeback from the past…

during these days in Bologna I am working on an expanded and revised draft of 6 Degrees Of Separation, the graphic novel which I [optimistically] declared completed 10 months ago.

Recruitment for volunteer proofreaders is now open.
