I sat down tonight and started to put together pictures from the World Press Photo exhibition, and just couldn't do it. I was in a dark quiet room, rain pattering on the skylight as usual looking at a screen filled with dead and dying children, oil spills and junkies - and I just had to put it off until tomorrow and go take a really long bath. I am sure it is partially because of the exhaustion level from drinking with the Russians last night,but it was just too difficult.
There is a part of an old Soft Cell song chips on my shoulder I was listening to earlier tonight...
"Misery, Complaints, Self Pity, Injustice
There's no time for fun time
It's sit and complain time
I'll talk about famine while cooking the dinner
Don't you feel guilty
Don't you feel pity (No)
While my head gets fatter
And the starving get thinner"
*ouch*
It felt a little too close to home...

It's always nice to find a comment from you on my page... unfortunalely, being still too busy for my own good, I check SG only once in a while...
So I have belated answers to do! First: Raed; do you give an eye sometimes to this website? (http://dear_raed.blogspot.com) I'm sometimes very intrigued by this site...it's almost too perfect.... to the extent it makes me sometimes ask to myself if life imitates art.
Then: Munoz and Sampayo... They are Argentinians, they both lived for some time in Italy, Munoz now lives part-time in France, Munoz is amazing at line drawing, he masters perfectly B&W techniques, they did several graphic novels most of them available in Spanish (Argentinian), French and Italian editions, but I don't think they wereall published in English versions, I think some were published by Drawn&Quarterly...
