[Stockerlone]

Not remarqued!

I can't believe it!

It can actually happen.:biggrin:
At Reinhard's readings/signings I always wait till the end until everyone else has his autograph + drawing, then i get my sig+remarques.
Sometimes i don't wanna annoy him with too many stuff and only ask for a signature.

Always neat stuff to see here that I would never see otherwise>

A year ago I met Aisha Franz again at the Hamburg Comic Festival, whom I have known for many years.
Although Aisha had a lot to do with an interactive exhibition and the presentation and reading of her latest publication, she still has plenty of time to talk with me and draw a lot of stuff for me.
Some of her published stuff is superhard to get, its only limited to 100 and it was a great surprise for me that Aisha brought me some of her stuff from her private property as a birthday present.

Little by little I will now post all the amazing things i get....


The program of the Comic Festival Hamburg 2019, the cover illustration is by Aisha Franz.

Tks Brian !!!

More stuff from Aisha Franz:

In the photo above you can see the French zine / comic anthology Franky.
It includes Aisha's story Bananarama.
Originally it was of course published in German lim. to only 100, but it is impossible to find a copy.
The alternative was the french translation in Franky 3.

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/742/medium/Funke_Franz_Kleist_Pettinato_075.JPG
Unfortunately there was very little space in the anthology and Aisha had to squeeze her signature and remarque to the edge.

I also attended the release party for the sixteenth edition of the Spring Graphic Novel Anthology called SEX. Before it officially started and got super crowded, almost all artists including Aisha were present, I was able to look at the exhibition and take some photos. To be on the safe side, I'm posting the pictures here, in the USA it's always a bit strange when it comes to the thema nudity-sex.:cool:

The event was great, among other things, one of the original drawings was raffled, although Ari was not present and this of course increased my chances gigantically, I unfortunately did not win.:wtf:

[Brian861]

Awesome, Frank!

Maybe the best ´item´in my Aisha Franz collection....

Aisha Franz won a competition announced by the German Federal Ministry of Finance in 2008 for the design of a postage stamp ("For us children").
I got myself some of the limited stamps, glued them on and left space in the middle,
Aisha signed and remarqued the free space . I then framed it....

As always, the first book I post in a new year is something special, this time something older, the modern fairy tale book by my two good friends Rona Walter and Kristina Lohfeldt that they published some time ago under pseudonyms.


Lilian A. Darling + Rupert Dance = Kristina Lohfeldt + Rona Walter
Blaue Feen & Weiße Königinnen
signed from both



Blue fairies + White queens


When mirrors pass judgment, there is a king in a frog, or spindles bring a hundred years of sleep, then we know that we are already deep in the fairy tale forest, which takes us into magical times, to distant worlds that already enchanted our ancestors. Black and white painting and cruelty, archetypes and primal fears - here people find themselves at the core of their being, their hopes, their desires and expectations. The literary scholars Rupert Dance * and Lillian A. Darling ** take a look behind the scenes of the fairy tales. Where are their origins? How have they changed through the ages? And why do fairy tales still hold such fascination for us today? Experience gruesomely beautiful, sad, heartwarming & humorous fairy tales in a new guise that make you think. With and without “Happily Ever After”.

Again something older.....
After her amazing benefit bookreading event for the social project Save the unmarried men home,
19.08.2019 Simone Buchholz was again so friendly to sign me her newest book, Mexikoring.
The unmarried home is one of two unmarried men homes in Germany that is still run as such. It was opened in 1913 and is still used as accommodation for single men to this day. In the first few decades it was mainly for dockworkers and seafarers. The building is under preservation order since 2013.

Its a longer time ago, when i remember correct It was super hot, but so far that was the only person without a shirt that I have met at a bookreading event so far, and I have been to many many.:excited:

butt:
I haven't noticed until now because i´ve now made the picture lighter .... it's been a long time, butt I think it´s woman.

I didn't see it and now can't unsee it lol. As far as the shirt thing; it's quite common here in the states to not wear a shirt to a sporting event. Even in subzero degree temps. So why not at a reading/signing :).

I looked up a translation page,
THE ASH CITY or maybe
CITY OF ASHES.
Nice cover art.

My advice for the German language, pick just one spelling for the word 'the', and use it! It would make learning German so much easier!
My advice for the English language. To make a plural, add either an 's' or an 'es'. Wow! So much easier!
