High Tea

Dasha Gerasimova, thanks to Russian Season Kid's Books

Having been a US resident for nine years, I always follow American politics 

with great interest, which often turns to concern. Now that the election is over, 

I can finally relax and celebrate with a proper Tea Party!

Old Dogs

I am sorry to have missed Vecchi Cani, the recent exhibition of drawings

by Giovanna Durì at the Nuages Gallery in Milan (the same space that regularly 

features the shows of Matticchio). Durì is a well known graphic designer 

and exhibition designer, and this show was her coming out as an artist. 

The dogs portrayed were met in friends' homes, streets, parks, and kennels.  

After all we've been through last Summer, I was deeply moved 

by the sadness and tenderness in the eyes of these sweet old dogs, 

and by Durì's loving gaze towards them. 

 Vecchi Cani is also a book published by Nuages.

One Last Bat

It's too bad that I couldn't do this in time for Halloween,

but I am still very happy to present you Tallula, queen of the night. 

She is the protagonist of the latest picture book written by Adam Jaromir,

the author of Zarafa and Fantje, and co-founder of Gimpel Verlag.

The great Józef Wilkon painted the illustrations, and 

Dorota Novacka created the distinctive typography.

„Ba… ba... barbastelle!?“, wonders Tallula,

„I don't know anybody by that name.“

Will she ever find her family and friends?

And will her new glasses be of such a great help?
