Illustration 2 by Tanino Liberatore

I bought this beauty from the gallery Petits Papiers, thank you to them to make it possible.

It was really an adventure and it has a little story to go along with it. I bought it (or start buying it to be more accurate) before I even know Tanino Liberatore would come this year to Portugal to attend the most relevant comic convention we have here (FIBDA).

After I have finished to pay for it I took my time waiting for the gallery to send me the artwork, after a contact they told me they were going to send it to me two weeks ago but unfortunatly they were able to send it just one week ago after I insisted and because I had a feeling that the artwork wasn't signed...and I was right...and Tanino would be here just for this weekend.

Fortunatly it arrived Saturday but I was at work and the post office didn't let the artwork in the adress because it had to be delivered in hand to me. The post office didn't have the artwork when I personaly went there at 13:00 and at 14:00 because the postman did not arrive from his deliveries, I made the post office call the postman and fortunatly they could locate him and to abreviate a long story I finally get it in my hands at 16h15, at 16h30 I picked up my wife to go to a wedding 150km far at 18h00 and in the next day I was having the artwork signed by Liberatore and drawing me the beautif sketches you can see in the gallery...maybe it's like what they say, what is difficult usually has a very special taste... :)
