Working a new complex piece! A personal one! Finallyyy!

Sketch for the pose, featuring Scylla the most massive pistrix of all time. We will re-do this with ballpoint pen, on white paper, and complete it (this is just a study of what we want to do).

The title is "matri du mari", that in Sicilian means "Mother of the Sea".

Some time ago we finally got the chance to visit the one and only "Villa of Monsters", aka Villa Palagonia, in the city of Bagheria! We were looking forward to this very peculiar experience, and the old Villa did not disappoint (and neither did the delicious cannoli and sfincione we ate after).

To celebrate, here's a little drawing of the stone sentinels that welcome visitors at the gate, the "Pupi di Palagonia"! It means something along the lines of "Palagonia puppets", and they are quite popular in the city, even in business logos. They're quite the affable fellas, indeed.

(We like Villa Palagonia so much we even wrote a page about it, in our blog! It's in Italian, sorry, but if you understand it, you can read it here)
