A teacher of my class always underlined the importance of adding written  informations during the sketching phase, and mostly of the time I didn’t  know what to say, sometimes maybe I faked it to write something useful. With time, while I was focusing on my artistic path, words started  emerging, about anything: shop lists, songs titles, memo ideas... Until  it became essential to me. I really need to put the tickling weight of  thoughts somewhere, before it can possibly fade, and paper is capable to keep it for me with secrecy. Handwritten words are part of me, as much  as visionary f...
