Η ελπίδα που περιμέναμε
Τέτοιες μέρες πριν από ένα χρόνο δεν είχε έρθει ακόμα. Τώρα έχει έρθει. Είναι εδώ.
Του βιβλίου της Καρμέλας ο χαβάς
Σήμερα το μεσημέρι η Καρμέλα και η Ακιλίνα πάλι ξεκατινιάστηκαν .
Αυθεντικός διάλογος στη Νάπολη.
Φωτοσύνθεση μπρούμυτα και ανάσκελα
Είναι καλό για την υγεία μας να μένουμε στον ήλιο για να φωτοσυνθέτουμε. Η βιταμίνη D και λοιπά.
Όταν φωτοσυνθέτω μπρούμυτα, φωτοσυνθέτουν μαζί μου τα εξής αλμυρά.
Όταν φωτοσυνθέτω ανάσκελα, φωτοσυνθέτουν μαζί μου τα εξής γλυκά.
Sleeping in the waves (video)
In memory of Aylan and of all the Syrian refugee children who slept into the sea during the crossing to freedom.

The photo above will haunt me all my life. The little boy seems like sleeping too near the waves. I had to draw something as an homage to the innocence, somehow to relief my pain. I could never draw a dead child. All children should be well fed, safe and happy. But most of them are not. They leave their once happy home and travel in overcrowded rotten boats far from the war, with hope and fear in the heart. For Aylan the travel ended in the middle of the sea and the waves placed gently the little body at the sand of the shore.
Izola goes to Woodstock
At summer of 1969 I was living with Robert Crumb. Great artist. I admire him a lot. But really strange person. We had a wonderful time together till the day I asked him to come with me to a big rock festival at Woodstock, N.Y. Rob refused. He always prefered to stay at home and seldom went out. He tried to convince me to stay with him.
Rob's ultimate argument was the Greek Sisters, a rip off comic story I was making then as a feminine answer to Gilbert Shelton's Freak Brothers.
Rob freaked out and collapsed. I run away.
For a hitch hicker it's a long long way from San Francisco to New York. Fortunately I was lucky to meet some flower power guys who took me to their flower power van.
So I traveled nice and easy and we all arrived at Woodstock on time. I was broke because I had left all my things in San Francisco, but there were three days of love and music ahead, before I confront the problem.
Some of the scheduled performers didn't appear on time, so John Sebastian, one of the flower power van guys, volunteered to perform till the first arrival. He asked for my assistance: "Let's give the audience a Lovin' Spoonful together, Izola".
It was a triumph! Thanks to this John was later inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
For me the important thing was that the promoters gave us 1000 bucks for our performance. So when the festival was over, I had 500 big ones in my pocket to go back to my country, my language and my era.
