ANCI Creative Award 2010

ANCI CREATIVE AWARD 2010 Beautifully shaped: 3D shoes!
Emerging Art Edition - Milano, March 2nd – 5th, 2010

Green light to the new edition of ANCI Creative Award, the competition that turns to creative talents from all over the world promoted by ANCI, the National Association of Italian Footwear Manufacturers.
This year the competition aims again at involving artists of the web world, as well as traditional ones. The thread of the competition, that is to say the 3-D aspect of footwear, has also inspired the title of the event:
Beautifully shaped: 3D shoes!

Works can be illustrations, traditional sculptures, or CG3D. The jury will select 20 works that will be printed and inserted in a breathtaking 3-D stereoscopic video. They will be showed to visitors and international press during next Micam ShoEvent (Milano, March 2nd to 5th, 2010). During the event the winner will be announced and awarded with a prize money.
The competition deadline is February 8th, 2010.

CAVA

Yesterday with my great pleasure i knew Sergio on the web,the son of CAVA...simply a myth!
The beloved humorist Osvaldo "Cava" Cavandoli (1920-2007) is best known for the genius of a character he created from a single line, aptly known as LA LINEA ("The Line").
He also worked working independently as a director and a producer of stop motion films...a very unique and inimitable italian artist!

Here an original CAVA drawing that I bought in Milan some years ago.
