About the Item

Enki Bilal - Happy Birthday - Original Signed Drawing Title: Happy Birthday ink and acrylic on paper, story in a board published as a poster in the magazine "To Follow" n ° 18 Titled, signed and dated 1979 Dimensions: 39 x 32 cm. Enki Bilal (born October 7, 1951) is a French-Yugoslavian comics writer and artist, best known for "The Carnival of Immortals", initially intended as a stand-alone album, but whose success would result in two sequels, "The Woman Trap" in 1986 and "Equator Cold" in 1993. The three albums form the Nikopol Trilogy. On his own, he also wrote and drew The Monster's Tetralogy, the first book of which somehow anticipated 9/11 in 1998... which is the publication date. Keep in mind Enki Bilal often takes three years to finish one single album. While continuing to work primarily as a graphic artist and illustrator, Bilal has directed three movies, "Bunker Palace Hotel" in 1989 (a parable on the collapse of dictatorships), "Tykho Moon" in 1997, and Immortal (based on the aforementioned "The Carnival of Immortals" and "The Woman Trap") in 2004. As a bit of trivia, it's been theorised that Viral from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann was named after him - "Bilal" and "Viral" would be pronounced the same in Japanese, Viral pilots a mecha called the Enki, and his Leitmotif is called "Nikopol".

Watchmaker, Drawing, Inventor, Work on Paper, Ink, Watercolor, Tan, Yellow
By Krzysztof Pastuszka
Located in Riverdale, NY
Watchmaker is an original Ink and Watercolor Pencil drawing on paper. It is 16x24, unframed. Krzysztof Pastuszka is an interdisciplinary artist who spans sculpture, drawing, engineering, and computer design. Much of his work focuses on the complexity and tension in transition/transitioning, giving voice to his experience growing up as a trans kid in the late 90s -2000s. His process consists of idea generation and the testing and creation of prototypes to generate a multitude of parts. He focuses on mechanical movement and the interplay between parts to visualize the intricacies of change and focus on the necessity of each component's ability to cooperate with another and create movement. He uses motion as a way to expose all the micro-operations and mental acrobatics involved in navigating and rejecting the unchanging nature of cisnormativity. He combines his array of skills to envision and compose an elaborate trail of blueprints archiving the hidden and unseen essence of his trans experience--building documentation that didn't exist in his childhood.
