	L'arte del Prof. Bad Trip
		Il Professore si è formato alla scuola del monachesimo penitenziale punk, tra Blade Runner e Mad Max, e si è assunto un compito didattico di allertare i suoi simili sulla fragilità della gloria terrena, sulla sciocca vanità espressa da scettri e spade.

		Non a caso, nella parte centrale del libro, viene proposto un libero adattamento di Il Pasto Nudo di William Burroughs: non una semplice sceneggiatura a fumetti del romanzo, ma una vera rilettura che, attraverso l' "espressionismo psyco-punk" delle tavole, sottolinea l' idea di un' umanità ormai completamente soggiogata dalla tecnocrazia.

	Gary Willis - La Commedia Del Arte - Paintings
		It is the masque of les saltimbanques, the misfits and the gypsies who have drifted through Europe over the centuries, the clowns, the fools, the tumblers, the jugglers, the fire eaters, the showmen, these quacks and charlatans who stay alive by their wits.
		These figures are classic images in the arts from Pagliacci to Petrushka and artists including the Nain brothers, Jacques Callot, Domenico Tiepolo, Watteau, Goya, Daumier, Picasso, Beckman, Boyd and now Willis have all represented some aspect of this alluring subject.
		His COMMEDIA DEL ARTE work is oddly misplaced in a very old fashioned and quite a kitsch way, the images self-consciously stand right outside the realms of painting as decoration.
