Il Blog di Actarus

A great blog from Italy, with great Oekaki style illustrations: Actarus’ Blog.

Incidentally Actarus is the name of the pilot of Grandizer (In Italy called “Goldrake”) a late 70s Big Robot anime, that brings million different shades of nostalgia to most italian guys my age. ;) (I even drew it in this comic, last page, for now) Ok, geek out over.

Update, Ronnie tells me that the awesome illustrations at Actarus Blogs are all from Claudio Acciari. Look at more of his awesome work in Ronnie’s post.

    Hey Enrico…nice stuff!!
    it’s the same for me, when I see Goldrake
    … I went in Japan and I got few DVDs of it, and last Christmass I bought few more in Italy, and other animations of when I was a kid.
    I don’t know if you remember me, but we met at Pixar.. I am Silvia Wong’s friend..we spoke really fast on the stairs. Jean Carlee told me good things about you and I must say that it’s all “true” this website is really refreshing, and I like the fact that all you guys love doing cafe drawing as well. Hope you will like some of my cafe drawing.
    All respect
    Angelo
