OFFSIDE / to violence, indifference, discrimination and doping

From the dictionary

Off - side / inglese – fuorigioco / italian / sm. Inv [ sec XX ; fuori + gioco ].

Situation in which the player, in some team games, in the beginning of the offensive action from his own team, is situated after the last man of the other team; goals marked in off side aren’t good, and the irregular position is punished. In football the players that attacks is in off side when he is in the half side of the opponent team field and there’s noone between him and the opponent team golie.

The Cultural Association "Lo Scrigno Dell’arte" (non profit organism) organize the 11th International Graphic Humour Festival.

Why offside? Because thematics like football guised on paper from graphic humourist, creates an event that amuse the whole world spectators. In fact all the drawers present in the press pages of their country publish ideas on the football world as it’s the most popular sport in the world.

“Offside / to violence, indifference, discrimination and doping” is a cultural event on football world also to remember us that when life is in game, we play for life, because football is sport, happiness and desire of living. This proposal done in a critic moment for football, confirms what we’re saying from the beginning, that a football exposition is meeting moment for an healthy sport vision.

Football game is absolutely the national sport all over the world; the only one that join in a common enthusiastic feeling and participation of all the social classes and that can keep awake the attention much before and much later than the hour and a half of the match. The fact that television or the direct vision can communicate the games images, the public excitation is always on a very high level and tension never get down with the game’s end but goes over and involves in the streets also those who didn’t follow the match. It’s a game that, projected besides the official stadiums, daily propose itself in the thousand of football fields quite extemporized in schools, houses gardens or everywhere a kids group meet himself around a balloon.

Registering this phenomenon, with share spirit and with the placid point of view of cultural interest, with the clever curiosity inquiry and the gage thrown during the time by journalist, writers, photographers, sociologists, philosophers, painters and also drawers. This last category, the humoristic worldwide painters, compare themselves in a meeting exposition under the umbrella football.

A tribute to football in a cultural meeting that overpass the simply football language.

Football appassionates, is like a powerful river that can drag with him million of people to ride his wawe, in a climate mostly of party, football is life, most of all for those who live life in a sportily way. Football is love, especially for those who know the passion. Football is health, because sport must be healthy and honest and against every doping. Football is fun for everyone,above all for sceptic and committed persons. Football is also money, a meeting occasion for those who like staying together and they don’t want to stay no more alone.

For this and for all that this sport represent, we couldn’t do without involving the nibbest international pencils, trying to give football with a smile his primary identity: the game.

2nd Biennal "Wine, Humour and Fantasy" - Italy

SECOND GRAPHIC HUMOUR INTERNATIONAL BIENNAL “ WINE, HUMOUR AND FANTASY”
THEMATIC: WINE IS DIWINE
We always talk about the wine culture, we also add wine in culture. Cinema, painting, literature, art generally have drawn from wine and whereas a two-sided journey that makes get high the wine glass on the seventh art podium, as cinema is considered the seventh art.
Thinking to Mario Soldati, writer and Italian movie director who said that “wine is something that lives and make part of our lives”, we can say that the product wine is the “8th art “.
The first historical reference we find it in the Bible, the patriarch Noé ate fermented grape to celebrate the Deluge.
Another ancient wine reference we have it in Kana’s wedding. According to the legend, a Persian king forgot a grape bunch inside an amphora. After a little time, he saw with surprise that it has fermented and spread some juice. He thought that juice was poison and inform about that his courtesan. But one of them who lost the king’s favour, tried to committ suicide drinking that juice thinking it was poison. Instead the more she drinked it, the more she felt happy and wishful and so she gave them a glass to the king waking in him desire.
The wine alchemy has always been present in magician and sublime aspects of human beeing.
Our most happiest moments are celebrated with this nectar produced by earth and by man’s work.
Celebrations, weddings, birthes, deceases, great banquets, family or religious parties are accompained with wine, nectar from fermented grape that transmits euphoria and happiness.
Wine has been the inspiration source in literary creation in all his genres.
Wine is life and truth, according to the classical motto "in vino veritas", as it’s been told by the French director Jean Luc Godard: “Truth is images in 24 images per second”.
Wine is, like humour "drinking poetry, that has to be tasted, felt, seen and heard…" always present in history and art.

Call for support to the new element: VIEWPOINT

Possibly you have noticed the new element named VIEWPOINT on top right-hand corner of the blog. I think it needs some explanation.
To enrich the blog caricaturque, I am planning to publish daily cartoons / caricatures sent by blog-friendly cartoonists and / or borrowed by the blogger from cartoonbooks, catalogs, blogs, or websites as I did from Mr Kosanovic's when I first had the idea while surfing among his excellent works.
Hope international cartoonists take interest in this new element and e-mail a couple of their cartoons recently achieved or from their archives. Of course, the copyrights will still belong to the artists themselves except for this promotional use in the blog caricaturque.
You can e-mail your cartoons / caricatures for the VIEWPOINT in attachment to one of the following addresses please (Subject: For Viewpoint):
