The following is the conversation made by the author David Berardi, alias Daw held on the occasion of the exhibition dedicated to him ...
Dear Daw, thanks for being with us!
The exhibition on display this year at the fifth edition of Bergomix, not just your complete works known as "A" Ignorance, but also deals with other cartoons like Sick, Sick, Sick, The Mysterious Duck in Japan, animals, raw, and Vignette Lov little surprises. From where you create your stories?
Yeah, like I said, some of my comics and characters prendon some inspiration from the real world, such Brullonulla follows an Internet user with the same nickname that has the same cynicism, or is Mrs. Fleccier inspired by that of the show that I saw when I attended the middle school.
always talking of your works are not only players but also actors, for example in "The Mysterious Duck in Japan", not there is only the duck, but also two other characters, a boy and a ninja.
The Mysterious Duck in Japan, was originally part of the gag Sick, Sick, Sick, a series full of completely stupid people, but has impressed the editors there was a request to do more cartoons his honor. Now the idea is to do him a world around, build character, only that it is difficult because the plot is essentially silent in the midst of which he does nothing and all the other moving.
So it is quite difficult to make the stories of the duck in Japan ...
is because he is too strong and do nothing. There Brullonulla which is strong because it has a doctorate. Then there Sbranzo that is too strong ... they're all too cool! One must always draw the characters around them to die, exploding to create dynamism.
I saw you also used the common imaginary characters also born in the 80s as the robottoni, the Chiappafantasmi ...
I grew up in the 80s, so thank goodness the imaginary reference is to ...
On another hand you can say the strips of Sick Sick Sick?
of the cartoons are created to throw in the insane stuff with very simple characters. Start simple design, then over time begin to make things more complicated, deeper and lose yourself to do shit, so it is better to draw things simple and straightforward as possible.
As ever, ever in this series the Doctor is so bad and incompetent? It 's a satirical portrait of the Italian health?
No, it's a character just simply bad. I liked to do just that, with this character and that its appearance. I do not know if they continue, there are so many characters to carry on in the series and also becomes a problem.
Also in this series from time to time to see people peeping parody of the movie world, as Stiven Siga, Alien ...
Steven Seagal is a character so stereotyped that it's a cartoon ... say, is already there and it is natural, was made, used, it was easy. However, so far I've only done a story. Instead, Mr Fleccier from there ... But it takes time to deepen and there are just too many characters. Should I start to sublet it to other people!
We talked about Sick, Sick, Sick, "A" Ignorance, The Mysterious Duck in Japan ... speaking of animals on display there are also strip the "raw Plush Animals".
Yes
And the animals who are raw? What are they?
E 'a strip in which you can put things more vulgar, earthy, humor of the bar, pee poo, those things! I wanted to kind of base instincts, if one part of the things I used to sell but dovevan be clean, the other was building up the "rotten". I used characters "pulitini" like the duck in Japan and then the characters need to do dirty increased. I liked the idea of \u200b\u200bfunny guys who kill these animals, in theory, I started with things fairly clean, there is still a commercial vein in these stories.
can be considered a parody of Disney?
The idea was to make the contrast between their gaiety and sympathy, and their being unbalanced mentally, then I've been made into children's cartoon style. Troppolino (one of the main note) is a parody, that wants to become a cartoon. Sooner or later there will be a duckling, I would call Pupparini. There was also the idea to resurrect the corpse of Walt Disney but who knows if it is legal!
You also picked up the figure of the rabbit. Instead of having the fluffy bunny rabbit you've entered a bad luck.
The fact is that if you play too much with the Fleccier, a little different if I do not have the same power. Essentially it's a rabbit with no legs leads bad luck. Me that they had suggested, however, was originally to be a ladybug, but the idea I was too disgusting.
The colors of this strips, as well as others, will you do?
I do everything myself to the computer. I'm learning to make them better but takes away the time, three hours against the time of the simple pencil and ink.
The black and white is a hallmark of your Vignette Lov. Have a special meaning?
I'll give the computer to speed. I started doing this to vent a situation negative emotional and then are liked.
Thanks for being with us!
Thanks also to all of you who have visited the exhibition and many who are attending the inauguration!
Stay tuned to these frequencies!
