Sento il profumo di un calore che continua a rimandare l’entrata in scena. Stanno arrivando i giorni della spensieratezza sublime, della spiaggia affollata, dei bambini che giocano, del sole cocente sulle guance, del tuo bacio che fa danzare ogni monade del mio corpo.. su e giù. Sta arrivando.
“Quest’estate.. speravo non arrivasse quest’estate.. E ora che è quasi alle porte… che sento il suo fiato sul collo.. spero non finisca mai.”
E come se le foglie di quell’albero che ho costruito in questo lungo inverno stessero cadendo una ad una, lentamente.. il tempo passa. Lo scardinare dei minuti, il ticchettio dell’orologio.. i pensieri si infittiscono, le note di Keepsake di Andrey Nailer si avvicinano minacciose.
“Tutto è vanità, tutto finisce.” Sento il profumo della pioggia, vedo i raggi del sole.
“Bisogna sacrificare i rami per la salvezza del tronco.” Bisogna, si ripeté Sophia.

Marina's Sketchbook

We're always interested in other people's projects.

It's almost an obsession, it's all about "who did what, how interesting, is it relevant or not". It's that feeling of respect/envy for those who are capable of something dazzling, whether they are or are not "competitors". We sensed that strongly in Four Lines, so we decided to accept those feelings and make it a healthy habit. Online we can find tons of interesting material, but it seems to be impossible to know something about the person behind the work, as if it was a picture with no credits. The undergrowth of creatives who feed this infinity of links is what we're looking foward to know, little by little. 

So we asked Marina to send us her drawings, answer questions, write her to-do list.

Thesselle: Where did you study?
Marina: I graduated in Communication's Design from Politecnico di Milano, with a european exchange in France that has been kind of a turnover in terms of life changing experience. After graduating I got into a type design course and that's what I would like to do for now.

T: What is your occupation at the moment?

M: I'm working in a graphic design studio in Milan. I do a little bit of everything, the most interesting thing is probably tha packaging.

T: What do you usually drink?

M: analcoholic, water and coffee. Alcoholic, I passionately go for white wine and vodkalemon.

T: Did you have a trauma?

M: I don't think so. I can't stand the blood view, but i don't know if is it based n a trauma.

T: What is it your addiction?

M: If you mean that as a drug, it's the opinion (and approval) of those who I care about.

kids

After writing about it, the “list of stuff to do” has been hunting us. Determined to appear in every conversation, even just to be mentioned, it has been bouncing between the two of us for days, in need to be vented, butchered and revolted in real life, just like a dream keeps coming back until you face it in reality.

So we decided to incorporate, every now and then, some space for it, defining the voices, those fatidic things, the stuff to do before the years pass by leaving no notice.

So this time we will talk about

- skating

Not that we never actually got on a plank. I guess we could say we wanted to go deeper, we wanted to be one of these kids who grinds and does tricks but we were lazy. 

We still are.

Plus, you need to get over the fear of falling. Because if you want to be good at it, you will leave elbows and knees on the ground, or at least the skin upon them. The asphalt dig trough your flesh aiming for the joints if you're determined to become a pro. You know you are one when the crusts get better.

But most of the people doesn't put enough effort and gives up, just for the fear of falling. Of being hurt, even if it's only superficial.

In fact, we've been sitting on the ground all afternoon, taking picture of those who are willing to be hurt, in front of the central station. We are perfectly aware of the fact that we're not gonna pursuit skating, not today, not tomorrow.

So we're just gonna draw a line on this voice.

Being young equals being bored.
It's algebraic.


You don't ever have enough money or drive or fucus to actually do anything in the long list of "stuff you wanna do".
I't in between the twelve and the thirty-something years old, and after that you realize those which should have been your best years just passed by, without any attempt to draw a line on whatever on that damn list.


T H E   L I S T   O F   S T U F F   T O   D O


- Like, food fight.
- Like, mad trips toward no clear destination.
- Like,  bungee jumping.


we chose to draw a line on:
- pass more time in front of the computer (cause it just wasn't enough)


and also:
- stop judging if you can't prove all your being like "I would have done it a lot better"


and actually show the world that maybe it's not all that better, but at least it's interesting.


Or, we hope so.
