The latest releases of Australian free-press STU magazine have always been a European or American Guest Art Director who has managed the graphics and layout, the last in order of time is the good Deanne Cheuk. Start from here when Zolton Zavos, editor in chief at the STU and current director of Lost At E Minor, invites me to take care of an exit of the magazine. Then prove to be the last number, almost a special edition, but then could not know anyone. :-)

I begin to work with the only brief to provide uniformity and rhythm to reading, and feel the most free and creative as possible. The dream of every Art. I am very fun, though with a few months too many, life takes an interesting project in which the photos are deleted by my signs and duplicate on the left to be taken, with scribbles and drawings by hand alternating compositions absurd newspaper clippings, in which almost every edited page is based on ethereal nuance of blue and white sky and finally where each title is drawn by hand as a post-contemporary living little creature.

Given the positive contagious madness with Zolton, always a distance between Sydney and the suburbs of Rome, we decide to add 20 pages devoted to Italian artists… the rest is easy, ask some fun and I arrive in a couple of days too many contributions. Ok next time I will be more thrifty with the invitations.
In summary: I was Guest Art Director, Deanne Cheuk soon after, and missed the last number of STU magazine, headed not by chance The Rome Issue # 27 (Australia). It is worthwhile to say. The format is 15 × 20 cm and is 80 pages with articles and contributions from other artists about how Evoq and Bogue.
