I am back in Venice, sketching festival moments again, but this time directly onto copper plates for etching.
Well I just reached the press conference for The Wrestler, jumping from one boat to the next to reach the Lido en tempo.
I had to stand at the conference but sometimes having this profile makes a good view for the sketch. I took the copper plate out of the bag and started to etch what I felt would be the winning plate. Mickey Rourke and Darren Aronofsky were holding the stage here, the angle was the 15 year comeback for Mickey, it was good. He suggested that it's only by realising our struggles that we manage them, and learn to hold up after. Today they announced the film won the Golden Lion for best film. It was a moment of magic, and a true performance.
