This arrived in my mail shortly before I left for Singapore to attend Freedom’s screening at the Animation Nation 2008 – Pixar storyboard artist and SketchCrawl founder Enrico Casarosa’s The Venice Chronicles. I haven’t had time at all to take a good look at it…till now ! What a beautiful book…thanks Enrico !
(Below) A personal touch : Enrico’s own caricature and autograph on the front page.
The Venice Chronicles is a travelogue of Enrico’s trip to the mesmerizing city, illustrated in gorgeous watercolors and pencil. The book comes in a sturdy, white hardcover bound, with 144 pages of artwork.
Get your copy of The Venice Chronicles here !
Enrico also sent me a copy of the artbook from the highly sucessful Totoro Forest Project, I’ll post some pictures from it soon.

I like the humor in Enrico’s biographical stories. I recall reading his sketch crawl episodes online and have been looking forward to the Venice Chronicles since he announced. Luckily, I managed to order the version with a watercolor book plate
I am still waiting for my book to arrive and good to know it is looking nice.
Wow… after lurking here for a while, my first post >.<

They are great works ,somehow the style and concept are very familiar to me with Miyazaki-san’s DAY DREAM note book
