Oh, joy and gaiety! The last time I heard anything about the word “gaiety” it was from an English teacher during my grade school years. I'm still not sure whether she was making words up on the fly for kicks or she just hadn't talked to a native English speaker since the 1800's. Whatever the case, the reason we're celebrating in such vintage terms is because ir/rational redux, the indie videogame for which æclipse µattaru did some drawings, is finally done. Where can I play it, you ask? OK, so maybe “done” is sort of a big word. It's more like the afforementioned drawings are done, and now it's up to the good Tom Jubert to finish up with the game proper, which is still a little ways to go. So, easy on the gaiety, I guess. We are much closer now -certainly closer than when we just started-, so there's that. Also, some of the drawings can be seen here, so there's also that.

In other news, the Group of Uruguayan Children's Book Illustrators iluyos just kicked off a campaign called “The illustrators are authors”, which will consist of a bunch of public art displays and other such acts of revolution, like this cute collection in which 22 illustrators take their own interpretation on the © symbol. Here's our host's.

Finally, the Digital section is growing at a pace that will probably require some reorganizing soon, and includes a somewhat alarming amount of fanarts. One would say it's high time someone invented something new. Incidentally, that might or might not be something about which there might or might not be exciting news around the corner. I guess the only way to be sure would be to stick around and wait.

What a masterful handling of suspense. Hitchcock, eat your heart out.
