Dustin Kiskaddon draws on his own apprenticeship with Matt, the owner of Oakland's Premium Tattoo, and takes us behind the scenes into the complex world of professional tattooers.

Blood and Lightning brings us through the tattoo shop, where the smell of sterilizing agents, the hum of machines, and the sound of music spill out onto the back patio.

Cecilia Toussaint le da voz a Frida Kahlo. Ocho días antes de morir, Frida Kahlo cogió sus pinceles por última vez y escribió sobre la pulpa roja de la sandía: «Viva la vida. Coyoacán, 1954». Pocos meses antes, le habían amputado la pierna derecha y notaba, ahora sí, cómo sus...

Rembrandt's life has always been an enigma. How did a miller's son from a provincial Dutch town become the greatest artist in the world? To find out, Onno Blom immersed himself in the world, the country, the city, and the house in which Rembrandt was born in 1606 and where he spent the first 25 years of his life. The result is a fascinating portrait of the artist as a young man, rich in local and biographical detail, and restless in its efforts to seek out the roots of his genius.

Three complaisant kids, two stormy parents, one anxious French poodle, too many U-haul trailers, and the potholed road of the early 1960s. Searching for Alpha Centauri is American Public Television artist Gary Spetz's boyhood memoir of living a nomadic life with an impetuous mother, a discontent casino-security-guard step-father, an anxious French poodle, and two complaisant siblings -- during the early 1960s. The artist/author paints his moving landscape with words. He adeptly colors these words with both humor and tenderness.

Le collaborazioni con Piero Angela e Enzo Jannacci, gli incontri con Mina e Matt Groening, il successo del Signor Rossi e quella notte degli Oscar in compagnia di Kim Basinger e un pirata... Con la complicità di Tempia, Bozzetto ripercorre le sue esperienze di creativo e regista - dai filmini adolescenziali sulle formiche del giardino di casa alla genesi di West and Soda e Vip, da Allegro non troppo fino a oggi -, intrecciandole ai momenti più formativi, divertenti e toccanti della sua vita, come quella volta che la stampa lo definì "meglio della Loren" o il giorno in cui ha scelto una pecora per amica.

Goliarda Sapienza anche da bambina è una bambina che vive un suo mondo violento, senza nessuna concessione, che piange con lacrime di rabbia, che respira l’aspra bellezza siciliana, che vede i suoi genitori per quello che sono: una madre sindacalista, tenace nel distinguersi da tutte le altre «donnette», un padre siciliano dalla testa ai piedi. E per rimettere ordine tra le bugie dei ricordi, recupera dalla memoria frammenti di sé che a poco a poco si compongono nel percorso di una donna che vuole essere padrona della sua vita e della sua felicità.

Pierre-August Renoir, leader of the 19th-century Impressionist movement, spent his entire life perfecting his style. Rejected for decades, he depended on friends for a place to stay and money for painting supplies. Renoir lived in poverty until his 40's, and when he was finally discovered and hailed as a great artist, his health began to fail him. Still, Renoir never gave up his passion for painting. His need to create beauty was the driving force of his life, and throughout rejections and deteriorating health, Renoir retained an optimism that is reflected in his paintings.

The ingenious artist we know as Michelangelo lived during the Renaissance in Northern Italy, and you could say that he was indeed a Renaissance man - he was a painter, sculptor, poet, and engineer all rolled up into one. Even though it has been some 450 years since his passing, his legacy remains one of the strongest on record. If the burgeoning art student of today wishes to learn from the best, he takes his notes directly from Michelangelo.

To get a sense of the kind of prestige that Claude Monet enjoys within the art world, one need only learn that his Le Bassin Aux Nympheás (1919) - from his series of paintings featuring water lilies - sold for the equivalent of more than $70 million. This is a staggering price, especially considering that early in his life, Monet had been so poor and debt-ridden that some of his paintings were taken from him by creditors.
