SLIM DOGS
How to transform your passion into a work without getting excessively poor

In 2007 Matteo Bruno opened a YouTube channel as Cane Secco. In 2014 Matteo Bruno together with three other guys opened a video production studio named Slim Dogs Production. In 2018 Slim Dogs Production didn’t go under yet. How did a YouTube channel manage to evolve into a business activity? We in Slim Dogs will try to give an answer to this question although we don’t actually know how this could have happened, so don’t expect a big deal.

The new era of traditional sign painting – Making a living by the brush

The art of the traditional hand painted sign is having a revival. But why choose a hand painted sign, when you can get one made with an automated machine cheaper and faster? Because hand painted signs have soul! Made by human hands with all their beautiful imperfections, hand painted signs set a gap from the majority of digital rendered signage. Jakob Engberg is a full time sign painter, keeping the craft alive. He will speak about his passion for this traditional work and why hand painted signs have place in 2018.

To make many books there is no end…

What does publishing mean today, starting from my work at ISIA Urbino and with the new Progetto Grafico magazine? Publishing means many things, ranging from a spontaneous action to an articulated professional workflow. Publishing can be a punctual event as well as a life-long project, but certainly it means to occupy a physical or digital space. In my practice, publishing is not a private process which aims at distributing an output. It is instead a public process that produces space for debate.
