Laura "Zel" Carboni: Yaoi Made in Italy

[reviews_and_ramblings]

I just added a new post to the "Chatting with" series on "Rosa is for Romance".

Laura "Zel" Carboni: Yaoi Made in Italy

"Hi to all!

I will introduce myself: my name is Laura Carboni, but everyone calls me "Zel." I started my career as a designer when I was still a toddler: I made my first colored drawing when I was two years old and my mother still keeps it! :-)

Some people ask me how I can draw in two completely different styles, as may be my personal and what I should use for "Winx Club"... and the beautiful thing is that I don't know for sure even I! :-) It's like if I had two spacious closets, positioned precisely in my head, and that I open and close depending on what I want to take out, namely, what I should draw. It is not easy, it is not gratifying, but it is necessary because professionalism means sacrifice and flexibility."

Non ti preoccupare, immaginavo fosse uno degli italiani che girano su LJ, e non ce ne sono molti!

Lo sai vero che Laura ha un fumetto yaoi in italiano? è Like U, tradotto in inglese come Love Circles. Inoltre ha una storia in inglese Roulette, pubblicato a puntate sul seriale Rush.

Trovi tutto su Amazon, purtroppo l'edizione italiana del fumetto penso sia esaurita.

si ho letto la sua odissea e come il solito ho capito che in Italia lo
"yaoi" e' sempre un tabu' (sia scritto che parlato) -.-''''''''''''''''''
PECCATO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
cmq mi piace veramente come disegna (mi baso su quelli che hai inserito nel tuo blog) molto piu' di Dany & Dany (i gusti sono gusti ^^'')

What an absolutely glorious picture! It reminds me of a Tarot deck. I love the rich colors. I don't read yaoi at all--the characters look too childlike, and that's a big turn-off for me--but oh, my goodness.

I just called my partner in to see this pretty thing and she said, "Why don't your covers look like that?"
My publisher uses photo, and photo-realistic, so that isn't possible, but I wish it were.

Some of those pictures are absolutely gorgeous!

The strenght of Laura is that their men are really "manly".

And for the cover thing, she has done the cover for Gadarene by Tina Anderson and C.B. Potts. I don't know if it was an only thing or if she is available for other works. Maybe if, and when, you publish with another publishers (even if Linden Bay is very good), you could try.

Yes, I love very much Laura's style, it's very original, isn't it?

Elisa sono così emozionata!

Cara Laura, ti meriti tutta l'attenzione di questo mondo. Elisa

If I send something elsewhere, I surely will ask. And you've hit it - the figures are stylized, but they are clearly men, not boys, which I find a lot more erotic. (I would love to see her do a Tarot deck--it would be the perfect Christmas present for a couple of my friends.)
