The Haunting Violinist

Did they ever break your heart? Did they ever hurt your feel­ings so bad that you felt yor life was mean­ing­less? That hap­pened to Veit Alv­intzi. He was one of the most gifted musi­cians from the 18th Cen­tury but his promis­ing career as a solo violin vir­tu­oso was dark­ened by tragedy and despair. Today, the name of Veit Alv­intzi is not cast in golden let­ters in music ency­clo­pe­dias but the howl­ing of his violin, attached to his long ghostly sil­hou­ette, still sounds in the hills near Vienna. Aus­trian local leg­ends recall him as the man who lost his soul and went down to Hell to recover it: The Haunt­ing Violinist.

This is part of a col­lab­o­ra­tive project called “Koldo’s Crea­ture Work­shop”. Read the rest of the story and col­lab­o­rate in bring­ing it to life and win a spe­cial signed print! Visit The Haunt­ing Violinist.

The Tail­swifters are little crea­tures of mag­i­cal nature who have been described and inter­preted in dif­fer­ent ways through­out the years. Still today, there is not sci­en­tific evi­dence about their exis­tence. Be myth or be real­ity, they always seem to be wit­nessed by people (espe­cially chil­dren, teenagers, preg­nant women and artists) right at the verge of impor­tant hap­pen­ings in life, such as acci­dents, sig­nif­i­cant events and moments of creativity.

Boyhands Smoork by Koldo Barroso

He was the grand­son of Ter­ri­ble Spoork, (the troll who defeated the invin­ci­ble giant in the black moun­tains) and Fierce Wooka (the troll who invented the rotten garlic burp strat­egy to fight the hordes of crooked-​head gob­lins). And he was the son of the mag­nan­i­mous Spooky Spooff (the one who ate one hun­dred and fifty six slimy pies in one minute) and Rusty Weeka (owner of the most fetid breath smell in the troll world ever). And he was also the youngest brother of 11th noisy and untidy troll chil­dren. But he, young Smoork… he had the del­i­cate hands of a human boy!

Zakharova Krauser by Koldo Barroso

It is my great plea­sure to invite you to take part of a new illus­tra­tion and sto­ry­telling project on my blog. It will con­sist of a series of illus­tra­tions and short sto­ries of curi­ous char­ac­ters that I will be post­ing every week.

The project needs your col­lab­o­ra­tion and it will include monthly give­aways of spe­cial signed water­color prints of some of your favorite illus­tra­tions and characters.

I’m really excited about start­ing this project and I think your con­tri­bu­tion is going to be as impor­tant as my work itself! With your col­lab­o­ra­tion, I’m sure that the most unex­pected sto­ries and books will take shape. Please be my guest and take part in this project with me!
