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.

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!

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!
