La Carrozzina e la Pecora Dormigliona.
da Asbjorn Lonvig, artista
Tradotto da Inter-Set
Questa carrozzina era stata lasciata in Piazza della Rotonda a Roma. Il bambino non piangeva. Nessun rumore.
Nel 1950, Pablo Picasso realizzò la capra di bronzo. La capra passò di lì e guardò nella carrozzina. La capra sorrise. Che cosa avrebbe potuto esserci nella carrozzina se non un bambino?
Forse uno dei simpatici fantasmini del grande Pantheon? No, non sarebbero mai rimasti in silenzio.

My favorite spot in Rome is Piazza della Rotondo. With Pantheon, the fountain, McDonald's, the restaurants, the houses, the people. I love to sit there. Drinking expresso. In the morning. At noon. In the afternoon. And especially in the evenings. Dreaming of a penthouse studio in the ochre yellow building to the left of Pantheon. I saw Pablo Picasso's She Goat on MOMA in New York years ago. Originally it was created in scrap that Picasso collected in the streets of Paris. This story is best in Italian. I think Italian is a beautiful language - even if I don't understand one word. For us, who don't understand one word of Italian we'll start all over - in English. Or. See the story in Italian, if you like.

The Baby Carriage and Sleep-Sheep
by Asbjorn Lonvig, artist
Translation by Ann Watson, Boca Raton, Florida
This baby carriage has been placed at Piazza della Rotondo in Rome. The baby doesn't cry. Not a sound.
In 1950 Pablo Picasso made the She-Goat in bronze. She passed by and looked into the baby carriage. The She-Goat laughed. What might be in the baby carriage when it was not a baby?
Might it be one of the happy ghosts from the huge Pantheon Church? No, they could not stay that calm.
A Bedouin from Arabia was sure it was a snake.
The Bedouin's camel and dromedary talked about it, and they were sure it was a snake, too.
However, a snake would have made some noise. Rattling or so.
The Bedouin took a closer look. A pair of legs? He laughed.
A pair of sheep-legs. Sleep-Sheep put on his coat.
And here is Sleep-Sheep on Piazza della Rotondo in the middle of Rome recovering from his nap number 7 this morning.
Sleep-Sheep has this rug with 80 pictures of himself. When he has counted 57 of them he falls asleep anywhere. Even in a baby carriage.

You can download this story in a Word document by clicking here When Lucca visits me and she runs out of energy.
And she wants to sit down quietly.
Then she asks for a coloring book.
Next time she asks for a coloring book I'll give her the new one in Italian:

Libro da Colorara La Carrozzina e la
Pecora Dormigliona.
da Asbjorn Lonvig, artista
Tradotto da Inter-Set
Questa carrozzina era stata lasciata in Piazza della Rotonda a Roma. Il bambino non piangeva. Nessun rumore. 
Nel 1950, Pablo Picasso realizzò la capra di bronzo. La capra passò di lì e guardò nella carrozzina. La capra sorrise. Che cosa avrebbe potuto esserci nella carrozzina se non un bambino?
Forse uno dei simpatici fantasmini del grande Pantheon? No, non sarebbero mai rimasti in silenzio.
Un beduino del deserto era sicuro che ci fosse un serpente.
Il cammello e il dromedario del beduino ne parlarono, e anche loro erano sicuri che ci fosse un serpente.
Ma un serpente avrebbe fatto qualche rumore. Almeno un sibilo.
Il beduino diede un’occhiata da vicino. Un paio di zampe? Il beduino sorrise. 
Un paio di zampe di pecora. La Pecora Dormigliona indossò la sua lana. 
Ecco la Pecora Dormigliona in Piazza della Rotonda nel centro di Roma. Si è appena svegliata dal sonnellino numero 7 della mattina. 
La Pecora Dormigliona ha questo tappeto con 64 immagini di se stessa. Quando arriva alla numero 57, smette di contare e si addormenta ovunque. Anche nella carrozzina di un bambino.

You can download the English version here. When Lucca has sat down for an hour or so, she has finished coloring.
Her energy is back. She asks if we can go to the playground.
And off we go.
While Lucca and I are playing at the playground,
you might take a tour with your child or grandchild
An hour or so......

 TOPTEN exhibition in Rome ARTROM Gallery has decided to dedicate the first exhibition in the season to the presentation of artists who were chosen as winners or finalists in ARTROM Gallery’s previous International Art Competitions. ARTROM Gallery Guild: “We are impressed with your work. For this exhibition we would be interested in presenting your prints.” Search Engine Strategies for Success: 2006 Readers of my latest Art News Artblog have asked me to write about how I got a relatively good presence on the internet.
Yesterday's statistics:
150,000 hits on Google.com and 100,000 hits on Yahoo.com on the search term "lonvig"
and 64,708 hits and 1,176,552,123 bytes transferred per day on my web site www.lonvig.dk.
2006 - a happy new year... About using computers/internet in art marketing:
In 2006 condescension will be replaced by acceptance???
Hi sculptor...I mean you!!! It is about encouraging children worldwide to built LEGO sculptures and exhibit them on "Children's LEGO sculptures" - an Art Gallery made for that purpose.
Colorful News... Colorful news is a live art magazine, which is continously updated.
Once upon a time... In 2005 we celebrate Danish author Hans Christian Andersen's bicentenary. I have written a fairy tale about this - and that.
The Painting Process. The draft has been exhibited on www.lonvig.dk, that is my own web site or one of the online world wide galleries in USA, France, UK, Italy or Spain. A gallery or a customer has bought the painting.
Artistic concept. My way of making art and design.
My view of art and design is controversial.
When I make drafts I use a pencil, a filling knife, a brush, a computer or something else.
