Hale BC is, obviously, a pseudonym. Its origin dates back to 1997, when the comet Hale-Bopp graced our skies day and night with its luminous -and frankly breathtaking- tail. Thus, my mother named me a second time; the first time, Benedetta, and the second, Hale. BC stands for ‘brightest comet’, although I have not always believed myself to be so.
I do now, and because of that, I draw what’s in the light—and what isn’t.
