Artist-musician-writer Danielle de Picciotto seemed to have it all. Cool apartment in the heart of happening Berlin, adoring rock star husband, international art career, far-flung network of long-time friends, impeccable social media profile . . . Yet Danielle found herself in an existential crisis of epic proportions that no amount of binge-watching Breaking Bad could cure. When Danielle and husband Alexander Hacke renounced the idea of a “home” to become digital age “gypsies,” she began to see the clouds of despair parting before her and a better, more fulfilling way of life almost magically begin to emerge.
We Are Gypsies Now! is the transcendently Illustrated and emotionally transparent journal of the adventures and internal struggles of their first year on the road “with no direction home.” Experiencing We Are Gypsies Now! is to embark on Danielle’s deeply personal journey and to possibly heed her call for a more imaginative approach to life in our over-mediated and covertly alienated age.
"Switching between diary, autobiography and speculation, We Are Gypsies Now! explores the nomadic option as perhaps the only possible cultural and social response to gentrification and consumerism . . . . Reading this is an inspiration, a wake-up call, and perhaps even a demand to once again embrace the liberating freedom of chance." ― Jack Sargeant
"It's like being handed a pair of magic glasses and suddenly seeing all of the invisible bounds and barriers blocking our creative vision. Clearly it illustrates how we are slowly starving ourselves of the inspirational sustenance we crave while choking down the dry crumbs of our dying culture." ― Johanna Went
"This book is as close to "home" as it gets. The adventure is in every line. Picturing Danielle drawing this work all over the world is transporting. We can see her . . . a fascinating woman, long hair in her tilted face, across a piazza or on a park bench or a rainy veranda in Mexico with a black pen and a road-ratty drawing book. The artwork is so strong it could tell a story with no words at all." ― Carla Bozulich
"Her drawings are sensitive, spontaneous and intuitive, perfectly transporting you into the world she is describing." ― Interview magazine
"Danielle de Picciotto has the talent to portray her journey in a magical, fairylike style―even the banal moments. Her story deals with the quest of searching for a place to live and finding happiness. This book could already be an answer." ― Vogue magazine

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. "We Are Gypsies Now" is a beautiful, rambling By R. Mason We Are Gypsies Now is the "Be Here Now" of the contemporary epoch. I have come back to it again and again, picking it up at odd moments, studying the illustrations, reading it as a parable for the insanity of bifurcated existence as creative people desperate for freedom but tethered to the constraints of daily life. Those of us who are artists, musicians, travelers will especially appreciate the way the author indulges and divulges the details of her daily life and the risks that she and her husband took to wind up on the road. "We Are Gypsies Now" is a beautiful, rambling, work of poetry, image and storytelling which reveals what it is to actually be living in this world. Right now.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Lyrically written and beautifully illustrated meditation on art and life By Stephanie Schroeder This "graphic diary" is a thoughtful and lyrical meditation on states of being and making a living as an artist while also creating a life full of joy. The book is beautifully illustrated in a truly unique style and contains perceptive commentary on worldwide issues such as gentrification, access to healthcare, homelessness, the commodification of art (and everything else), etc. and is beautifully illustrated in a truly unique style. Highly recommended for not only artists of all stripes, but anyone who wants to explore deeper meanings to their existence beyond money and material possessions.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Thoughtfully written and beautifully illustrated. The fact that even successful musicians need ... By Avid Reader Courageous. A book about life on the road. Thoughtfully written and beautifully illustrated. The fact that even successful musicians need to become homeless now a days to survive is sad. Nobody that does not really have to would give up their home, it is neither a privaledge nor a fun ride. The fact that this author managed to write this book in a light mood is admirable, one can feel the darker undertones. I respect their courage.
