topipittori / studio armad'illo

There's an article about were i work on the Topipittori illustration blog! 

Here's the story: a few months ago, me and 8 other illustrators got together and created a common workspace for illustrators. We all met last year at a postgraduate illustration course (here) and decided to keep working together. We are called Studio Armad'illo (yes, like the animal; it can also stand for Arma d'Illustrazione in Massa, or 'weapon of mass illustration ;). So far it's been great! Here you will find links to the pages of my co-workers: http://www.studioarmadillo.it/

We work in Viale Gorizia, in a vaguely fashion-y area of Milan, so there's a lot of ridiculously good-looking people around.  Here's what waiting for the subway usually looks like for me:

postcards and creatures

well this is some exciting news! you can now send my drawings as postcards through the awesome petite poste site. the site lets you send them out both as online cards and actual physical printed postcards. yay!

apart from that - in october i did some black-and-white illustrations for a little book, to be published soon.. here's a little sneak peek:

catching up

oh no, i'm super behind with posting again.. and i do have quite a bit to share. so, first up - my first Italian magazine cover! it is for a Florence-based literary magazine that focuses on children's literature. this month's topic was death in children's books. i'm still struggling with more conceptual work, but i'm pretty happy with how it came out. (and more than happy to see my work in print! whee!)
