it's because she's got hair

it's been all about comics on the blog lately, so here's an illustration for a change: the May wallpaper I made for the Studio Armad'illo monthly newsletter. You can download it here in a bunch of sizes.

i  got my copy of the nobrow # 9 in early april, and it's absolutely beautiful. the comic by bianca bagnarelli is  a stunner, as are most illustrations. incredibly honoured to be part of the issue.  

here are some shots of my own four-page comic, inspired by a childhood experience involving the staircase leading to my grandfather's flat, and a mysterious door with a sign saying 'SILENCE' above it; 

you can see more on my website.

a testa in giu'

Bologna book fair preparations: just printed the mock-up of my graphic novel for Topipittori today! It's not entirely ready, I'm drawing the last chapter right now. But most of it is here! It's been a long time coming... And it will finally be out this autumn.

Off to Bologna in two days, it will be my fourth fair! Time flies.

coming soon: nobrow # 9

the mess you see below has just become a four-page comic for the new Nobrow anthology, which is now available for pre-order, and is coming out in April. the Nobrow anthologies are such beautiful objects, cannot wait for my copy to arrive! not to mention the talent packed into each issue. humbled and  superexcited to be a part of it! i'll post more images as soon as it's out!

tree + house = ?

studio armad'illo has refreshed it's website just in time for spring, and there's a bunch of new projects on it too, including an interactive poster i made for Giunti Progetti Educativi last autumn. it's a treehouse that doubles as a sustainable household! click through to the armad'illo website to have a better look. 

it was a lot of fun to do, but also a ton of work, with multiple revisions and dozens of extra frames for the animations (for the online game) and lift-the-flap images (for the print version). i'm thinking of making an animated gif of the process, hope to share it soon!
