In the abyss of Memories the Hippocampus holds the deepest Emotions The Nature loves replicating patterns: the maze coral resembles the human brain and the human hippocampus reminds the sea horse. As the little creature hides itself in the coral, in the abyss of Memories, Hippocampus holds the deepest Emotions. The MNI template was used as reference for the brain coral section. Digital watercolours at photoshop. Neuroscience Research Center, University Magna Graecia of Catanzaro, Italy.

“Freedom” is the main concept behind this product and so I’ve tried to make it somehow a similar artwork. It’s an “experimental” technique with my graphic tablet @ Photoshop. It all started with the artist vision of a pair of handcuffed hands making a bird shadow. Be Plane cartonsleeve mock-up Cover design & illustration for Reino’s EP “Be Plane” (2018) independent production for Wino Records.

New artwork for a teather play by Edizione Straordinaria Scuola di Teatro Enzo Corea, located in Catanzaro, Italy. A theater school from my city that has more than 32 years of activity, where a lot of actors started them artistic history and that I’m happy collaborating with since few years now. Particularly happy about the final poster result, it’s inspired by the Italian thriller book covers that made famous the genre by also giving the Italian name for it. Matter of facts ‘giallo’ (yellow) is synonymous for thriller here in Italy, since for a long time this editor, Mondadori, used a really ..read more

Glad to show some new stuff here! That’s Aris “Social Song” cover artwork for 3VAgency, a communication agency based in Milan, Italy. Happy to receive a brief that shows up a bunch of pop culture super-heroes taken straight from the official videoclip. I’ve used as references images from our beloved Pinterest, and for the first time my new funny articulated Body Kun for a particular, original Spider-man pose. Lately I’ve been using my tablet a lot as temporary picture frame, just set the automatic screen shut down to 10 minutes and I’m good to go! So as you can see in the picture above I’ve s ..read more

A big time joint between Long John Silva aka Argentovivo and deQuantiside. The Bologna based trio meets one of my fav rappers from east Milan. You may have already heard about him as main voice of the JTAG rap group or in his solo project as one of his many alteregos Argentovivo: Phonetikabalah. I’ve started from a painting reference of this huge buddha holding a “life wheel” with a lot of scenes inside. Since the cover is going to be printed on a CD the amount of details should be not that much. So I’ve used the geometry to split in 10 pieces the wheel, and started working inside each p ..read more

Illustration made with traditionals tools for a poster to promote “Scuola di Teatro Enzo Corea” acting classes, a theatre school in Catanzaro (Italy). After few hours discussing the concept we came out with this motto “T for Teatro” (T for Theatre) that recalls straight the V for Vendetta cult comic book and movie. The aim of the school was to show a cooler way to study theatre to the youngsters, so using the iconic V for Vendetta mask would help to use the collective imagery even for kids that are not into it. Sketch concept (A5 Size – 148,5 x 210 mm) After few sketches the client have d ..read more

This is a poster collaboration for a Theatre company in Catanzaro (Italy) called “Edizione Straordinaria”. The show is called “OdioOdisseo” a wordplay that basically means “I Hate Odisseo” (the main carachter of the ancient Greek poem Odissey) as the screenwriter Franco Corapi likes! It’s a modern revisitation with a touch of irony directed by Salvo Corea. In this illustration I tried to put togheter as much carachters as possible, I had a lot of fun working on the concept with the director of the show that suggested me the whole composition. As you can see some kids are on it since ther ..read more
