Il COLLEZIONISTA di MOSTRI - The MONSTER COLLECTOR II

 

I finally got my book from @Carthusiaedizioni. It's really beautiful.

Now that it's in my hands I can compare it with the mole of work that it required to become what it is.

Most people don't realise how much time and expertise is hidden behind a book cover. A book is the result of an astonishing amount of time and dedication by a multitude of people, in the first place the author who has to find the key to translate the story from an intuition into something that the audience must find worth reading and remembering; then the publisher who has to find the right illustrator (me), for the right story (Lodovica Cima's).

It's a long story, probably longer than the one written in this book.

Thank you @PatriziaZerbi, @LodovicaCima and @SilviaMarelli and everybody at @CarthusiaEdizioni!

IL COLLEZIONISTA DI MOSTRI - The MONSTER COLLECTOR

Carthusia Edizioni has just published my new illustrated book 

'Il collezionista di mostri - the monster collector', 

a story by Lodovica Cima about Antonio Vallisneri, one of the Great minds that these past 8 centuries have made the Università di Padova one of the most respected and known science academies in Europe.

Thanks to Patrizia Zerbi for inviting me to work on this beautiful project and Silvia Marelli for all her tireless support. 

The author Lodovica Cima's playful and flowing writing style has been a pleasure to read and transform into images.

This coming Monday evening we'll all share the stage for the book's presentation during a live-stream on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/UniPadova 

and Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/carthusiaedizioni/posts/10159091000389889

Happy day!

ELON MUSK - 伊隆·馬斯克

People that get, got or will get in the news.

Elon Musk (Quercio Muschio in Italian), 伊隆·馬斯克

A visionary man with a mission that's been translated into a very complex project involving electric cars, solar energy, tunnels, integrated energy storage and distribution, cheap and effective (and spectacular) access to space, high-reliability autonomous guidance systems, ubiquitous high-speed internet access, smart resource management and lots more.

 

His vision? Building a human colony on Mars before the end of this decade and, when time comes, retire there.

 

At present he's a beacon of inspiration such as we've never seen. His openness is unknown of in a technological industry so shy when sharing their progress, successes and failures.

No matter what one may think of the person, this guy is changing the world a bit at the time, day after day and, honestly, it's a Great show!

 

This is another portrait of a series made in a stylised and geometric fashion. A new direction that involves numbers, geometry and a more calibrated attention to colour selection. Let's see where this will lead.

 

About colour, the background red is a full cc0000, it's the Tesla red.

MARILYN MONROE - MARILENA MONRO - 瑪麗蓮·夢露

 

People that get, got or will get in the news.

 

Marilyn Monroe (Marilena Monro in Italian), 瑪麗蓮·夢露

Norma Jeane, actress, model, fashion icon and a symbol for her era, inspiration for many a dream for others.

 

I have started to work on a series of portraits of well-known people made in a stylised and geometric fashion. A new direction that involves numbers, geometry and a more calibrated attention to colour selection. Let's see where this will lead.

KNOCKED DOWN

A shame for America (when a spoilt egotist on a constant tantrum is allowed to get your Home keys one can expect the worst)...

Sadly, copycats around the world are eager to emulate.

GREETINGS for the NEW AGE of AQUARIUS, etc...

Greetings and good wishes for all.

Even though we are confined, we still are free to think.

Happy Solstice, opening the New Age of Aquarius and all the rest!

"See the world. It's more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories. Ask no guarantees, ask for no security, there never was such an animal. And if there were, it would be related to the great sloth which hangs upside down in a tree all day every day, sleeping his life away. To hell with that."

Granger to Montag in Ray Bradbury's 'Farenheit 451', 1953

The ART of RECYCLING - WIP

I've just begun a new painting on a piece of recycled canvas. Sometimes good ideas don't reach completion. Time changes everything. A flying peacock-airship will thus become a portrait of a man with a very tremendous opinion of himself and a very bad one of the rest of humanity, especially women, minorities and pretty much anyone else.

First step: outline drawing and background area colour. 

Let's see what happens next.

GREAT LEADER MAO TSE TUNG - WIP 2

Another step in the painting process of my Mao Tse Tung' portrait. Today is the day details must be added to the basic field colours. Details might somehow contradict the overall stylization of the figure, but will still contribute to the painting's final mood and personality by supplying much more information about the portrayed character.

Some of the original turquoise hue will still show through the colour gaps, making all surface tones more vibrant, especially in the red and skin coloured areas.

After this one is finished, I'll start working on  a new portrait. My sketch is already done and the canvas is taut.
