HAPPY ANNIVERSARY LEONARDO!

Leonardo, besides being an inventor, was also someone who helped give shape to other people's ideas. He was a problem solver, a pragmatic optimist who accepted challenges in many fields of research.

Even though most of his speculative work has been lost, what has been saved is so creatively inspiring that I would warmly suggest to include it in elementary school education. Leonardo through all his life, asked questions and tried to answer them. His personal experimental method was a precursor to Galileo's. 
This is an illustration I made for the book 'My name is Leonardo', published by Grimm Press. It depicts an hypothetical mechanical field kitchen, one of those that would come handy during Summertime festivals.

Happy Anniversary Leonardo!

HISTORY 4 - 2000 – Defeat of advertisements

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by ads? 
Their pervasive presence online allows us to enjoy free access to an immense amount of contents, but the the price we have to pay is their annoying insistence. A few years ago I painted this image and wrote the following story, inspired to one of those marble plates we find around our cities, reminding us of memorable yet forgotten events that took place sometime in history.
