I did the Alberto RuiZ Contest

Hello Everyone!
For today Bobby CHiu's interview the guest was.... ta-daaaa! ALberto Ruiz! He talked about self publishing and now I know something more! Every interview I feel better, with lots of ideas, positivity and knowledges!

This time The topic was a collage of girls.. I didn't understand well what he was meaning with that... I mean.. A collage of girls.. Is it a collage? Because everyone did different.. I decided to go on and doing an actual collage with paper.. After that I did one digitally.- With the last one I won!!!! So, thanks to Alberto Ruiiz and thanks to who voted for my picture!

Doing collage helps a lot to push the siloutte and to understand the colors (actually I don't like what I did.. But at least I understood why :-))

Ok, I'm going to the gym now.. I have to pump blood to my brain :-)

Weird Dream

We are the guy with the tie.
The Duck is our dream. She's bringing us up.
The ground is what people thinks about us: BLA BLA BLA.
The Sky is the sky.
The direction is our destiny.

SO: We're walking on people opinions about us, thanks to our dreams.


People opinion kills our own dreams sometime. I think we should listen to them but never leave the connection with our dreams!



This where I'm starting, there's lots of better way to make it better, this was the first visualization, of corse I'm going to work on that.-

A Colorful Panda.-

Once upon a time,
the storywriter I usually work with, Tommaso Valsecchi, came with the idea of a Panda sad because of his lack of colors.
I'm so glad that he actually sold this story and I'm waiting for his book (illustrated by a guy that I don't know) coming in 2010.-

Inspired from that story, I made these pictures with my favourite tecnique: collage.- maybe collage is not cool anymore (at least for Italian publishing houses) but I think that is very good to improve color skills and semplification.-

Here some examples of what I did (some time ago):

COLLAGE, is my favourite medium!

As you can see in lot of my drawings, I had lot of influence by collage. It takes a little bit more time but it is perfect to understand colors, silouettes and to find new ways of semplification.- Here in Vancouver, because I don't have enough time and an appropriate space, I can't do anything with this wonderful technique.- For now, I only can show something I made 4 years ago :-) CIAO
