ORDE 2 - The Cover

 Hi,
it's been a while since I posted.
I'm still pretty busy, but I just finished the second cover for the bad boys from Absoluteblack

Editions.
Et voilà, another gross and angry zombie. Very scary, indeed. Don't you agree?

Dylan in Mostra a Caldogno.

Una parentesi tutta italiana per segnalare la Mostra di Dylan Dog, che si terrà nel complesso di Villa Caldogno (Caldogno, Vicenza) a partire dal 10 marzo 2012.
Per celebrare l'Indagatore dell'Incubo sono stati chiamati numerosi artisti del territorio a cimentarsi nella rilettura del personaggio.
Sono un aficionado di Dylan Dog da quando uscì in edicola, nel lontano 1986 (avevo nove anni!) e da allora non l'ho più abbandonato.
L'affetto e l'empatia verso uno degli "eroi" più umani e meno stereotipati del mondo del fumetto non sono diminuiti: quando mi hanno chiesto di partecipare all'evento con un mio disegno (con la possibilità, oltretutto, di affiancare nomi illustri ), ho accettato senza pensarci due volte.
Eccovi Dylan, dunque: eccovi il mio personalissimo omaggio.

Privateer Press

Last summer I had the opportunity to work with Chris Walton, a great art director from Privateer Press ™ and I was asked to do a couple of illustrations for Privateer.
I knew it would have been a little challenge, since I wasn't used to draw kind of subjects like giant robots and so on.
But I really had a great time doing that and I hope to have the opportunity to do some new work again.
Thanks, Privateer Press!

The Joker

After my little tribute to Captain America, I decided to celebrate one of my favourite villain ever.
I've always thought that The Joker's personality was more intriguing and complicated than Batman's.
There's a sense of wonder and confusion when I look at Joker.
He's a fool, ambiguous and smart son of a bitch.
Sometimes you find yourself supporting the evil character, rather than the hero, especially when this one behaves in a way you can often predict: and this is boring.
What would Batman be like, without The Joker?

I've tried to catch the reader's eye only showing his expression, missing one of his peculiar attribute: his mouth.

Fun!..

...I always have fun, drawing this kind of subjects.
Can it be suitable for Magic Cards?
Mmm...
