hi everyone,

here there are some recent projects of mine.


A new discover
I've done this image  for the scuba diving Italian brand SEAC, the original sk was different but the ad ask me to twist the concept around the childhood.

Recordkeeping survey

This illo is for Planadviser, art directing from SooJin Buzelli, a mass of data that needs to be organized.

Quando verrai  (When u will come)

this is a new cover for the Minimum Fax editions, italian publisher, the translations should be sounds like "when u will come here".
previously it should be different, with the girl waiting for sombody sitting on the bench while the white stripes of the street are floating on the air like sheets of paper.

the image concept should be similar to this one below, an old illo of mine that I've done for the NYT Book Review in the 2006.

the AD Riccardo Falcinelli needed a younger woman,   a 14 years old teenager, so I decided to change the concept in this way. I've just kept the same color table of the NYT image.

The pursuit of elegance

this is an image for TIME magazine, AD Patricia Hwang,  she need to illustrate the concept of simplicity, "less is better"

Asia America problem

Still for TIME magazine, but for the Asia edition. China and other asian countries keeping exporting goods to the US, but the US consumers are not willing to spend because of the current economic situation. therefore the Asia economy is hard to recover.

Post consumerism  society

this is for The New Republic. owning stuff doesn't bring happiness

the article invite the people to engage in more humanistic pursuits  like art and philosophy and gardening and charity for life satisfaction.

Don't count in your 401 K


this is for Dallas Morning News. u know better then me what's the 401 K. I had to make a research before to do this piece..
