Nothing like a new character coming from around the corner right before midnight, when the night is still young

More adventure!

...The streets never sleep...

Flying Dragons!

Always happy to see a really good movie, specially when so many of my incredibly talented friends have worked on it and made it the reality it is today. It was epic in its making and this reflects in every frame. Go see "How to train your Dragon" and... enjoy!!

Going widescreen

Going cinematic today.
Can't remember where I took the desert shot, could be anywhere along California, Arizona or New Mexico during my L.A.-N.Y. coast to coast drive in May 1999. Anyhow, always a favorite.
On a more refreshing side, two water shots, incredible Venice in incredible Italy, and back home, 9:30 a.m. on an early summer day.

2 + Unfinished

Quite a bit of material today, two pages of the story (more than 3 years old now) plus an unfinished illustration I started about two years ago and for some reason it just never went further. Nostalgia Avenue... Anyway, I thought it could be nice to post up a rough piece now and then.

2003-2004

Back then I spent a year and a half working for 'Asterix and the Vikings'. True pleasure. Good film, good team.
Here are two pieces, a down shot on the gauls village center square (ready for one of their brutal parties), and one of the many hundreds of designs I did for the vikings, this one a view form the jail area that I believe didn't make it into the movie.

And the beat goes on

The line that should have never been crossed...
And also! three drawings from the old days with Moe and the gang at Daphne's in Culver City, when wining, dining and drawing was all one -and- the same!

Close call

Here we are again, one more week. I hope all is fine with everyone.

The patrol

This is the moment of either letting go or ... not at all.

Toto Sapore

Here is one of the many hundreds (and hundreds, and hundreds!) of designs I did back in 2001-2002 for an italian film called "Toto Sapore", produced in Torino by Lanterna Magica and directed by Maurizio Forestieri.
This was the king's castle and palace, with all the colorful flags a royal from that time (1700's) would have like to have and display.

Following trouble

She just had to go to the back alleys... why, oh, why.

This is getting serious

Moving on, it's two for one today :)

In the meantime

For the sakes of variety, here comes an illustration I did some time ago (-the graphic novel adventure to be continued very soon!-). I had been working on a Cintiq for a while back then and I was discovering how amazing this tablet can be. I couldn't recommend it more. Nowadays any tool that lets you work fast, correct fast and edit fast is definitely more than welcome!
