I Illustrate The Daily Life Of My Cat And Me During The Lockdown In Rome (48 Pics)
I'm an illustrator from Rome, Italy and during these very difficult times, I found art a relief. Being in lockdown wasn't easy so I found a way to bring positivity and a sense of peacefulness. My project "The Roman Quarantine" is a daily visual diary describing life during the quarantine: making pizza at home, watching Netflix, reading a book, or doing the groceries, but with a different light, because the simplest gestures can become special.
I love Rome and I try to represent it colorful, alive, and vibrant, despite how we've been living lately. I want to make people smile in these very strange times. The special guest of my drawings is my black cat, Stanis. A diary that tells one story, that everybody, right now, can relate to. Because it is very important to still find beauty and hope in this world. If you like my art and want to see more, you can find me on Instagram.

Italian cats must be different than American cats. Otherwise those croissants would be destroyed.

Looks rather civilised... had the neighbour over- she was drinking 'naughty Vimtos' and I was on the Vodka Cola and we scarfed down some dry roasted peanuts.

If this was my cat, he’d be “helping” me clean (translation: making the cleaning impossible to do).

I love these! The beautiful use of color, the style, the unique personality of Rome and the lovely cat - there is something both comforting and invigorating about them. Number 3 is my favorite - the stars and dome against the sky's dark blue and the cat seeing the other cat in the far window - just wonderful. I would hang this artwork in my home in a heartbeat. Thanks for sharing!

Just from these lovely drawings I get the sense that life in Italy is more colorful and healthy than here in the UK... enjoyed the illustrations very much.

Hello! Thank you for all your wonderful artwork. I love following Stanis' adventures. I purchased the 2022 calendar and was disappointed to see that it had no boxes around the numbers - it makes it difficult to write things on it. Perhaps you might be able to, in the future, offer two options - one with the traditional calendar grid and the other without? Wishing you all the best for 2022 with much good health, peace and joy.
