Hi! I'm an Italian freelance illustrator, at the moment living in Mexico City. I work with magazines by mail, mostly for USA, Italia, and Mexico. I work in mixed media traditional plus digital program.

Some time ago I shared some of my works with you. Now I present the new illustrations that I made in the years after the first post.

Some were made on commission for magazines and others are personal work.

People put on a facade to mask their true feelings? Why, that has never happened before social media existed!

The title suggests that the chicken is self-absorbed and thinks he's superior, or he aspires to be an eagle, but I like to look at it like the chicken has the potential or the heart of an eagle.

Why is the zebra there still? I'd think aliens would be a lot more intelligent than people, they'd know that the most beautiful animals are in the wild, in their natural habitat.

This one represents ego better than the chicken-eagle one. Though it can be perceived as the person is showing the brilliance he sees in himself.

It's the best we've got so far. Socialism, communism, Marxism; those aren't any better.

My immediate association for this pic was something else - I felt like society has sunk low enough to the point that a person would watch with a bored face a reality TV show ( Big brother style) of prisoners suffer in jail. Even more specifically the prisoner is trying to reach for help from the "healthy" part of society but gets blocked by a transparent wall and a bored face.

Does being sexy ALWAYS have to have to do with slutty clothes?

Can you just not ? Sexy by definition is being attractive, it's a chemical reaction. Yes you are not sexually attracted by a woman you don't know if she is wearing nothing that shows how she is ? And playboy is a huge symbol for the sexy, so yeah you don't show sexy with a pair of jeans and a huge jumper, as much as you don't show sexy by dressing a man under a huge jumper hiding his abs. The goal in sexy, it's to be attractive in a physical way. Ofc you can be attracted in a less intense way, but the word sexy, means what it is. You think that dress makes slutty ? Good for you, not everybody does. Actually, the idea of slutty cloths has been created of jealous women, and men that can't manage to hit on a girl they like, so out of fustration. Sexy is a symbol, a concept, get over it complaining about litterally everything.

A lot of women in this type of work are assumed not to be intelligent. In reality, a lot of them may be putting themselves through College.

I think the artist is saying women can be sexy and smart. People often think we can be one or the other, and look at a scantily clad woman as a dummy.

And what is slutty about this may I ask? Any Kardashian any day of the week looks far more slutty and by no means smart.

some people are most comfortable in less & some in more but you will never know where the sexy mind is if you're too busy judging the clothing choices

You don't know anyone's smart just by looking at them. They could be the nerdiest looking person on the planet, but you'd have to get to know them to learn that they believe the earth is flat.

Absolutely not, if you can see some old movies, or photos of that era, you will see, beautiful women, wearing gorgeous dresses, those actresses had class, and sex appeal ! Unlike the young girls and women of our era !!!

As a writer, writing isn’t for money, it’s a passion. That is why you shouldn’t be graded on it- it comes from the heart. My English teachers gave me bad grades because I wanted to get creative, and not do what everyone else did.

Why would Bob be ugly? Besides, in the Netherlands a BOB is a Bewust Onbeschonken Bestuurder (Consciously Sober Driver). He/She is a hero that brings everyone home safely after any party.
