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!

well for instance i use facebook to keep in touch with relos across the country. it is far easier to post some smiling photos and a couple of happy statuses than have someone call me every couple of days and try to not sound miserable, exhausted and burnt out

Let me share a secret with all the young people. It didn't start with social networking. Your parents have probably been doing it their whole lives. Shhhh...

That's true for many people.. They try to show how good and interesting their life is but they often don't really enjoy what they do. I was trying myself to be at least a little popular on instagram, was taking pics of cool food, tried to make good selfies etc, but tbh.. i got bored of it, i was finding my pics pretty but didn't have so many 'likes' like some of my friend had, so i just deleted insta and I'm enjoying my life even better now! But for many people insta isn't like on the picture tho. :)

This is brilliant. I wrote a song a while back which had the line "just another lonely little girl." The number of people who emailed saying "that is/was me," was scary.

People want other people on social media sites to think their lives are better than they really are.

You really think it only happens on social media? You think it never happens offline? You think this didn’t happen twenty years ago? Hundred years ago? LOL

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.

Why is it bad to support failure? To quote Yoda from Star Wars: The Last Jedi, "Failure, a great teacher is."

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.
