A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO THE AVID BOOK-READER
I was asked by italian publishing house Il Saggiatore to illustrate their practical guide to the avid book-reader with a series of whimsical illustrations. I created the leitmotiv of moth-fairies guarding people's home libraries and developed it on photoshop.

the POESIA series
These are sketches i made during summer of 2020 picturing the poet and the muse (two original characters of mine representing artistic inspiration) in various gucci-inspired outfits and moments of ecstasy.
This is meant to be the ideal series of covers I would make if I had the chance to publish a poetry magazine.
