Cargo 2016 Calendar

Between the projects I was involved into in the last months there is this illustration for the 2016 Calendar by the comics collective Cargo. Everyone had to draw a single illustration portaying the "recipe of the month" taken from the menù of the Bar Lucio, where the collective is used to meet. The intent was to do an omage to the town of Mistretta, the sicilian hometown of Lucio Iraci, the bar owner. I chose april's recipe "Conchiglie fave e cozze" (Conchiglie, a type of pasta, with broad beans and mussels). I thought of april as a month with a love vibe and decided to portray a love scene on the lunch table. Specifically a multi-culinary kiss scene, between a Conchiglia and a Mussel, that causes sympathy and scandal at the same time. In the background the face of a Mistretta's sculpture watchs the action with impotent indifference.

Jus is back!

Hello Blogosphere! It's been nearly a year I don't publish anyting on this blog and I feel bad about it. In the meantime I came back to University to study Communication Design and had not so much time to carry on with my comic projects (and I have so many in my mind). Good thing is I could use my comics skills for some of the projects we did in uni. I added them to my Behance and Facebook pages and I'm gonna show you some of them in the next posts. 

What about the "Future Project" I mentioned in the last post I wrote last year? I drew some others pages and almost finished the storyboards. Here you can see the new pages.

Future Project (2015)

This is a project for a graphic novel i'm working on from last year with two great scriptwriters, one of whom was a collaborator in "Trame Solidali". It deals with "Asperger syndrome" in a funny way, without trying to diminish the gravity of the topic. In reality, as it will be complete, I think it is going to have more to do with communication between human beings in general. For now you can see some pages in which the narrator character explains some aspects of the difficult interaction between "martians" and "terrestrials" to a martian public eager to improve their communication skills.

Pillar (2015)

This is a character i created for the "Sticky Fingers" mascot contest by Viber. Pillar is a caterpillar with a cute bear face. He loves parties, hugs, and chewing leaves. In this case I wanted to maintain the design simple and catchy so I decided to use just two colors and regular shapes for the body parts. There is also a little ladybug with rabbit face, just to make you know i didn't quit my obsession with rabbits. As you can see i decided to use him as the main theme of this blog.
