I have uploaded some stuff in the STATIC section: some nudes and two new sketchbooks. By the way, did you know that hummingbirds beat their wings 60-80 times per second?

Last March I had the opportunity to help on a campaign for the Humane Society, aimed at raising awareness about puppy mills. I got to hold lots of puppies that kept distracting me and the whole crew. Very unprofessional of them. I mean the puppies. Click below and take a look and spread the word!

Hard to explain how humbled I am to have had the chance to direct the awesome track "Can't do without you" for the awesome artist Caribou. Click on image to watch- working on putting together some behind the scenes material.

Let's kick off 2015 with a post about a mural I just did, shall we? The piece was made only with pencil, and it's now on the walls of Sueo Studio, a graphic design studio based in my hometown Modena, Italy. Who wants a mural done at their office/apartment/secret orgy basement dungeon? I'm available for commissions, just email me.

Extremely pleased to announce that I am now part of a new creative family, Ghost Robot. They produce feature films, documentaries, commercials, music videos, short films, comic books, zines, wearable products and much more, and that's what I'm looking forward to be doing with them from now on. go check the works on their website, happy to be in the company of such talented directors.

very excited to finally be able to share pictures of my first-ever published graphic novel, A trumpet and a feather.

You can read the comic in its entirety online, and if you decide you want to own a physical copy you can buy it at the publisher's website, Terracava.

turns out that with the priceless help of my friend Enrique Grullon, who is a wonderful web developer, I managed to see the light at the end of my website redesign. it's 4am in the morning so my fingers are only going to follow my lead for a couple more lines, but before they run out of juice i'd like to welcome you here, and invite you to explore all my works, who have been reorganized in a hopefully clearer and more navigable way. you may still bump into a few little bugs, and if that is the case I apologize in advance and tomorrow morning i swear i will make 10 flexes more as a penalty for that.

oh, and i was forgetting: a big thanks to my friend and photographer Stefano Galli for letting me use the photograph of me for the homepage. It's from an upcoming project we have been working together for a while now, stay tuned.

Hey italian people, have you seen the new season of the Pascalistan tv series? I directed all the episodes on location in Kazakhstan.

what is the superlative of embarassing? mmh i'll just make one up right now: i'm at my most embarassedstest because i just realized i haven't posted any news on this blog since last, uhm... May?! holy shit. that is ridiculous. let's see if i can make amend for that. the first and foremost reason i haven't updated this blog is because last year i started using Instagram, and basically everything worth sharing with the world i posted there and not here anymore. so, if you want to be updated regularly on what i'm up to, feel free to head to my Instagram account and silently stalk the hell out of me. i would love that very much.

then. what else. oh, yes, a minor detail: i moved to New York City. the big apple is now the place i call officially home, and you have no idea how happy that makes me. 4 years in Los Angeles were fantastic, but it was time for a change and a nice little kick in the ass to my own life in general, so here i am, and i'm not leaving anytime soon. which means, if you're in NYC and reading this and want to connect, feel free to do so, i would love to meet fellow artists from this city. even if you're passing through is fine, i like tourists as well.

about my work in specific: been doing so many things i don't know where to start. first of all, i've been drawing an insane amount. i'm almost done with a new comic, titled The Uncanny, which will see the light of day soon, hopefully. then i have a few short film project which are in editing stage, but i don't really feel like talking about them yet. then i was in Buenos Aires this month to shoot a couple commercials through Publicis agency in Lyon and the company that now represents me in France, Cake Films. now i'm gearing up to go to Kazakhstan to direct some episodes of the new season of the show Pascalistan , which is going to very likely be an experience that will shatter any kind of expectations i have and eat the pieces and spit them back at me when i least expect it. so that's good.

and last but not least, i put together a little montage of my works, just to put a dot on the i after many years of work and give you a quick idea of what i've been doing since i seriously realized that making moving images is the best job in the fucking world.
