These images have been selected to be published in the printed 3x3 International Annual No. 21:
"Political Divide", Merit; "The Pilgrim Road", Merit; "Hate Speeches", Honorable Mention. Huge thanks to @3x3mag, to the judges and to the clients and art directors I worked with on these. Last week I was in Milan at the opening of SEMINA 2024. Ten artworks of mine have been beautifully reinterpreted as flower carpets by the Associazione Maestri Infioratori di Noto, and I also made a live painting performance at the Moschino store, main partner of the event. Here’s an extract of what I did. Unlike the rest of Italy, Milan has been quite rainy in this early summer, so I tried to bring some colors there! Thanks Alessandra Grillo, Beyond The Line Agency and Hines for having me involved in this beautiful project. Book cover illustration for "Il segreto dei Cardinal" (original title "Twenty-One Cardinals") by Jocelyn Saucier, published in Italy by Iperborea. After not being in the same room for decades, the twenty-one kids from the Cardinal family are congregating to celebrate their father in their now-deserted hometown in northern Quebec.
But one of the siblings has gone missing... Thanks to AD Alessandro Foggetta! New piece for SPLC about how to help young people - adolescent females and LGBTQ+ youth in particular - build resilience against hate-fueled violence and cyberbullying, which dramatically impact their experiences online. Thanks to ad AJ Favors and Cierra Brinson!
Plan B: how to escape an unhappy job and change life. Cover illustration for the new book by Valeria Teodonio, published in Italy by Sonzogno. Thanks to AD Ester Mazzoni!
Two illustrations for Scientific American about the staggering economic burden of Alzheimer's, that poses a global economic challenge, affecting rich, middle-income and poor nations.
Thanks to AD Joelle Bolt! Two illustrations for Johns Hopkins Bloomberg Public Health about the impact of structural racism in elderly people in the U.S. Black men in particular have a lower life expectancy, a higher prevalence of chronic disease and are twice as likely to develop Alzheimer's disease compared to white men. Thanks to AD Patrick Kirchner, as usual.
This week on Internazionale magazine, my cover illustration dedicated to insomnia and how it's becoming more and more widespread. Thanks to AD Maysa Moroni and Giovanni De Mauro, as always!
Book cover illustration for Piedad Bonnett's "Quel che non ha nome" ("That which has no name") published in Italy by Codice Edizioni, an autobiographical novel about the loss of the author's son. Instead of going with some sort of conceptual metaphor, I tried to portray the absence of the son through an everyday object like a student uniform laying on a chair. Thanks to editor Enrico Casadei and graphic designer Silvia Virgillo/Puntuale, as always.
Latest illustration for The New York Times about the crisis of the self-storage industry. Many developers, spurred by the pandemic to invest money in new self-storage facilities, have been caught short by this drop in demand.
