After almost 20 years spent working as freelance illustrator with traditional media (you can see a gallery here), I switched to computer graphic that, since then on, became quite my favourite technique.
In 2006 I started to work as book cover illustrator for Arnoldo Mondadori Editore, making covers with 3d and digital paintings.

I had also the opportunity to work at some interesting project: i. e., in collaboration with Image Development Studio in Milano (Italy), the animated presentation for the "CampoVolo 2005" concert of italian singer Luciano Ligabue; or the first opensource cg animation in history, "Elephants Dream", by joining in 2006 for two weeks the Orange Team in Amsterdam, where I helped to finalize the production with models, textures, materials and so on.
Here the "Elephants Dream" home.
