'brucia' - typefaces for the cover title 

I just realized a new project for the courses 'Xilografia' e 'Progettazione grafica tipografica' kept by Marina Bindella @ Accademia di Belle Arti di Roma.

It is an artist book inspired to a big fire that distroyed the forest in the Dolomities last October. 

Each illustration is made by overlapping two or three different linoleum matrices. 

The cover is handcoloured with a handmade ink and printed with typefaces.

I hope I will soon find a way to show it somewhere from real! :)

Crack 2019 - etching and digital prints

From 20th to 23rd June I was @ Crack with my prints.
I brought some prints taken from 'Il minipimer della nonna', some etchings, softground and woodcut prints too.
Thanks to all the friends who came and say 'hi' and everyone who bought and appreciate my work.

Crack 2019 - my prints on the wall

getting ready for Crack2018: yesterday morning I hand-printed (with a wooden spoon) some linoleum and woodcut in black and white. here you are some pictures.
Of course you will find digital prints in colors and some intaglio ones too.

ehm. I apologize. I am very bad with my blog. especially during the Summer, as you have probably noticed. I realized that it is months that I do not post anything. I will try to catch up. now.
first of all I put some pictures from CRACK.
this year I really enjoyed. I shared the cell with Claudia, Marika and Ombretta. we had a very nice time together. here you are some pictures.

my corner

as you can see, I finally succeded in painting something on a wall. my fox was facing Claudia's woman. they both were riding their bikes. they met on the wall's edge. face to face.

I made a little raccoon. it was stuck on the wall, at the end of the gallery. in a collective composition.

now I am looking for the next edition. hopefully, we'll meet soon for organizing.

loving linotype. now it is fox time. working on mould and sample prints.
