meno male che ci sei.

il 27 novembre è uscito nei cinema italiani un film che si intitola "meno male che ci sei", tratto da un romanzo di maria daniela raineri, portato sullo schermo da luis prieto con claudia gerini e chiara martegiani come protagoniste.

beh, non sono un critico cinematografico quindi non farò alcuna recensione al film, ma comunico con grande orgoglio che alcuni miei lavori compaiono in alcune scene del film, come potete vedere sotto. quindi direi che ora avete un motivo in più per andare al cinema!

nelle foto sotto, potete vedere il mio poster per gli slaiver insieme ad altri poster di altri bravissimi artisti. un grosso grazie ai ragazzi di canecane per tutto ciò! :-)

hello pals, may i introduce you a friend of mine? he is a nice guy, he likes his blue suit and he has a plasma gun. it's Mega Man!
this is an homage to pixek art done with vector, and it'll be a part of an exhibition called 8-bit and beyond in Philadelphia!

he-man as an ups guy.

I felt guilty for turning skeletor in a lumberjack, so at the end i decided also to move he-man away from his land and turning him into an ups guy!

It's been a long time I would like to post some of my Moleskine sketches...

I got the flu and fever at 39 °C and I had a dream about a giant robot and lots of other things. Maybe you'll see them in the next posters :-)

Yashica Mat EM

Finally I've uploaded on my Flickr page two shots I took this summer with my "brand new" Yashica Mat EM. this is an absolutely lovely TLR camera from mid-60s, I've bought it on the eBay and it really takes the worth of 70 $ I've spent.
here is an accurate description of the camera, taken from Camerapedia:

Released in 1964, the Yashica-Mat EM features an uncoupled light meter and an 80mm f/3.5 Yashinon shooting lens. The "EM" stands for Exposure Meter, referring to the uncoupled selenium cell exposure meter in front of the viewfinder.It's an all-mechanical camera; even the light meter doesn't need a battery. The Yashica-Mat EM is a solidly made, easy-to-use camera. It can be found for a reasonable price on eBay, and is an excellent introduction to medium-format photography.
It's clearly an evolution in the line of the 1957 Yashica-Mat and the 1958 Yashica-Mat LM. It differs from the latter camera only in its easier-to-use exposure meter. It has a Copal MXV leaf shutter, capable of speeds ranging from B and 1 second to 1/500s. It offers flash sync at all speeds. The taking lens is a 3.5 Yashinon, an 80 mm four-element lens said to be of the Tessar design. It can be stopped down to F/22. The viewing lens is a 3.2 Yashinon.
It accepts bay I filters. Shutter speeds and diaphragm are set by two wheels on the front plate, the values set are shown in a window above the viewing lens. Focusing is done by a focusing wheel on the left of the camera. It has a distance scale surrounded by a depth of field scale engraved in the body. There is a small window in which you can set the ISO and DIN value of the film you use. ISO 400 is the highest value. The exposure meter is not coupled, so setting this speed is more a reminder than of any practical use.
The body is all-metal, covered by black leather. It is quite a heavy camera, about 1.2 Kg. Film transport and cocking the shutter is done by a crank. Winding makes a rattling noise.Looking onto the ground glass in the waist-level finder, the selected shutter speed, aperture and light meter indications are visible. Its viewing hood contains a fresnel screen with red grid lines (5×5) to help composition. For exact focusing, it has a magnifying loupe.The back plate of the waist level finder could be flipped open to expose the sports finder for additional composition possibilities.
The camera is loaded by opening the bottom: turn towards the "O" to open. It uses 120-rollfilm only, on which it takes 6×6 pictures (or more accurately: 55mm × 55mm) here she is:

here is a pic from my first roll with the camera; this was made with Fuji Provia 100 asa slide film:

YO! Bama

Probably I am one of the last illustrator in the world who show his support and tribute to Barack Obama, but anyway, here is my view of the "handsome and even tanned" (as our absurd Prime Minister said) new president of the United States of America.
I really hope that this man will be able to change the world, for the moment, YO! Obama!

Midnight Cemetery Rendezvous

Radio Days are going to issue their new EP on Insubordination Records!

the title is "Midnight Cemetery Rendezvous" and it will contain 6 tracks including a cover of Paul Collins Beat's "Rock And Roll Girl".

here is the artwork that i've done for the album:

here is a brief description of the band taken form Insubordination Records' website:

"Radio Days are Italy's answer to the pure pop perfection that is the Vapors, the Knack, and Cheap Trick. This is Italian, which means it has got a ton of energy (see. the throngs of amazing Italian bands floating around) and an amazing level of fashion sense to boot. Fashion after all is an integral component to power-pop--the skinny ties provide the power! But I digress; Radio Days have created an amazing six song EP titled, Midnight Cemetery Rendezvous that is absolutely infectious. It calls to you, nay; it demands that you listen to it until your skin sweats syrup. Diabetics beware! Still not convinced? Checkout a sample posted in our media section. Its a free sample, but like any other peddler of mind altering, sonic-crank, the next hit is gonna cost you. The new EP will be available on our mail order site June 17, 2008 and available at stores in mid-August."
