Hi! I'm an Italian freelance illustrator, at the moment living in Mexico City. I work with magazines by mail, mostly for USA, Italia, and Mexico. I work in mixed media traditional plus digital program.

Some time ago I shared some of my works with you. Now I present the new illustrations that I made in the years after the first post.

Some were made on commission for magazines and others are personal work.

People put on a facade to mask their true feelings? Why, that has never happened before social media existed!

I think it's more about the pharmaceutical industry here in the US. No regulation over pricing + capitalism ends people dying because they can't afford ridiculously priced medication.

my baby had to be operated at 7 months. I did not spend a single euro on it. the money comes from the taxes I and others pay every year. I'm so glad my taxes will pay for other babies and old/ sick people in the future. That's why I llike our french healthcare system (even if it's not perfect). In america, I can't begin tio imagine what I sould have collected to pay that kind of operation!

Unless you have good insurance, there is no way you can afford your meds. And your life may depend on those meds. "Should I pay the rent this month, or pick up my meds?"

I hate how true this is. Personally, I think if this is the choice we need a third. Legal medical suicide. If a man would rather end his life and collect on his life insurance in order to not drive his family into poverty they never knew, that should be his right.

Yes Lord, it's out of hand. I take care of my mom. One of her prescriptions cost $665 for 30 day supply and her insurance won't cover it.

To be honest, medicine is very expensive to produce, but should be available for everyone.

Medicine would be cheaper if the pharmaceutical companies would stop spending money on advertising.

The title suggests that the chicken is self-absorbed and thinks he's superior, or he aspires to be an eagle, but I like to look at it like the chicken has the potential or the heart of an eagle.

Why is the zebra there still? I'd think aliens would be a lot more intelligent than people, they'd know that the most beautiful animals are in the wild, in their natural habitat.

This one represents ego better than the chicken-eagle one. Though it can be perceived as the person is showing the brilliance he sees in himself.

My immediate association for this pic was something else - I felt like society has sunk low enough to the point that a person would watch with a bored face a reality TV show ( Big brother style) of prisoners suffer in jail. Even more specifically the prisoner is trying to reach for help from the "healthy" part of society but gets blocked by a transparent wall and a bored face.

As a writer, writing isn’t for money, it’s a passion. That is why you shouldn’t be graded on it- it comes from the heart. My English teachers gave me bad grades because I wanted to get creative, and not do what everyone else did.

Why would Bob be ugly? Besides, in the Netherlands a BOB is a Bewust Onbeschonken Bestuurder (Consciously Sober Driver). He/She is a hero that brings everyone home safely after any party.
