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.

the problem is not that they are lying but that idiots believe them and vote them into office
No, the problem is that every single one of them is lying, so instead of choosing the better candidate, we have to try to pick the lesser evil. There is no right vote, all the choices are terrible.

Beautiful Life On Social Media
People put on a facade to mask their true feelings? Why, that has never happened before social media existed!
well for instance i use facebook to keep in touch with relos across the country. it is far easier to post some smiling photos and a couple of happy statuses than have someone call me every couple of days and try to not sound miserable, exhausted and burnt out
Load More Replies...Let me share a secret with all the young people. It didn't start with social networking. Your parents have probably been doing it their whole lives. Shhhh...
That's true for many people.. They try to show how good and interesting their life is but they often don't really enjoy what they do. I was trying myself to be at least a little popular on instagram, was taking pics of cool food, tried to make good selfies etc, but tbh.. i got bored of it, i was finding my pics pretty but didn't have so many 'likes' like some of my friend had, so i just deleted insta and I'm enjoying my life even better now! But for many people insta isn't like on the picture tho. :)
This artist is so heavy handed, Connon painting a picture? A bit on the nose no?
The Price Isn't Right
holy c**p that needs to be an image posted on here. a doctor doing a mugging.

Load More Replies...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!
I hope your child is doing OK. That has to be difficult to go through that.

Load More Replies...ohhh i didnt think there was anything wrong with this picture until i saw the comments. i just thought it was a women looking at a picture.. but i see it now.
Very Open Profiles
Okay, wow at these comments. Not every woman who posts revealing pictures is insecure, and if they are, leave them tf alone! Many woman who post revealing pictures do it because it's empowering for themselves. Woman should be allowed to love themselves publicly. Also, if they are posting it for people to see, let them be! Jesus y'all are bitter
If you don't like it, don't look. She's comfortable in her body and is comfortable with showing it, let her.
I don't understand why girls post pictures like this. It honestly has no point, in my opinion.
I put some of the blame on that creepy Kardashian clan. First the sex tape then the giving birth thing where she pulls the baby out by herself and then came the a*s thing and then to top it off Bruce became a woman or at least 1/2 a woman at 65. All I have to say is I'm glad Roseanne is back on TV. I'd rather watch a bunch of funny white trash then the Kardashian freak show. Can you imagine what they will look like in 20 yrs...OMG
Oh, come on. Men do this, too. I just saw a Buzzfeed post that was nothing but pictures of a guy from "Jersey Shore" posting half-naked selfies on Insta. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ No one says you have to look at attention-seekers!
No the net; Instagram, Facebook and heaven knows what other stupid media. Teens do this to impress their girl friends and the boys at school. Social media if not used with discrimination is a very dangerous thing.

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.
Same, I thought it was like, believing you can become something more.

In Gun We Trust
No, we need more self control. More compassion, more empathy, more community, ...more of the things that are supposed to make us human.
Load More Replies...I love guns but slaves were a thing and women were not able to vote when we wrote that document. We have made common sense changes as we have evolved as a nation. Maybe it is time to do it again.
How can you love a gun? You might like having guns, who can one love weapons?
Load More Replies...Ladies and Gentlemen- I'm sorry, but your information is flawed. Comparing Australia and US in gun control is an apples vs oranges argument. Totally different community, and circumstances. There were never as many guns in Australia as there are in the US, there we never as many mass shootings. Australia does, however, have an issue with crime. Particularly with knife crime. There are also a LOT less people in Australia; population of 24 million. The distribution of guns already throughout the US is huge, the criminals will not give up those weapons, you're naive if you think they will. The focus needs to be on mental health, on child protection, on bullying inside and outside of school. Get to the root of the issue; it isn't a gun problem, it's a community health problem. To think otherwise is foolish.
Yes, gun control will save many lives, something needs to be done !
The Zoo
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.
Maybe it's going extinct from humans and aliens are helping it.
Load More Replies...People used to keep other people in the zoo--mostly Africans, but also some Inuits, Asians, Pacific Islanders, etc.
My feelings were the same, until i learned that at the zoos, they are attempting to save some animals that would otherwise soon become extinct !

Load More Replies...Maybe she washed away the story written by herself. That's ok. But if she was forced to do, why? Because it's not right for the women to write? Or to read? Or having other ideas than her ancestors? Or it's just a woman's work? One picture - so many ideas.
Aim High
This one makes me sad... basically it's an aspiration which will never be fulfilled
“Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.” - Well technically that's wrong, coz moon is near and star are far, so if you fall from moon, you will land back to earth, burnt though.
Sorry human, that's not a monkey, it's an ape. You wouldn't call a horse a donkey, would you?
maybe he is reaching for the moon ( as in becoming something more)

Load More Replies...Is Capitalism Inherently Evil?
It's the best we've got so far. Socialism, communism, Marxism; those aren't any better.
There aren't just extreme. A more 'diluted' capitalism would be much better.
Load More Replies...No, capitalism is but a tool, the inherent evil is man's own desires...
By definition on Google: Capitalism: an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state. Capitalist: a wealthy person who uses money to invest in trade and industry for profit in accordance with the principles of capitalism. You could technically use "capitalists" here rather than "capitalism", but you seem to be implying that the two words mean the same thing. Capitalism is the system itself, whereas capitalists are those who follow the system. My apologies if I misunderstood your comment, I just wanted to make sure you understood.
Load More Replies...Money itself is not evil as some think. The original quote is, "The love of money is the root of all evil." 1 Timothy 6:10
This isn’t calling out money itself, it’s calling out capitalism. This isn’t meant to be a biblical reference.
Load More Replies...Yes !!! Capitalism is the sign that humans were not able to rise above the animal system of the pecking order.

Load More Replies...True Crime
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.
Thank you, and to add, this is also like how we watch like that movies with extreme violence
Load More Replies..."You can judge a society by how they treat their prisoners." "The least will be the most." etc.
They are both captives and isolated. One of a screen.The prisoner is desperate for contact and time to do so. The other is probably unaware of all his time passing by in isolation.
They are both prisoners and isolated of true connection with others. One is "content" with being captivated by a screen that takes all his time away. The other is desperate for time and opportunity to communicate and bond.

Sexy And Smart
Can you just not ? Sexy by definition is being attractive, it's a chemical reaction. Yes you are not sexually attracted by a woman you don't know if she is wearing nothing that shows how she is ? And playboy is a huge symbol for the sexy, so yeah you don't show sexy with a pair of jeans and a huge jumper, as much as you don't show sexy by dressing a man under a huge jumper hiding his abs. The goal in sexy, it's to be attractive in a physical way. Ofc you can be attracted in a less intense way, but the word sexy, means what it is. You think that dress makes slutty ? Good for you, not everybody does. Actually, the idea of slutty cloths has been created of jealous women, and men that can't manage to hit on a girl they like, so out of fustration. Sexy is a symbol, a concept, get over it complaining about litterally everything.
Load More Replies...She's actually holding a book on her head, that's the symbol of the knowledge i guess
I think the artist is saying women can be sexy and smart. People often think we can be one or the other, and look at a scantily clad woman as a dummy.
And what is slutty about this may I ask? Any Kardashian any day of the week looks far more slutty and by no means smart.
as titled this unfortunately is our "Modern World" thus we see the book like the bunny is just for looks - or decoration, each a prop.
I saw i video once and it went like this...Girl: (in grey bikini and squirrel headband) Guy: what are you supposed to be? Girl: a squirrel, duh! (Points to headband) Guy: oh, you are gonna get a lotta nuts in that costume!
some people are most comfortable in less & some in more but you will never know where the sexy mind is if you're too busy judging the clothing choices

The Way To Jihad
was a commission i made for a magazines, the articles was talking about the relation between marginalization and terrorism.How often ISIS fuond adepts, among marginalized person with families situation of alcoholism and drugs abuse
I am loving all your works, but especially this one. I think it's an especially brave thing to state the truth especially when it's one that not everyone wants to hear. There is countless evidence (probably listed in the article you did this for) to link the adoption of extremism with troubled individuals disconnected from the rest of the religious Muslim community. They end up finding ISIS propaganda online and they think it is their chance at instant salvation and it could not be farther from the truth. The truth is that the more that (Muslims) are involved, engaged with their local Muslim community, the significantly less likely they are to have anything to do with extremism. Every mosque I know of actually reports individuals with blatant extremist views to the proper authorities. We do not take intentions of violence lightly. So again, thank you for this piece!
Jihadists can be recruited because they cannot find a way out of their addictions, criminalism and social problems themselves. The weird thing is that they are bombarded with drugs to perform abhorrent crimes to redeem themselves, and the most stupid thing is: they believe it!
Please find my comment below as it may shed some light on this piece. In short, it is people with criminal past or problems with addictions, or other 'problems' that ever find ISIS propaganda appealing. Not being a devout Muslim as media would have you believe.
Load More Replies...This is sharp and true. Young people feel alienated and lonely even among their peers. This is also relevant for those, who live in Europe. They are not fully accepted by people in Europe and they don't fully belong to their world, as they are a part of European society. So they find something they can relate to in ISIS. Their magazine (Dabiq) promises to potential followers a feeling of belonging and unity as well as a common aim and wealth.
Marco not always; as you see it maybe! many that become are very intelligent with a bent for destruction and violence. A need to be satisfied in an unsatisfactory life. A life where when rage takes over it can be acquiesced.
Bad Support
Why is it bad to support failure? To quote Yoda from Star Wars: The Last Jedi, "Failure, a great teacher is."
the word is "fail" not failure... it is bad support because support is needed during the process, not at the end... if you are trying and your support system says "fail", it is bad support. It is not about support after failing... no body seemed to understand the concept
Women in tiny outfits does not equal support. Is it objectification. We are failing our women and girls by perpetuating the idea that we are only there to look pretty and be peppy. We can cheer on a team just as well fully clothed without our midriffs showing.
I'm not a cheerleader so I don't really know, but it seems like it would get pretty hot if they were fully clothed.

It's a reference to prostitution. The 'Venus' is reduced to work the streets because of the failing of today's society and the Venus becomes a rich person's 'Private Venus'. We know they are rich because of the fancy hood ornament. You can even see the her pose is one of embarrassment as opposed to the open yet humble depictions of the Venus in the renaissance, suggesting a fall from grace, or a realization of her own inadequacy. She's 'caught in the head lights' of of her unfortunate decision.
