Commission: The magic bunny family

Done… A big, quite painful A3 Fabriano paper, done

Commission: the magic bunny family (pen and pastels)

Some detail shots on my progress with the magic bunnies. In this first steps, I do the pen outline, some first shading and add color elements with pastels. Next step, ink!

The monster map

It has been a while since my first monsters began travelling around the world and I think it’s about time to start tracking them. And here I am, creating a map of my latest collectors. Apparently, Rufus and friends are especially loved in the UK, US and The Netherlands. Australia is a quite new destination, while here in Italy there is not much love for us. Unfortunately, I am not a very good database manager and many addresses got lost (in old computers, post-its, notepads here and there): if you purchased illustrations for me and wish to appear on the map, drop me a line and I’ll gladly put a signpost on your hometown, if it’s not already there As for the future, I’ll keep updating the Monster Map with all the new places my creatures will be visiting. Of course, the ultimate goal is to rule the planet.

Commission: The magic bunny trio (pen)

After a first bunny family portrait, I’m working on another group of relatives from Texas. Here’s a pen work in progress

Tattoo commission: Scissors and razor blades… Pencils

Trying my hand on a rather new ground. This tattoo design (ending up on a leg in Denmark) started with a very broad request, sounding more or less like this: I’m looking for a hairdresser Rufus. I normally love drawing hair, but that usually happens when I work on dark ladies… Monsters have no hair, so I decided to focus on tools, scissors and razors. Here’s the first pencil sketch.
