Tell us about you.
I’m an Italian comics maker and illustrator. I live in Milan, I’m born in the far 1981 and my first quality is the anormality.
When was the first time you fell in love with the cartoon world? And why?

I live in Milan, Italy. I was born here, I love living here, but my greatest dream is to move me to USA. For the job the best place would be San Diego or New York, but I would love to turn the whole america, I think is the most beautiful country of the world.
What makes your works stand-out or different from other cartoon artist?
I like to melt the humorous style of the sketch with the realism of the coloration and the textures,. I think that is what make the difference
