Amy's slippers


I spent some times today to adjust many of my illustrations...
this was because thirty of my published illustrations will take a part, 
with my agency, to the internet site http://www.childrensillustrators.com/
I will be in the page "Agent Showcase" (M.I.A. - Milan Illustrations Agency)

These three illustrations were part of the book "Amy's slippers"
(Evans Books), one of my favourite!

some pieces of painting...



These are some fragments of a painting
that I painted some days ago.

it's a painting with a green cat, and around him 
there are a lot of birds,someone is an unusual bird, 
someone chirps, someone stays in silent.
Two or three of them haven't a real beak, 
so they are not able to chirp the same way as other birds, 
but maybe they think at something like a "cip!"




this one (above) is a "no-beak-bird"
He seems happy, though he can't chirp!
Maybe he has thought  so strong, in his little head, 
that in the end he ejected his 

CIP !

directly from his mind!







This is a tailor-made painting, and I made it for
a madam which I met in my atelier in Italy, 
some years ago.

early morning sketches...



This is my black cat this morning.
I "disturbed" her attention, while she was busy 
watching birds through the window!

early morning sketches...



I have hanging a food ball for birds in my terrace
and I often see them to come and feed themselves!
