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!

my black cat...

 my black cat asks what happens

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!

my studio...

...for wedding !

Today I worked to some new pages in my internet site...

I added a new section dedicated to WEDDING!

I  often painted "things" for people that were going to get married.

Sometimes it was a painting as a gift for the spouses, 

other times I painted small watercolours as wedding favors, 

or else I painted little animals for the wedding tables. 

You can see all these things in my internet site, 

clicking on two tiny spouses, in my homepage:

Last night sketches

Last night I did these two sketches. 

She is my black cat, in a pair of her usual poses!

A few minut later, she came on my table and sat down
just in front of me, watching what I was  doing...


The first sketch captures her when she is at the top of the bookcase,
she remains hanging like this, and she seems to be very confortable!
The second one represents her when she is waiting for
someone throws her a paper ball...
(they're very fun her T ears !!!)
