well hello everyone, i'm finally back!
i just finished a veeery long job that took me months of hard work.
so sorry for not posting anything and not answering to comments.

said that, next week there will be the international book fair in Bologna -Italy-, a great chance to see what's going on in the world of illustrated books of any kind from around the globe.
i'll be at the Italian illustrators association -Ai- slash European Illustrators Forum -EIF-, at PAD 30/A50.
if you're coming be sure to check it out and come say hello.
we'll have some meetings during the 4 days, like the presentation of the illustrators annual on monday and others interesting topics.

hope to see someone there!
have a nice day and take care
