Gosh it's has been a while since I posted anything,life is too hectic these days,I hope to have some time to sketch something...

Meanwhile,I did a picture for a niece of an old school friend of mine(Emilia),not having much time I never finished like I want it to,bah ,at least it's something new to post!

Ciao

Freddie the Rascal

A decade ago Egmont asked me to create a new "rascal" character for the Scandinavian Disney Comics (8 panels ),I did severals Birds Characters(I can't find the original drawings)in the end they chose the "Seagull";

Funny enough I've never had the pleasure to draw him in a story,I used to work on the 6 panel comic pocketbook;

Than I saw him on a story drawn by my dearest friend and colleague Massimo Fecchi few years ago(he did not know I created him);

Apparently all the comics fans that have approached me don't know either,it will be nice to know in how many stories he has appeared;

Meanwhile I 've done a sketch of him;

Andrew Neil

A caricature of Andrew neil ,a witty BBC journalist/presenter;

Barack Obama

A quick caricature of Senator Obama;

Joke

A sketch for a friend of mine(musician..)

Little Match Girl

This month theme for the "Gum or Mint"blog is the wonderful "Little Match Girl"of Hans Christian Andersen,an appropriate time for it,at Christmas people are supposed to be more generous towards those in needs(on paper of course...)
