BACK IN GUM PALACE | REJECTED



Here is some stuff I made some time ago for MAMMOOTH album "Back in gum palace".
All the guys from Mammooth were very happy with both of 'em, but the producer said they were "too weird" and gave the work to another designer. It happens sometimes. Still a good chance to draw, and this is the only thing that matters.

PALAZZO DEI CONGRESSI: HUGE EXPLORER




Hey!
It's me!
When I got to dissonanze festival tonight, I was shocked seeing my drawings used THIS BIG.
Hah!

(SORRY FOR THE PHONE QUALITY PHOTOS, IPHONE CAMERA SUCKKKKS)

ARA PACIS EXHIBITION FOR DISSONANZE 09



Here are some crappy phone camera shoots of my illustrations 2 days exhibition at ARA PACIS AUGUSTEA in Rome.










DISSONANZE 09

Sarah Grimaldi, creative director for Xister, an advertising agency based in Rome, asked me to develop her concept for Dissonanze 09 music festival. My work consisted in 24 black and white 70x100 cm hatched illustrations. The visual/conceptual guidelines were to give a Darwinian scientific discovery twist to the artists involved into the festival. They should have looked like a hand renderd note of new animal species, something nobody has never seen before described in it's peculiar details by hand, pen and ink.

Here is the official image for the festival, neon blue graphic design and classy typography by Sarah Grimaldi:



And here are the illustrations for the artists. Design and Typo by allmighty Sarah Grimaldi.


















If you had the opportunity to see the printed things (20 A3 folded flyers weree created for the event promotion, one for each artist), you can actually appreciate the hatching details. For your web viewing pleasure here are some close shots of the orginal b/w versions (most of them are 25% of the final 70x100 cm thing).
