sayhello

This studio saw its first ray of light in far 1997, when I created my first internet page; actually was just a mere dream.
It was a painful, horrorific tragedy: a miscellanea of heavy animated gifs, different backgrounds for every single page and too many colors.. much more than Homer Simpson/Mr. X web page =)
Lucky me I don’t have any image of that “Viper’s Lair” (neither on Wayback Machine is there any trace); I think I’d disown that. First hosted on Xoom, then on Virgilio; then quitted because of a big lack of time.

music

Had some mind rest and listened to all my fave music, starting from Puccini’s Madama Butterfly to Slipknot and Allevi and Einaudi and Hancock and Davis and more and more and more..

All that music was inspiring! Later came the early idea of virg0.org (previously virgo.com) but I needed some place to place as a showcase of the things I was building. I discovered I was pretty good in making website, especially when there was so disambiguation in what was the meaning of a website and what was the look&feel.

Liquid Sky Design was only a thought and took me so long to find a graphic suite and.. a logo!

And why a WordPress installation?
Because it’s more handy and “safe” for me: everytime I was designing something for ./lsd I was quite happy and hentusiastic.. then surfing on the net for some inspiration I always found something better and redraw from start. This happened about ten times, and you can imagine how hard it is to do all new.
I don’t say down for CSS or something but I find myself more confortable with this kinda blog where I can also post my thoughts and the things I find interesting.

Interesting like cherry blossom trees, a trip by train and so many other things.. all those, mixed together gave me a primitive idea of what kind design I’d like to develop.

Designed thousands, drawed hundreds.. and finally had an inspiration which solved every trouble (yet you can see that on top of the page).

Most of my tools of the trade are open source programs (Inkscape, Paint.NET, Pencil, Art of Illusion, Wings3D, POV-Ray, Archimedes, blender, CinePaint, Pixie, Cornice, Synfig – sorry, GIMP is kind of hellish and has not all the complete feats that I require for my works) while the rest is made up of Poser7, Mental Ray, CS4, MudBox).

So.. if you’re looking for custom 3D graphics, a new logo, a website revamp or a wordpress template customization, just feel free to drop your lines or download my CV, I’m always excited by new challenges.
