Wallpaper: Rouge a Levres (revisited)

Long time this was created in 3D and posted in my deviantART gallery; a few people in the past asked to have a wallpaper for this, so here I am.

While working on a new iPhone Application (it’s called Say I Love You, you’re already loving it, right?) I had the idea to rearrange and revisit this render.

The power of Advertising: when reality is not commercial

Your first thought about a product is given by its advertising; you see a marvellous package with smooth silk ribbon. Or maybe let’s talk about food packaging: in these times all must be 2.0 style, so even a toilet paper advertise and package should renew the concept of softness and smoothness (so when you gently rub your ass your skin won’t suffer reddening).

True love is to die for

Five years ago, exactly on April 2, I was posting a deviation on my deviantART account; it was my very first post up there and I thought a so easy idea wouldn’t be much shared.
The concept is easy, shapes I kove, colors I love and a meaning that, nowadays, is too actual.
That draw has a special place in my heart, and I cut out my current avatar from that.
I’d like to show you, as a form of self celebration: 5 years of my first public art.

True love
This is some kind …

Nintendo DS bundles: ideas and packaging

Cannot hide my passion for Nintendo DS, since the times of GameBoy and WonderBoy game. But most of all I like their packaging, stylish and preppy for every event.
Those special bundles came out in fancy packaging for every taste, just like the The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass gold DS bundle:

Classy, like the game: the gold/bronze cover reminds of the game ambiances and I bet if there were smells on it they’d have been cinammon!
Mario Bros, pioneer of the one-man game saga got his red bundle with Mario Red …

Exposure – State of the Art

english italian 

The state of the art is the highest level of development, as of a device, technique, or scientific field, achieved at a particular time. It also applies to the level of development (as of a device, procedure, process, technique, or science) reached at any particular time usually as a result of modern methods.

Art is a difficult word, many people try to label Art giving so many different meanings: a well done poster is Art, Picasso is Art, Modigliani is Art, cubism is Art, comix are Art, fashion is Art, poetry …
