Urban illustration - finding the city identity
I will describe my work in creating illustrations and books about cities. I will show my concepits, technics and approach with a particular reference to Milan, London and New york, my first three illustrated Books for Moleskine, but I will also show other examples. In addition I would like to speak about my inspiration process and the importance to find your personal "daimon" and your unique artistic language.
