Disegno Novo is now online

I'm proud member and admin of the Disegno Novo group on Flickr, a community for artists, illustrators and drawers from all around the world who have in common innovative and challenging approach to free hand, analogic, non-vectorial visual art.

Today the new-born official blog of the group is officially OPEN, so why don't you take a look and - maybe - subscribe a feed so you can get updated daily with hand drawn art from all around the world? Just a suggestion. :)

No, that's not mine!

I really love when fellow artists joke with each others' style, and today I had a really great surprise: the artist and Disegno Novo's member Ugandalebre made an excellent - how can you say - homage of my art, enriching one of my most peculiar subjects, "the dandy", with his outstanding, soft cartoonish chiaroscuro.
No need to say how proud I am of this tribute.

Disegno Novo - Challenge the Paper

I don't dislike social networks, when they are not totally useless (who said Facebook?): on the contrary, I'm almost an addict of Flickr.
Recently I'm enjoying rising a group, called "Disegno Novo - Challenge the paper!" that collects talented drawers in the Flickr community, slightly filtered by my own taste (so usually there are lots of tentacles and line drawing in there!) in order to help each other to improve and show artworks. I'm always keeping an eye on what's going there, and I have to say that there's always more than one quite interesting artwork every day, so I invite you all to take a look, you could find some great drawing and illustration like these:
