#wip background for the new #ghostsofrome subject.
Steady diet of coffee to work it out in between the deadlines.

Quarantine gave me, at least, time to get back on my beloved folk project #ghostsofrome , after more than two years since the last subject.
The new one haunts us straight from the eternal city’s antiquity.

I’m happy to be this week’s guest at @ilmestiere, takeover-ing their weekly contents to give You some inputs from what I love and live, expecially in this time of forced reclusiveness and isolation, I hope to give You some toughtful yet entertaining diversion, with contents from middleages “marginalia” to mid-century cartoon shows to G. De Chirico live-painting in an italian TV broadcast.
Go on the link in bio and let me know in the comments your toughts.

Finally got my hands on the amazing @collederfomento.official 7” box-set of their #adversus record, entirely made with my #mempo mask illustration. Incredibile packaging and quality, thank you guys!

“Hic nihil me tangere”, latin for “from here nothing can hurt me”. That’s the motto on a #stylite themed skateboard deck I did years ago for an exhibition in Milan.

Stylites, or “pillar saints”, were among the early christiantity saints, chosing to self-isolate themselves on the top of ruined pillars, mostly in the actual syrian/turkish deserts, to prevent themselves from the evils of the world and live in constant meditation.

My country is fighting a hard fight, self isolating itself to defeat a #coronavirus mass pandemic. Let’s do this together, let’s stay focused and positive. Stay safe, stay strong, use this isolation time to do something meaningful and find some peace.
