Lo Scannone

Here's a strange object against from "Fairytales at the phone". In one of the short stories, there's a guy named Giovannino Perdigiorno, who arrives in a Village where everything is the contrary of itself. In Italian there's an escamotage: if you say "attaccapanni" (coathanger) and then you put an "s" before the word, you get the opposite word whic is "staccapanni"....an object where you can take the clothes you need!!
So....in this illustration there's the best object that Giovannino finds: the "scannone" which is the opposite of a war cannon and....when people shots it the war is over! Wonderful and useful!!

Questo è un altro oggetto tratto da "Favole al telefono". In una delle storie Giovannino Perdigiorno finisce nel paese con l'Esse davanti dove tutto è il contrario di se stesso. C'è lo staccapanni dove la gente può staccare i vestiti che gli servono e c'è anche lo Scannone. Quando qualcuno suona la Stromba e spara con lo Scannone.....la guerra finisce! Utile, no?

Il palazzo da rompere - The tower block to dismantle

In a little city named Busto Arsizio, all the children were so restless. They used to break everything: the plates, the glasses, the windows. One day an accountant had a brilliant idea. They built a tower block with nine floors and 99 rooms, with a lot of crockery and ornaments and they forced the kids to dismantle it. After 3 days the children were completely exhausted and they all became so gentle.

There was still something left to dismantle in the tower block. So the adults decide to use it to give vent to their problems.

La famosa pioggia di Piombino - The famous rainstorm of Piombino

One day in Piombino it started raining confetti. They were as big as hailstones. All streets were covered by pink, blue, green and violet confetti. Old women and childs were filling their bags and backpacks. It was such a great day.

 inspired by La famosa pioggia di Piombino (Favole al telefono - Gianni Rodari)

Il paese senza punta - The blunt country

Here's the second illustration, again from "Favole al telefono"

Giovannino Perdigiorno comes to a strange country. Everything was round, even houses and roofs. He sees some roses and when he picks one, he sees that even thorns are blunt. A policeman sees him and gives him a fine, cause picking flowers was forbidden. He also explains that it was the "blunt country", where swords were blunt, where pins did not exist. In the end the policeman explains that the fine consists in slapping the officer..... Giovannino thinks that this would be terrible and so he leaves the most polite country he had ever seen.

Favole al telefono - Fairytales on the phone

I wanna share some "posters" I've created.
I was inspired by one of my favourite children's book: Favole al telefono by Gianni Rodari.
The title is literally "Fairytales on the phone". The book is about a man who's often away from home because of his job. He can talk to his little daughter only few minutes in the evening and only on the phone. So he uses this little time to tell her short strange stories.


This is the first one I decided to "illustrate".

This tale is about a palace completely made of ice-cream. Everybody in the town runs there to eat all the ice - cream they can. There's an old woman who desperately wants a armchair. The happy ending is that nobody has stomach ache, because the mayor of the city decided so!

Here I am

Hi there everyone!
This is the first time for me on a blog...
First you have to forgive me for my bad english,
second you have to know that I don't even like words.
So the question is: why am I starting a blog?
I just wanted to share. To share me and my graphic creations.
A concept shop is a shop where you can't find only one kind of goods, you can find, as the name suggests, a "concept".
So here, in this "concept-blog", the concept that I am sharing is nearly me, through my creations.

Ok....I think I've already written too much:
this me and my world in graphics
