1995 I’ve been invitated in Paris to partecipate in a full immersion course of animation, organized by Walt Disney Co.
Professional experience
1994 I began the cooperation with Walt Disney Co. Italia, starting to draw merchandising / advertising projects, followed from 1995 by drawing for the following publications:
- Topolino (Mickey Mouse stories)
- Grandi Classici (Covers)
- Paperinik (drawings, ink and covers)
- Giovani Marmotte (drawings, ink and covers)
- Minni & Co. (drawings, ink and covers)
From 1997 to 2005 I consider the “PK, The new adventures” one of my best cooperation for Walt Disney Co. since I have drawed almost 1/5 of the total stories published. This experience gave me the opportunity to use my favorite style of drawings, superheroe carachters but in a disney context.
2003 I received an award as italian best disney’s artist in 2002/2003.
2006 I am still cooperating with Disney Co. Italia, drawings for new projects.
