Curios to know how I did my latest illustration for @ufc ? Check this video! Fight! :)
This year I wanted to find the most valuable holiday card to send my best wishes, so here it is:
the card of the MVP of the Holidays—A.K.A. Santa "The Wish Maker" Claus. :)
Jokes aside, I truly hope all your wishes come true.
Happy Holidays to you all!

Is balance good for the NBA? In the last six years we had six different teams winning the ring. I’m proudly presenting my illustration for the @nytimes sports. Magically art directed by the legend @timothyoliver
I’m so proud to be so “big” in the best newspaper in the world.
In about two weeks I’ll be back in NYC, from November 5th to December 5th!
I'll be there primarily to fulfill my duties as a juror at the @The_Clios Sports Awards, but also to give myself the proper time to see my clients and build new, meaningful connections.

Among the various projects I am currently working on, unfortunately, there hasn’t been a single one related to the @Olympics
But since I’m so hyped by this amazing event, I thought I would still make my personal tribute to the most celebrated Goddess at the moment, Nike.
This is still something that sounds unbelievable to me: my illustration is on an EA FC24 kit, for one of the greatest Italian football players, Alessandro Del Piero.
Thanks to Graphic Hunters, I got involved in this amazing project.

I truly loved talking with @itsthechampagne and here you can really know what we talk about. Long story short “it’s a work of love”. 🥰
A big shoutout to @ClioAwards for making this happen!

Can you believe it? I made it twice! 'Taking the Basketball Universe' the illustration made for @latimes got selected to be in American Illustration 43!
Thanks once again to the jury, and to @hnalbandyan , the art director of the piece. Forever grateful!
@AmericanIllust
Beyond happiness to know that “Strength vs Strength,” made for @nytimes , has been selected to be in @AmericanIllust 43!
A big thanks to the jury and especially to @timothyoliver who wanted me to work on this piece.

Latest illustration work for @jmkliegman , to be used as the cover of her book Mind Game,
a deep look into how even the best athletes struggle with and persevere through mental illness.

I’ve finally finished my latest personal work called “Defeating Father Time”, inspired by one of the most craziest moment of @kingjames career.
How amazing would it be gifting a copy of this directly to King James?

Inspired by one of the most craziest moment of Lebron James' career, I’ve begun my journey to a new personal work called: Defeating Father Time.
I’ll try to keep track of all the steps to let you see what I’ll do during the whole process.

March Madness from the archives:
In 2016, the New York Times commissioned an illustration for the March Madness.
The chosen idea was designing the trophy as a shuttle, with the "probable" finalist teams represented as astronauts attached to pipes shaped like tournament brackets.

The exciting part was when they returned a few weeks later, requesting another illustration for the Final Four.
I suggested illustrating the landing of the real finalist astronauts on the planet basketball.

Even if it wasn’t initially planned, thanks to the great @waynekamidoi, we were able to create these "after/before" illustrations, and I'm still very proud of them!
