Fantastico primo giorno a #Romics 💙

Ci vediamo a #Romics!

I finally managed to catch up collecting a lot of the books I've lately worked on 🥳 Love to see them all together, but the list is still long! 😅

Next issue of my newsletter is coming soon! You're welcome to join my little community and get first hand news, access special events and see previews of my work 😊

Had the Free League #Vaesen RPG books from the last Kickstarter arrive. I don't play, but i really like the books, great writing & art. And the Mythic Carpagia map by @francescabaerald.com One of the best things about fantasy is real maps of mythical places, or mythical maps of real places...

At #Romics convention, October 2-5, an exhibition will showcase more than 40 of my maps and illustrations, in a journey that retraces the essential stages of my experiences as a fantasy world explorer. See you there! #mostra #mostrapersonale #mostraarte #exhibition #artexhibition #roma
