Since so many of you have asked it on my other webspaces, the insect is a "spiderfly": half spider, half butterfly. :3

 

Hello guys,

how are you? Hope you're all fine. :) I don't know how's whether anywhere near you but here in Italy summer finally has gone, and a very cold autumn has just started. ♥
Ok it's time for some updates. A good one: you can pre-order Exotique 7, it will be out on November. Take a look to the preview and flip through pages, you will see a lot of amazing art and so many talented friends of mine. Don't miss it. :love:

The other news is about me and my job, and it's nice and bad at the same time. I'm busy. REALLY busy. I mean with comic colouring. Actually I'm more a colorist than an illustrator, and this means I have a monthly paid job (it's like a wage, and that's the good part of the news): all plans for the next months are crazy about that. On the other hand, this means I have no time for anything else: I thought I could have October as a semi-free month  at least , but I have to substitute a colleague whom luckily will be at New York Comicon as artist in the very next weeks. I planned a lot of stuff for this month but all the "things to do" stuff (tutorials, finishing some illustrations I started and never finished because of the other job, starting new stuff, and so on...) have turned into a "wannabe wishlist" now. So, I don't know when I will have enough time to go on with my projects, probably I will update this gallery not very often in the near future. I'm really sorry. In this moment I envy so much all people who can live with their own art. I'll try to draw and exercise myself the same, but I'm afraid this is not going to be that easy, and probably I'll slacken my improvements and skills about my style and this makes me quite sad. But that's not only a matter of drawings and paintings, a lot of other stuff concerning my job as illustrator (as make my own shop, find an agency, re-built my website, and so on) will be postponed in an undefined moment. If I will have some free days I thought about a virtual meeting/tutorial on livestream TV, but I can't plan anything for the moment, anyway I'll keep you updated about that on my webs (also on my DA journal of course).
Well, I don't want to complaining a lot about that or find many "excuses" about it (at least I'm working on something related to my job as well, I'm not doing stuff I really don't like just because of money), I know it's my own fault: I'm not able to organize myself differently, I feel insecure about everything, I'm not brave enough perhaps and I choose the easiest way. But I just wanted to share my thoughts and my current situation, because my gallery is going to be on hiatus for an undefined time. Thanks a lot for your comprehension and for your lovely daily support, Scarlet loves you. ^^

Bye!
