The Dark Winged Skull King

Hello Pulp friends :)

I decided to make it easier for those of you looking for me at shows to find me ;)
So, starting from the very upcoming HEROES CON, look for this image printed on a big vertical banner :)
I might have some print of this (minus my name ;)) for sale as well, if you guys dig the image :)

Cheers,
Francesco

A Tribute to O'Donnell

(click on the above image for a larger view)

Hello Pulp friends,

as mentioned earlier this week, I wanted to do also a tribute piece for O'Donnell, but when I saw my dear Friend Steve Gordon's beutiful Modesty Blaise, I asked him if I could ink it(I love inking Steve's work every now and then, and I haven't done it since our Gen 13 illos), and he graciously said yes.
Of course, being me, I went a little far than just inking Steve's piece, and the result is the above "copertina" :)
Hope you enjoy it. Below are Steve's awesome pencils.

This is dedicated to you, Peter: thanks for your beautiful work.

So Long, Frank Frazetta & Peter O'Donnell

Hello Pulp Friends,

this last week has been a sad one for all the pulp aficionados, with the passing of Peter O'Donnell a few days ago and today's passing of legendary Frank Frazetta.

I was lucky enough, some time ago as you know, to be involved in one of the Frazetta's book (Dracula Meets The Wolfman) and was totally geeked out to know my work was reviewed my the master himself, an artist that has been a huge inspiration for me since ever.

I am planning to pay proper tribute to Frank and Peter later this week, when I will have taken care of a couple of deadlines and have the right time to do it.
For now, So Long, Frank and Peter, you will be both greatly missed.
