It's time to sleep.

One of the illustration for my 'It's time to sleep'.

One day a man wakes up, go to the bath-room, looks at himself in the mirror and yells: his nose is not on its place. His face is flat! ('The escaping nose' by Gianni Rodari)
Odd situation, isn't it?

Meet Francesco

Francesco is my favourite character I everytime call for help when I need to visualize on paper any image for my children's book work. He always is kindly free even if he knows he won't the hero of the story! 

I wish you a very Merry Christmas!

Another one from a Gianni Rodari tale

'The blue traffic lights' is the tale by G.Rodari from which I designed the illustration.

More from Gianni Rodari's tales

Here are two more illustrations I'm working on for my exhibition starting next March 19. The previous one is from 'The path who led nowhere', the next one is from 'Pulcinella's flight'.
