La Falena Rivista

Overig

  • 01-02-2021 t/m 31-03-2022
  • Illustration for the magazine's cover and inside double-page illustrations about “The strange Summer” & “The Strange Autumn”, with references to the lockdowns due to Covid, and the influence of it in our lives and in the cultural sectors. I didn't want to draw face masks, as I thought we did saw already too many; but I did want to show the distorted-reality feelings that we all felt in that period. In the indoors reflective moment, as well as the “weird-fun” moment of 2020's summers.
