{12.11.07} Apologies for my Absence
I've been such a bad webmistress lately, where lately involves time since march up till now. It's not that I haven't done stuff on Photoshop, although much less than usual, but I kept on missing time to put updates on this very first page. So I promise that from now on I'll try to keep up with it. Meanwhile, updates are so many that it's just easier for you to visit the Art Page and check out the latest artworks uploaded (which ain't the first on the top of the categories but the last ones on the bottom). What else can I say? I hope I made it up to you. Apologies again. And Enjoy!

Yep. After 4 years of silence my highest muse, Dolores O'Riordan, is finally back! So I couldn't help by dedicate myself to her. But also a little bit to myself...
{07.03.07} MTV owns my every bone
Just one update, I really have no free time lately, but this meant so much to me that got me finding time to work on it.
{23.02.07} LOADS of news
I've been working hard but I just couldn't find the time to make a proper update. Now I'm trying to put everything up to date as there are so many artworks I want to show you!
First there's a blend about Mark Owen's song "My Backpocket and Me" based on a very scrap-book style, then a sort of birthday card for my own 24th birthday and a blend dedicated to The Moscato Sisterhood. A couple of photos taken on the evening of my infamous 24th birthday and then some avatars made out of them, plus a forum signature and a birthday card to Robbie Williams's 33rd birthday.
{07.02.07} Mark Owen once again
Very quick update just to point out there's a new artwork about Mark Owen and his song Makin Out in the blends section.
{06.02.07} Vector, Myspace, Mark Owen and Robbie Williams
I've been working mostly on commissioned works lately. A couple of signature banners, one featuring Howard Donald, and one about Robbie Williams, a couple of avatar icons as well. Then I overrode a myspace page, mine, and finally two wallpapers about Mark Owen, featuring lyrics from his songs Come On and Hail Mary, which I honestly believe are some of my best works lately. Enjoy!
{26.01.07} Brushes and Patterns
A new update to the Resources Page after quite a while. This time I've been working on a Vector Techy Brush set and on a Stripes Pattern set that opens my patterns section. I hope you'll find them useful.

{29.12.06} To Mickey.
To me, Mickey ain't a mouse, but a person. As I found out about Michele Monestiroli again I couldn't help by working on those pictures. Like a payback for all the pictures I couldn't use back in the old days about him, cause I didn't know a thing about Photoshop yet. He's very dear to the heart of my teenage-soul. I hope I'll have the chance to explain this all to him one day.
{27.12.06} A lot of mixed Ideas
I had a lot of new ideas lately, but I kept on forgetting to update the artfolio with them. There's a wallpaper about one of my biggest dream which is UMG, another one about Elisa + Ligabue song "Gli Ostacoli del Cuore", one about my favourite scene from Vanilla Sky and then one featuring Kirsten Dunst as Marie Antoinette. Moreoever there are three little works I did for a forum, a Christmas Banner, an icon featuring works from Jonathon Earl Bowser and a Signature featuring Tom Felton as Draco Malfoy.
{12.12.06} Resourceless Art
Since early november I'm missing my art resources, as I had to format my ipod, where all my graphic stuff were. No worries, cause there's a backup, which is sadly on a computer that isn't mine, so until my friend decides he's ready to burn 20-something gigas of digital art resources, I have to find alternative ways to make art. And here's some... An artwork featuring Boyd Holbrook, a new art for the video project about Alone without you by Mark Owen, and an Alisha's Icon
{23.11.06} Selfish Art
Yes, selfish art time. Selfish cause all these latest artworks feature pictures of myself. Here we go.

{12.11.06} New Commissioned Wallpaper
A commissioned wallpaper for a very dear friend of mine. I honestly think it's one of my best works so far. But I already see what's needed to be improved. Well anyway, here it is, featuring once again Mark Owen.
