Happy #PortfolioDay!

I'm Giorgio Pandiani, a Comics & Graphic Novels Author, Illustrator and Graphic Designer living in the UK.

I’m passionate about any form of visual communication and storytelling, especially when it ends up printed on paper!

I won't be posting photos of our little Leonardo on social media, but let me introduce him to you with this quick sketch I took when he was just 4 weeks old 👶🏻

FYI: He's now older, bigger, bolder, and... balder 😅

Hey everyone! This amazing comic by @pigeonface.bsky.social really needs your help to get over the Kickstarter finish line. Kamila is one of the most exciting indie voices working in the UK and this totally deserves your support. Please back or spread the word! www.kickstarter.com/projects/pig...

The Ecstasy of Jenny D - New original comic by Pigeon!

Bridgerton meets the dancing plague in this surreal tale of sisterhood, repressed queerness and divine intervention.

Less than 2 hours to go and this is so close!

ThirdBear Press @thirdbearpress.bsky.social · Aug 4

20 hours remaining and just under £850 to be raised!

By my reckoning that’s around 40 backers. Can you be one of them? Do you know someone who could be?

Another, quite complicated, double splash page, thar will propel the story into its inevitable finale.

I love #trains, I swear. But they don’t love me back 🚂💔

I originally created this mini #comic to comment on the performance of public rail services in Italy, but I found it easily adaptable to the state of the British private rail sector.

Thanks to @metoffice.gov.uk for being the comic relief 😁
