Dish soap, gouache, biro pen. From sketchbook to photoshop. I'm trying to be more present here and on Instagram. #kidlitart

It's back to work next week. I'm trying to be organized and all, but the focus is not there! :)

For Christmas Eve I made Tiramisù Ornaments in a white chocolate shell.
Then the Mouse King decided to visit... 😊😋

We don't have a tree or decorations this year, but we have the cutest kitty! :D
Happy Holidays

It's moody and foggy outside my window today. Autum went by in a flash and I didn't have time to appreciate the colors, now it looks like winter already. #addKidLitArt

Hello Bluesky, I've been quiet for a while, but I plan to make this my main platform to share stuff, alongside IG.
I'm not hugely active online, but I try! :)

Typography is not my forte, but I have a soft spot for mockups! :D

Mostly working on tetrapak prints, but these itsy bitsy characters are all over my sketchbook!

Hey guys, I have a small side project called Bakegrounds. I will try to combine simple illustration elements with cakes and pastry. You can find it here instagram.com/bakegrounds/

@brianlarossa.com Hello! This is an unusual thing... Illustration meets baking with a nod to Mary Blaire's Small World castle. It's red and blue, so I decided to share! :D

Hello! I'd like to start a secondary IG account for these Illustration Meets Baking experiments. Can you help me with a name for the page? I have one in italian, but english will be easier to share! Thanks :D

This year went by like a blur. I'm wondering what 2024 will bring and if it'll be my last year as a freelance illustrator. I guess we'll see!
Meanwhile this is Grol, he likes the snow, but doesn't want to be a krampus. 😊

The joy of a new box of crayons! I still remember that, do you? :) Mine were always gifts from Nonno Ilario

Packaging mockups are a new distraction! I've downloaded the tins because I wanted to try some designs with my plants and birds. Instead I ended up illustrating kids snacks! :D

Hello Bluesky, October came and went so fast!!
I spent a ridiculous amount of time fixing and pruning my portfolio website, but now I'm very happy with how it turned out. Let me know what you think!

Hello Mallory and welcome to Bluesky!
These illos are not in my portfolio anymore, but I like drawing horses. Colors needed to be quite muted here, but I can use a brighter palette, if necessary.

Warm light, purple shadows 💛💜
I need some washi tape tho. The masking I used ripped the paper here and there!

I did some digital tweaks on this and the edited version is on IG - www.instagram.com/p/Cxvi-_Ht8T...
