Introduction - Buongiorno!
Greetings! I'm a 33-year-old freelance artist residing in Italy. My specialty artwork consists of animal, anthro and fantasy creature drawings and paintings, as well as comics involving animals.
I love to produce fun and interactive merchandise based on my artwork! For each item I print, I strive to make it stand out over the classic, conventional... well, convention item.I began working as an artist in 2008 when I was 15 years old. In 2018, art became my full time job, as I began attending conventions, and I've never stopped since.
I have vended and displayed my art at multiple editions of over 15 comic and furry conventions all over the world, including:
-Italy (Furizon, Lucca Comics & Games, Romics, Cartoomics, Novegro Festival, Bologna Nerd, San Beach Comics),
-Germany (Eurofurence, Dokomi),
-Sweden (NordicFuzzCon),
-Austria (Awoostria), Spain (Furrnion, Ibercon), France (Furry Blacklight),
-the United Kingdom (ConFuzzled, Scotiacon),
-Canada (Furnal Equinox),
-the United States (Anthrocon, Midwest FurFest).
Artwork highlights
Above are examples of some of my personal favorite digital works, some of which are artworks made specifically for conventions.
Below are examples of my Art Show pieces, which may consist of one-of-a-kind acrylic paintings on canvas, polymeric clay sculptures, or unique structures consisting of multiple branching pieces.

"Africa" Comic - A family in the wild
When the male leopard Chui threatens to steal her land, and attempts to kill her cubs, young mother leopard Africa is forced to make a drastic decision to protect her little ones. The story of a family, seen through the eyes of the wonderful wildlife of Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania."Africa" began in 2013 and a new page is uploaded online every Wednesday on Webtoon and DeviantART, and most notably, each page is entirely traditionally drawn, from the sketch to the colors.Ten years, 70K readers and over 100K leopard spots later, five chapters of the comic have been printed on paperback, and their production was financed by my wonderful supporters on Patreon!
"Hello! I am a..."
A Panthera Comics bestseller, badges of various animal species can be found at my table!
Conceived by a furry, for furries, they can be a fun way to help identify your species when you are fursuiting, and to break the ice with fellow furries!
And there are... so many. Currently over 350 different designs, and counting. And I will make more.
More.
MORE!
Until every single species is rightfully represented!
The badges can be purchased alone, or as a bundle with my species lanyards!

T-shirts - Wrap 'em around!
Ever felt like playing hide and seek with a fox? Hula-hoop with a snow leopard? Ever wanted to get hugged by a bear?*
My interactive "wrap-around" t-shirts add a fun spin to the classic, general convention clothing. Parts of the designs go all the way around the fabric, giving the impression that the animal is wrapping around the wearer!*Disclaimer that at Panthera Comics we do not recommend hugging bears.

Keychains - Waaaggables and couples!
My line of unique "wagging" keychains is one of my most popular items!
There's tons of them, all invariably adorable and all of them ready to cheer your day up.
And if you're a couple, I've got you covered too! Choose your two favorite animals from a growing list, and watch them join paws in a cute embrace! Great for sharing with your significant other!
Stickers (remember there are specific walls for them!)
What's a furry convention without some stickers? My designs started out as cute hybrid mash-ups of multiple animals, and gradually (d)evolved into full on memes. "AAAAAAron" the screaming fox is a fan favorite, and an absolute mood.
Another bestselling item, stickers come in bundle deals, and are a nifty purchase for a cheap price.
Just remember to only stick them in designated areas, c'mon! Orrr, you could try my handy sticker book! wink wink
