Introduction - Buongiorno!

Greetings! I'm a 32-year-old freelance artist residing in Italy. My specialty artwork consists of animal and fantasy creature drawings, comics involving animals, traditional paintings of animals and anthropomorphic "furry" characters.
I love to produce fun and interactive merchandise based on my artwork! My first production was a paperback edition of my webcomic "Africa", and I later expanded on to create many kinds of animal-based art and merchandise, showcased below. 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, I turned art into my full time job, attending my first 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 my native Italy (Furizon, Lucca Comics & Games, Romics, Cartoomics, Novegro Festival, Bologna Nerd, San Beach Comics, Forlive Comics), Germany (Eurofurence, Dokomi), Sweden (NordicFuzzCon), Austria (Awoostria), Spain (Furrnion), France (Furry Blacklight), the United Kingdom (ConFuzzled, Scotiacon), Canada (Furnal Equinox) and 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.

Convention tables

Below are examples of my table setup of my most recent conventions, shown from the latest first.

"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 recently celebrated its 10th anniversary. The comic updates 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, four chapters of the comic have been printed on paperback, and their production was financed by my wonderful supporters on Patreon!

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.

Classic t-shirt designs

"Hello! I am a..."

A Panthera Comics exclusive, 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 200 different designs, and counting. And I will make more.
More.
MORE!
Until every single species is rightfully represented! Legend has it that new species are discovered after their "Hello" badge is created...! Muhahahaha!
...
The badges can be purchased alone, or as a bundle with my species lanyards!

Keychains - Gotta wag 'em all!

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.
From foxes to lemurs, from dragons to opossums - gotta wag 'em all!

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.
As another bestselling item, stickers come in bundle deals, and are a nice added reward for folks who spend a set amount at my table.Just remember to only stick them in designated areas, c'mon! Orrr, you could try my handy sticker book! wink wink

Enamel, acrylic, button, wooden pins and magnets

Here is a collection of all of my smaller merch! Pins of all kinds can be found here, from enamel to acrylic to wooden to button, and even the brand new plush button pins, which are soft and squishy to the touch! Makes nose-booping completely irresistible!
My Feline Season enamel set is another fan favorite, comprising the Winter Snow Leopard, Summer Lion, Spring Jaguar and Fall Tiger.
My newest addition are the Fridge Bandits magnet set! They are all cute, magnetic, and they will steal all of your snacks!
