A bunch of  snaps of two works I've been working on during my time back in my birthplace in south Italy...yes I do have an obsession with masks....

I'm part of this huge exhibition about Tarots. Fortune assigned to each artist his own tarot to depict...I'm stoked to see what came out...Hope you're curious as well! 
Here's an article about it: http://milano.repubblica.it/cronaca/2012/06/18/foto/tarocchi-37430743/1/

Life within - making of...oh, I almost forgot, my website is online now. Give it a peep www.carminebellucci.net, of course you'll find this work, and much more.

Thanks to all of you great people who came to the show, the weather was perfect, exciting venue (in the heart of the hustling-bustling Navigli), of course we had a good a time! Cheers! Thanks Francesco for the snaps!

Sorry for the lack of posts, but I got caught up in the making of my own website. Of course I keep myself busy, always working on new pieces. This one is going to be displayed in a collective exhibition organized by Apparel Music (http://www.apparelmusic.com) due to be held at the end of this month. More info coming soon...

I made this years ago, when the sense of loss of my beloved friend stroke me really hard and was making me sad. I felt I needed to get through to her, to communicate with someone who I missed, I miss so much...

Sometimes I wonder about the importance of being...

As I promised, I'm bloggin' again...Here's the result of painstaking work on a 70x100cm Arches watercolor paper. It's been really really time consuming and soon I found myself living in the work, considering that it's all about death and skulls (but not only that), not exactly a daydream! But with hindsight I can say it was worth it all, it's been a big challenge and I'm happy all went as I planned and imagined. Illustrating death was even more challenging, as definitely we're talking about one of the most famous and thusly rapresented theme in the history of mankind. There's been many masters and artists who have given a deeply strong connotation to the representation of death, hardly likely to be avoided and ignored so easily, not to mention the fact that a tarot that it's supposed to picture death has to refer to all death imagery as quickly as possible, a very hard job if you want to reinterpret it forgetting all what it carries. For the time being I can show only few details, keep an eye out for the whole piece!

I've just undertaken a massive work. Is gonna be a 70x100-piece or something around that. Spending loads of hours on the paper (yes, ON the paper), this is gonna be part of a show due to be held from June in Turin and then in Milan in the next months. 22 artists will illustrate 1 tarot card each, fate got me Death card, is not gonna be bad! pics coming in the next posts...

who we are, where are we going to and where do we come from...Solitude

childhood memories...

I did this for the IV international illustration competition "Nothing to do with it".

MALADY OF REVERY: pen, watercolor pencils on elephant dung paper...I wrote some months ago on Lost at E Minor blog about the importance of the use of sustainable media and the role of design in it...

I know, it's been a looong, long time since I last posted something, let me say I've been very busy working on some works and developing a slightly different style, not so far from the old pieces, just the natural process of things, everything changes and gets to a new stage, I hope it will be a great one. It's a time of changes and new choices, let's see what's in store...

This drawing dates back to few months ago. I did it for my very longtime friend Dani who opened a Sushi bar a little more than a year ago or so. I hope it could be a good omen for his new business, you know I'm rooting for you, Dani!

Can a mask reveal who you really are? Can scraps of yourself be patched together and talk to the world? With that in mind, I started up this interesting project...as always, is all about the tricky business of concealing and revealing...

A big thanks to all those who made it over to the show. The turn-out was great and a good time was had by all. It was great to see and talk to you all! The show is still up until October 2, so get a look and enjoy the works!
