A brief history

Robert de Niro was driving a taxi, Rocky was looking for Adrian, Carrie was lighting up the prom, Kong was smashing downtown Manhattan and I was born.

​

After drawing, quite nice if I may say so, pictures on every piece of paper, wall, fabric or furniture in my radius, the world accepted that if nothing else I would doodle my way through life.
​
A rocket man landed in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and I first laid my hands on an Amstrad CPC 6128. Sure I played the heck of Prince of Persia, Saboteur and Grand Prix but I also made my first digital image by coding a portrait of E.T. in Basic 1.1. A few years later, shortly after Nirvana released Nevermind, I got my hands on a Macintosh LC II. My future was instantly bound to intertwine with the digital world. 
​
The worst Batman to date was on the silver screen when I made my first animated clip. Using an obscure piece of software I can't even remember, but I'm pretty sure had some affiliation to Quick time, I made a funny-looking man dancing awkwardly. And I was proud. I Flashed my animations on the web and interactive CDs while the world wasn't drawn to a standstill by the Y2K and decided to venture into the wild world on my own.      


​For years I worked as an art director and graphic designer for various magazines and publishing companies, as an animator and illustrator in collaboration with advertising agencies and production companies and as a comic artist with stories taken out of my own or out of other peoples' minds. Also I became a father.

 

Which is by far cooler than the rest.  â€‹

Money and borders changed around me, tech became cheaper and better, communities expanded in cubic parsec levels and by the time iPad became the talk of the town "childhood dream" time had arrived. I was about to develop my own animated series. Also I was about to become a father for the second time.​

 

For two and a half years I lead a multi-variant talented team, I was writing, directing, compositing, animating and drawing a legion of ancient legends and contemporary heroes banishing them to toilet humour land but cleaning them up with "in your face" social issues commentary.​

 

Peter Quill was dancing in ruins kicking reptilian rodents, Peter Capaldi was picking up the TARDIS keys and I, not a Peter, was back in the UK for good this time, surfing the start-up wave building apps, websites, animations and presentations.

 

Brexit & Trump dominated the news, Disney declared Star Wars and Unilever splashed the cash to invest in its top-notch, high-end, best-in-class and more hyphenated killer descriptions, People Data Centre. 

​

I designed keynotes, dashboards, websites, surveys, games, art, videos, AR experiences and design classes to tell stories and nurture storytellers.
