Something Strange

The political cartoonist Roberto Perini has been one of the protagonists of Italian satire.
He was one of the founders of the satirical magazine Il Male, and has collaborated with  many 
other important periodicals, newspapers and book publishers. Perini is also a skilled watercolorist,
and has created a number of illustrated books with the publisher Nuages.
His artworks are filled with surrealistic imagery and with his love for the people, 
buildings and landscapes of Cuba, where he has lived for the past 20 years. 

 These are some of the spreads featured in the volume Animali, 

written and illustrated by Perini and published by Nuages in 2001.

In the Garden of the Mind

I imagine that many of Animalarium's readers are already familiar with the celebrated

 German illustrator Olaf Hajek, but I couldn't resist posting some of his works.

I can't get enough of these luscious paintings, so unique and

full of life, color and artistic inspirations!

Most of these images were created for numerous corporate and editorial clients.

For more info, check out the interesting interview on Sprayblog and the video 

posted by Gestalten, which last year published a monograph on Hajek's work.
