The brief was very simple, "Express your vision about your country". I think that Italy is one of the most stereotyped country in the whole world, so I decided to create a pattern made of neon-sign-like stereotypes that you can find in movies, TV shows and books. You can find out more here. <img src="http://payload3.cargocollective.com/1/0/3151/2372347/55dslitaly.jpg" border="0" width="600" height="704" width_o="600" height_o="704" src_o="http://payload3.cargocollective.com/1/0/3151/2372347/55dslitaly_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload3.cargocollective.com/1/0/3151/2372347/tee.jpg" border="0" width="600" height="670" width_o="600" height_o="670" src_o="http://payload3.cargocollective.com/1/0/3151/2372347/tee_o.jpg" align="left" /> http://www.maurogatti.com/T-Post-t-shirt-issue-70 http://www.maurogatti.com/following/maurogatti.com/T-Post-t-shirt-issue-70 Mon, 21 Nov 2011 21:24:19 +0000 Mauro Gatti's House of Fun 2342369 News + graphic t-shirt = T-post, the world’s first wearable magazine. News story printed on the inside. Graphic interpretation printed on the front. My friend Giuliano asked me to contribute for their issue 70 based on an article about a planet called HD 85512 b, one out of 16 potentially rocky new worlds called Super-Earths. My interpretation is: "Throughout much of film history, aliens have been prominent, with representations ranging from ultra-evil to cuddly. My personal vision is that they are beings like us, but in different bodies/shapes/materials. Some of them are perfect gentle(men) aliens, other are greedy or panicking or jealous or super funny. Aliens are just like us, they want to make contact and hang out."

So I decided to give a tribute to my 2 beloved pugs Ozzy & Nena. If you want to know these 2 little balls of fur please visit my tumblr Mostly Pugs. It's really tough to be sad with a Pug in your life... Pugs are just the funniest dogs...

I come up with the idea of creating a board game based on the number 2 that people could really play with and enjoy. It is basically a journey to get to the shop (filled with odd obstacles, power ups and shortcuts). I created the rules, the content of every square, the die and the counters and merged everything into a pdf that people can easily download and print. What are you waiting? Download the Special Game, print it and play with your friends! <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3151/1357316/special_color.gif" border="0" width="600" height="923" width_o="600" height_o="923" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3151/1357316/special_color_o.gif" align="left" /> http://www.maurogatti.com/Vans-Off-The-Wall-Spring-Classic-2 http://www.maurogatti.com/following/maurogatti.com/Vans-Off-The-Wall-Spring-Classic-2 Tue, 12 Apr 2011 21:00:17 +0000 Mauro Gatti's House of Fun 1300876 Here we are for the second year of the coolest skate event in Italy, The Vans Off The Wall Spring Classic, a 3 days long skate event by the sea in Varazze. This time I played around the word "Classic" and I created a victorian-like skate flyer showing a mid 1800s neat skater between a couple of steampunk miniramps. I named this gentleman Thommy Alva Edison, the inventor of the first skateboard and the coolest pipe smoker of the whole British Empire. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3151/1300876/vanslow.jpg" border="0" width="600" height="843" width_o="600" height_o="843" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3151/1300876/vanslow_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3151/1300876/vansshirt.jpg" border="0" width="600" height="556" width_o="600" height_o="556" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3151/1300876/vansshirt_o.jpg" align="left" /> http://www.maurogatti.com/Space-Cinema-Christmas http://www.maurogatti.com/following/maurogatti.com/Space-Cinema-Christmas Sun, 03 Apr 2011 18:30:16 +0000 Mauro Gatti's House of Fun 1256886 Space Cinema is one of the biggest movie theatre chain in Italy and Young and Rubicam Rome asked me to help them with their Christmas Campaign. In a record time of 2 weeks we delivered 15 seconds of full HD 3D fun to promote the Space Cinema Christmas card. I designed a goofy Santa Claus that tries hard to carry around a huge sack full of movie theatre chairs. The 3D/2D animation was done by Giuseppe Chisari and the Mutado team. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3151/1256886/santadraw.jpg" border="0" width="600" height="410" width_o="600" height_o="410" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3151/1256886/santadraw_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3151/1256886/santaclip2.jpg" border="0" width="600" height="329" width_o="600" height_o="329" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3151/1256886/santaclip2_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3151/1256886/santaclip.jpg" border="0" width="600" height="329" width_o="600" height_o="329" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3151/1256886/santaclip_o.jpg" align="left" /> http://www.maurogatti.com/Help-Japan http://www.maurogatti.com/following/maurogatti.com/Help-Japan Sun, 03 Apr 2011 18:09:16 +0000 Mauro Gatti's House of Fun 1256756 The whole world has been shocked by the Japan earthquake and tsunami with all their consequences.

For the first time Pìcame, one of the most famous italian blog/online magazines, went beyond the net to land into the real world. During the party in Milan, many readers and friends had the chance to touch the pages of the magazine by hand and meet me along with many other talented friends. I made the cover for the issue 14 of the magazine, I wanted to represent the status of the italian digital art movement as a smuggler forced to show his art in some dark corner of the city because he is not welcome in art galleries and magazines. This concept has been adopted as the magazine-project motto: "Visual Arts Smugglers".
