Here comes The Future of Sport! To celebrate this event, 55DSL have asked five of their favourite artists to design a t-shirt to commemorate the surreal sports that take place in our universe. You can buy them here. I'm pretty sure that in the future the Olympics will be held each four years in a new spot of our galaxy. I created 3 vintage-inspired medals, each one coming from a different century and a different planet (or asteroid).

It's one of the few skate events that take place almost over the sea, so this time I decided to play with seagulls and create a bunch of hipster birds. <img src="http://payload47.cargocollective.com/1/0/3151/3254003/vans3_main.jpg" border="0" width="600" height="884" width_o="600" height_o="884" src_o="http://payload47.cargocollective.com/1/0/3151/3254003/vans3_main_o.jpg" align="left" data-mid="16674759" /> I designed some promotional stuff for the event including pins, trucker hats, thsirts, stickers and those funny cards. <img src="http://payload47.cargocollective.com/1/0/3151/3254003/vans3_cards.jpg" border="0" width="600" height="297" width_o="600" height_o="297" src_o="http://payload47.cargocollective.com/1/0/3151/3254003/vans3_cards_o.jpg" align="left" data-mid="16674757" /> <img src="http://payload47.cargocollective.com/1/0/3151/3254003/vans3_card1.jpg" border="0" width="600" height="686" width_o="600" height_o="686" src_o="http://payload47.cargocollective.com/1/0/3151/3254003/vans3_card1_o.jpg" align="left" data-mid="16674752" /> <img src="http://payload47.cargocollective.com/1/0/3151/3254003/vans3_card2.jpg" border="0" width="600" height="686" width_o="600" height_o="686" src_o="http://payload47.cargocollective.com/1/0/3151/3254003/vans3_card2_o.jpg" align="left" data-mid="16674754" /> <img src="http://payload47.cargocollective.com/1/0/3151/3254003/vans3_card3.jpg" border="0" width="600" height="686" width_o="600" height_o="686" src_o="http://payload47.cargocollective.com/1/0/3151/3254003/vans3_card3_o.jpg" align="left" data-mid="16674756" /> <img src="http://payload47.cargocollective.com/1/0/3151/3254003/vans3_tee.jpg" border="0" width="600" height="556" width_o="600" height_o="556" src_o="http://payload47.cargocollective.com/1/0/3151/3254003/vans3_tee_o.jpg" align="left" data-mid="16674760" /> http://www.maurogatti.com/A4GOD http://www.maurogatti.com/following/maurogatti.com/A4GOD Fri, 16 Mar 2012 11:15:51 +0000 Mauro Gatti's House of Fun 3017309 Who is God for you? This is the question that Pomo studio asked to 150 artists and the answer had to be in the form of a drawing. I am not a religious type of guy by any means, nevertheless I am interested in religion and I like to discuss it with other people. My contribution shows that too many times religions are used to control people and more than often behind what seems to be holy and spiritual there's actually a smiling red dude with horns and a tail. The amazing project is called A4GOD, the artists involved and the quality of the 150 illustrations are mind blowing. You can see a preview here. <img src="http://payload35.cargocollective.com/1/0/3151/3017309/a4god2.jpg" border="0" width="600" height="848" width_o="600" height_o="848" src_o="http://payload35.cargocollective.com/1/0/3151/3017309/a4god2_o.jpg" align="left" data-mid="15379212" /> http://www.maurogatti.com/55DSL-Italian-Friends-Family http://www.maurogatti.com/following/maurogatti.com/55DSL-Italian-Friends-Family Mon, 28 Nov 2011 09:42:49 +0000 Mauro Gatti's House of Fun 2372347 My good friends at 55DSL asked me to join their Italian Friends & Family Round II t-shirt project. 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.

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."

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?
