SCENES FROM A NEIGHBOURHOOD / POSTER

Self initiated illustration

I've started with a single image as way to explore my style. I tried to tell the simple life from an Italian common neighbourhood, characters that don't talk straight to each others but together they make a real scenario, each one with their own personality. From this image, I tried to imagine possible stories, some close to reality, and some others totally fictional.
I've been inspired by Miroslav Šašek and Saul Bass.

Work in progress.
