I'm here again, glad to present you one of the new artworks of my #ciaoghalikom series. ⁠
This one is dedicated to fall 'cause, for a person like me that was used to see Autumn as a season where the leaves fall, the cold is coming, the nature and the animals (including me) are getting ready for hibernation, seeing the islands living a second Spring is still a super amazing experience.⁠
.⁠
Here, in fact, is much different, my coat is still in the closet, the islands are flourishing again, every land that had been parched during the hot Summer days is now being turned into an intense emerald green carpet of grass and a lot of plants, like the Lantana Camara you see represented up here, are blooming. I like this plant and its small red, yellow and orange cute clusters of flowers, but the most exciting part is that even butterflies like it a lot.⁠
Like a magnet, it's an irresistible attraction for our fluttering friends!⁠
.⁠
The first time I noticed it, I was at the Independance Gardens in Sliema, enjoining a warm afternoon sunshine with the sea in front of me and flowers and butterflies all around, it was a truly magical moment that I decided to transform in the artwork you see. ⁠
.⁠
If you like it as I do you can take it home with you!⁠
It's available as an A3 poster or A6 postcard printed on a superb 250gr Tintoretto paper.⁠
Or you can find it inside the 2020 #ciaoghalikom calendar, keeping you company for the month of November.⁠
.⁠
Everything is available at @solovinylandgbooks in Msida,⁠
the shop will be now open even on Sunday.⁠
.⁠
Some products are running out fast, so if you wanna be sure to find your favorite you can ask me or @solo_vinyl_books to reserve you a copy and collect it when it's easier for you.⁠
. ⁠
I wanna thank all the people who already appreciated and supported my work! Seeing your pictures and enthusiasm makes me want to work extra hard every day. ⁠
Thank you a million!⁠ 💛💥🌸🙏

The idea was to keep it secret till the exhibition, but I'm too happy to not share it.⁠
Tonight at Solo I'm gonna launch even this little one. A wall calendar that I designed exactly like I always dreamed, it should have been neither too big or too small, with a simple and minimal layout that leaves space to write, plan, doodle, stick post-it, take notes of birthdays or whatever you want, with a nice illustration each month from my CIAO GHALIKOM series that will accompany and inspire you throughout the year and even after, yess folks! 'cause at the end of the year you can even reuse it, cutting out all the illustrations and end up with a beautiful bunch of A5 prints. (for this we can thank the 'albero azzurro' Dodo' would be proud of me! 😝)
The CIAO GHALIKOM series started as a celebration of the small things and details that make me happy and so the calendar, ⁠
that's why the last page is a space where you are invited to collect, note and value all the little things to be grateful for.⁠
.⁠
In short, as you could understand I'm really excited and super happy with the result and I'm looking forward to showing it to you tonight!⁠
.⁠
from 6 to 9 pm at @solo_vinyl_books in Msida!⁠
.⁠
See you later!⁠

The Maltese skyline is really different from what I use to see in Milano, it's a mix of houses, lines, heights, roofs, old and new, beautiful and ugly, shapes and colors which intersect each other in an irregular weird puzzle with a Dome that pops up here and there. ⁠
A lot of Domes, imagine more than 300 in such a small island, from small chapels to huge Churches like the Mosta Rotunda (that is the third-largest church in Eu), and if there's one thing that amuses me whenever I stand before this glimpse, is to try to guess which town matches the dome! and every time, I can’t help but think of how useful could've been in the past when the gps and google maps were just science fiction.⁠
Follow the big silver domes to go home, I could've say! how cool it sounds, huh?⁠💥
From here I got the inspiration to draw this artwork, 'The Dome skyline, no compass needed to orienteering'⁠.
⁠.
This poster has been one of the most loved ones from my past exhibition so the limited signed prints are now sold out, but you are gonna find it together with its 12 brothers, printed on new supports, formats, and products that will be launched next Tuesday at @solo_vinyl_books .⁠

The #ciaoghalikom stickers are in the house, and I've just realized I have never explained why I chose to combine these fancy elements, so here we go:⁠
.⁠
A pigeon, to symbolize the weird things and customs like the pigeon racing (this thing that someone breeds and trains pigeons to fly and come back home was weird and new for me when I arrived and it fascinates me since day one)⁠
.⁠
A Caper's flower to symbolize the beautiful nature and its wildness (have you ever tried to grow or propagate a caper plant at home? I did it many many times and was always a big fiasco, these plants can grow in every difficult condition and barren rocks but not if you force them)⁠
.⁠
And a heart to symbolize my love and the sacred profane aspects of life on this tiny island.⁠
.⁠
⁠
I hope you like them as much as I do, cause you'll find one in any products I designed for my upcoming exhibition.⁠
.⁠
I cannot say a lot 'cause I wanna keep it a surprise, but if you love the paper products and you wanna brighten your 2020 come to visit us.⁠
.⁠
The opening night will be on December 3rd, from 6 to 9 pm at SOLO vinyl & books in Msida,⁠
I'll be there shy but super happy to meet you as usual, so come to say hi!⁠

The finishing touches ✨
I've just received the print samples for the exhibition and I'm super excited, this time I decided to go for a Tintoretto Gesso that adds a small textured feeling that I think is super!⁠
Now I can't wait to see everything printed and set together, even because in the meantime anxiety will become my best friend so finger crossed 🤞
.⁠
spoiler alert: if you look closely you'll see one of the new subjects I've designed, nobody's guessing what it could be?⁠
