The nickname "Innovari" (meaning innovation or renewal in Latin) has been with me since I came across Syd Mead's prototype car design of the same name in his wonderful book "Sentinel." This work, with its air of "a new era of design"—along with the works of many SF and fantasy illustrators (such as Chris Foss, Peter Elson, Angus McKie, Chris Moore, Jim Burns, and Fred Gambino)—drove me over the years to do my own artwork.
"Fantastic fiction" always had a remarkable weight in my whole personal and professional life. I have been a professional SF author, I edited a fantasy and horror movie magazine, and for ten years have been chief modelmaker in my own special effects company.
In the last decade my creativity has leaned towards computer graphics and 3D illustrations in particular—with which I wanted to create professional artworks for books and magazines. I'm happy to say that in recent years this objective has been fulfilled, with many works sold worldwide to private and corporate clients.
Currently I'm building my worlds in Bologna, Italy, where I share a home with my wife Raffaella and our cats Leeloo and Merlin.

Your images are very nice, but to name them after Wernher von Braun ?? I know he was brought to Nasa after the war to work on our space program, but he was, after all, the Nazi scientist that created the V-2 rocket that was used to bomb London and our American soldiers in battle.

You hypocritically bite the hand that feeds you for half a century! Too late and too easy to complain about him now, wile this nazi was a American hero of space and a prominent American citizen! After the war he worked for the United States Army on an intermediate-range ballistic missile program, and he developed the rockets that launched the United States' first space satellite Explorer 1. In 1960, he was assimilated into NASA, where he served as director of the newly formed Marshall Space Flight Center and as the chief architect of the Saturn V super heavy-lift launch vehicle that propelled the Apollo spacecraft to the Moon. In 1967, von Braun was inducted into the National Academy of Engineering, and in 1975, he received the National Medal of Science. He also advocated for a human mission to Mars. If it wasn't for this American citizen who was a preminent Nazi, today you would be launch only fireworks under Soviet control. Your historical memory is very short and works only when it suits you. Your comment is hypocritical and outrageous. By the way: the images I posted illustrate Von Braun's initial projects from the 1950s, which allowed the United States to conquer space and the moon. Should I say that they are not his projects, or pretend that he never existed as hypocritically as you would like?
