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.

Harsh, all the talk of control of oil. However I must say that is a clever way of bringing one self into the debate. Good job.

Ever read any Tom Clancy? Hope The POTUS supporters out there don't want to give you a stick with a pen or nothin' ;> Be careful what you joke about during times of war.

Please keep up the joking during times of brainwashing ;)

I'm from Europe, and i can't understand that anyone can support this war. For me it's really impossible to find only just one justification to starve a country during 10 years and then invading it. If you are pissed out about the 11-sept, think that many more Innocent Iraquis died the first day of liberation, and Iraq itself had nothing to do with the twin towers. Bush, CIA and many others acknowledged that Bin Laden and Saddam where enemies, (althoug hte both where put in their places by the USA). Anyway, merry crhistmas and a happy new year.

I have mixed feelings about the war against Saddam as well, though his nickname "Butcher of Baghdad" is amply deserved. However, I have heard over and over that war is about oil, and I think that idea is half-baked. Why are we sending 67 gigabucks (and counting) to Iraq if they've got so much oil? Now that they can, why don't they sell their oil to rebuild and tell us Yankees to take our pocket change and go home???
There is good reason to question the President's motives in this war, but I sincerely doubt that oil is among them.

I think the rankings you are getting reflect peoples political emotions and not the quality of the work, sad to see that. I think the art is great and will refrain from political comment. Well done!

Kind of stupid considering only about 20% of US oil comes from the Middle East.

80% of all Iraqi oil, ever durning the sanctions, went to the United States through layers of energy trading companies (from Time Magazine). Very smart design duo.

Uhm, I think the shadow under the ballpoint pen needs to be more... No wait, now that I think of it, it's because the light is coming from too steep an angle. Hilarious note, though.
