An Honorable Italian Tattoo Artist | Interview with Marco Cerretelli
Since I’d heard that Marco Cerretelli’s career as a tattoo artist began with a prison style tattoo gun crafted from a walkman, toothbrush and pen, I wasn’t sure what to expect when I went to meet him on a beautiful sunny day in West Hollywood. Born and raised in Campi di Bisenzio outside of...
Immediate Voyeurism | Interview with Photographer Marco Marzocchi
When you come across the photo of someone whose work you find interesting, you’ll inevitably search the image for clues about what that person is like. That’s exactly what I did with Italian photographer Marco Marzocchi. Marco has the slightly tousled hair of someone who is pretty easygoing. One half of his face is hidden...
The Art of Information Intervention | Interview with Italian Artist Paolo Cirio
Whether you call him a media and information artist, sculptor, manipulator or hacker, Brooklyn-based Italian artist Paolo Cirio’s provocative art interventions grab attention by challenging conventional ideas about how we communicate with each other. In P2P Gift Cards he created illegal counterfeit virtual money. For Street Ghosts he printed images of people captured in Google street...

Won’t Stop | Interview with Italian Artist Rae Martini
Introducing the Gold Standard in Creativity When I first saw Rae Martini’s 24 Carat Dirt video I got fired up about his art and not just because in the clip he’s spraying gasoline on a canvas engulfed in flames. Before young artists were sharing their work with each other and the world over the internet, Rae...
Francesco Vezzola | From Cut-offs to Street Style
He might rank as a top blogger (Vogue.it blogger of the day, best moustache in the blogosphere) but Francesco Vezzola makes it clear that he’s not one of ”those” bloggers. While Francesco is from the (very small) San Felice di Benaco, he lives between Italy and Austria and his blog PIMPUMPAM combines photography with QAs...
Olimpia Zagnoli Makes Me Smile: Interview with an Italian Illustrator
Olimpia Zagnoli makes me smile. It’s not a cutesy “Oh, isn’t that sweet” kind of smile, nor is it a “Wow! I’ve just won the lottery” smile. It’s simply a happy smile that comes from finding an artist who mixes visually magnetic colors with a touch of humor and then adds a pinch of...
A Swiss-Italian Improvisation | Interview with Rocco Somazzi
The first thing that I find incredible about Rocco Somazzi is just how un-incredible he seems when you first meet him. No visibly frazzled nerves. None of the obsessive phone checking that many busy people show. No toe-tapping. No yawning. Nothing that reveals how much he has going on in his life. Just a slight...
Flavio Melchiorre | Creative Hypnotist
Back in January, when I first saw these bright, obsessive patterns I was, well…mesmerized. While they are more intricate and graphic than the black ball-point mazes etched into the back of high school notebooks or the graffiti tags crafted in a young artist’s blackbook, Flavio’s digitally developed pieces remind me of similarly self-contained and doodled...
RAW Artists
Red velvet ropes. My mind wanders to trivia-land and considers completely irrelevant questions I will probably forget in a couple of hours, such as: Why red? For the same reason the carpet at the Oscars is red? But, I know I have seen blue and purple velvet ropes before…Actually, why bother using velvet on the rope...

Arcosanti | Paolo Soleri – From Turin to the Arizona Desert in 92 years
With a bowl of soup, a piece of bread and many friends Paolo Soleri celebrated his 92nd birthday last week. While reaching 92 is unusual, what makes this event even more interesting is where it was celebrated – at Arcosanti, the city Paolo started building in the Arizona desert 41 years ago. The unfinished Arcosanti...
