Emiliano Ponzi will be doing a live online tutorial that walks participants through the process of bringing a sketch to final illustration using Corel Paint. Twenty-five users can register to view Emiliano’s monitor for each one-hour session with three sessions in total. The event takes place on Thursday, June 5th and is being presented by Scatto Design, an Italian design blog. Click here for more information.

Emiliano Ponzi illustrated the cover of Italian author Franceso Gungui’s latest novel Nel catalogo c’è tutto (or It’s All In the Catalog in English). The book was published by Feltinelli and is available online.

Emiliano Ponzi was recently the feature of a half hour TV show in Italy called Life Sharing. In each episode, the show’s hosts interview a different guest with the interview being directed by the contents of their guest’s laptop computer. Emiliano’s interview obviously included quite a bit about illustration and is fun to watch. Tune in to the link below on his myspace page to view the episode, although if your Italian is not up to snuff you will be entertained solely by the lovely imagery and the preponderance of double cheek kissing.

Emiliano Ponzi has started 2008 off on a high note with three covers already under his belt and more on the way. He illustrated the cover of Columbia Magazine’s Winter 07/08 issue and, earlier this month, the first cover of The San Francisco Chronicle’s Insight section in it’s new tabloid format. Most recently he illustrated the cover of Currents April 2008 issue. Keep an eye out because we’re sure you’ll be seeing a lot more of his work!

The San Francisco Chronicle’s Sunday Insight section just launched it’s new tabloid format and they asked Emiliano Ponzi to illustrate the first cover. The feature article, written by Thomas Gangale, explores the relationship between progressives and conservatives and ran on Sunday, February 24th.
