Ponzi’s New Look

Friday, May 18th, 2007

Emiliano Ponzi has ventured down a stylish new path. Although the work can still be easily identified as his, it has taken on a very sophisticated and fresh new look. Already awarded by American Illustration and soon to be exposed in 3×3 Magazine, this new approach is more conceptual and combines changes in rendering techniques and composition to simplify his illustrations, adding in content what has been taken away in line. We love the new look and hope you’ll browse through his updated portfolio to check it out.
