Alejandro Colucci: Epica Prima

Official website of Alejandro Colucci. This is the result of three months of planning and dedication to try and consolidate many years of hard work. We sweated but enjoyed collecting a large amount of material. Some old pieces have been revisited and we especially wanted to include the artwork of recent years.

Born in Uruguay in 1966, to a family of Italian immigrants, Alejandro has been working in the advertising and publishing market as an illustrator and graphic designer since 1990.
In 2002, he decided to move to Spain with his wife Daniela and their beloved children Romina and Bruno. They now live in a hill-side house outside Barcelona, in harmony with nature and a lot of cats.
His book cover artwork and illustrations have been printed by several publishing companies in Spain, USA, France, Italy, Poland, Norway, Germany and Portugal.
Alejandro works with both techniques: traditional and digital.

Lisandro Di Pasquale

Lisandro Di Pasquale creador de El Angel Negro.

I'm pursuing a career as an artist. I have published comics before as an independent agent. I have a few art exhibitions under my belt and I have been doing (or trying to do) this for over 15 years now. Beaten & Broken is an idea I had for a book. Based on the constant lack of interest by publishers I decided to take it online, and see if the god of cyber-space shines a little ray of light over me. PUBLISHERS: I'm always available
