What inspired all the drawings on your side of this collaboration?

NelloForesto: There isn't any thoughts behind this. It's a bunch of random characters in a rectangular shape.

I only watched closely Erugiery works and kept in mind his funny playful approach to illustration.

Erugiery: A green valley, the love and the flowers, smiling animals , empathy of humans and the birds that sing in spring...AND A SPEEDPUNK COCERT IN THE MIDDLE WITH BROKEN BOTTLES AND BROKEN BONES!

Tell us why you decided to create this collab?

NelloForesto: I wanted to try a happy collaboration with a funny guy! And his style was different enough to work with mine

Erugiery: We decided only because we was drunk.

How long have you known each other? and did you ever fight?

NelloForesto: I knew Erugiery in Venice only two years ago. Never had the pleasure to get in a fight with him but when i saw him first time i felt like i've always wanted to beat him.

Erugiery: We have known each other since 1 o 2 years..we met in Venice in 2009, we took some spritz together and took part in a big riot between humans and rats in the Canal Grande. In that episode I lost my shoes, I take the scab, and I spent the remainder of my holidays with naked feet.

Tell us more about yourself, where are you from? what do you do? favorite ice cream?

NelloForesto: NO ICE CREAM. Only salty food if possible. TRAMEZZINI RULES, of course.

I was MADE IN ITALY. I live in Padova, north-east Italy, I'm a graphic designer/illustrator or viceversa. I worked for fashion and urban clothing companies in the past and this is the reason i started with t-shirts. Actually i'm mainly digital but i really like to use paper, brushes, inks, acrylics and pencils when possible. About me....I love a lot of things, like everyone, but in this moment I love the IDEA of having a decent future in illustration. it's a long road and maybe it will ends with a different IDEA..

Erugiery: I'm from the desolated North Italy, near Milano, between fabrics, trees and fabrics...I spend my time drawing, making noise with stupid instruments,i like to importune people and things, and I _____' hate ICE CREAM! IS TOO COLD! Why would you eat that????

What is your ideal vacation?

NelloForesto: I don't know but I love the IDEA of having one.

Erugiery: Everywhere but far away here...

Any last words? words of inspiration?

NelloForesto: YES. "Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is mearly energy condensed through a slow vibration, we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, life is only a dream and we are the imaginations of ourselves. Here's Tom with the weather"

Erugiery: HEY HO LET'S GO!
