Bruno Zocca

Bruno Zocca's illustrations live in a universe where the rules of nature do not apply and imagination reigns supreme. His work features whimsical characters and fantastical creatures, all brought to life with delicate ink lines and flat digital colors that give his art a retro yet timeless feel. Born in Verona, Bruno studied illustration at the ISIA in Urbino and now calls Bologna his home. His creations have been praised and exhibited. When he's not illustrating for book covers or the New York Times, Bruno works with his experimental collective, Ufficio Misteri. He is inspired by the dark illustrations of Alfred Kubin, the vibrant colors of Beni Montresor, and the playful works of William Steig.

His life motto:
Childhood is a complicated business. Usually, something goes wrong. — Maurice Sendak
