San Lorenzo's night

Notte di San Lorenzo01

Notte di San Lorenzo02

"During a workshop with the illustrator Maja, she gave us the task to think of 12 illustrations for a calendar that were part of a bigger illustration. The difficult was that each and every illustration had to represent something to his own.
So, at the end, everyone had 12 "stories" that were part of a bigger story. ^_^
It was sooo exciting!!! XD
I had the idea to show what really happen during the 10th of August, "St. Lorenzo's night".
As every italian knows, St. Lorenzo's night is the night of the shooting stars.
In my illustration the stars are falling some of them hitting the floor, some other on the trees and one is also helped by a bat! XD ahahah!
The funny thing is that people don't notice it. ^_^
The black and white picture is the project in total and i used ink.
For the coloured illustration, I used pencils."
