My passion for illustration and comics was born with me.  When I was very young I attended the Sardinian Comics School, directed by Bonelli Comics Publishing. <\/p>\n<p>In 2009 I started to create hand painted t-shirts and tote bags and I registered the brand Nekocherry, that became also my nickname as freelance illustrator. In the same year I began an autobiographical comic, \u201cMy life in Edinburgh\u201d, that I still publish in my blog.  I studied illustration, Creative Digital Drawing and Artist Book for a while at the <span class=\"caps\">ECA<\/span> (Edinburgh College of Art). In 2010 I became member of Edinburgh Printmakers and I started screen-printing.  My work is influenced by many personal life experiences; during years of university I studied theatre and acted in famous theatres in Milan.  I worked for many years as a freelance journalist. <\/p>\n<p>At present my time is spent between working as a freelance illustrator and activities of creative workshops.   I am also creator and curator of  \u201cLife on Comics\u201d, a workshop about autobiographical comics. <\/p>\n<p><strong>What does going green mean to you?<\/strong><br \/>\nGreen is happiness, is nature. My dream is to live in a wood and rock house, in a small medieval village, in the middle of nature. Also I love animals (cats in particular, as you may have noticed), so green is also great for the wellbeing of animals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What projects are you currently working on?<\/strong><br \/>\nA small booklet about my life in Edinburgh.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s your favorite tool?<\/strong><br \/>\nInk and nib, beyond a shadow of a doubt.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What 3 words would best describe you as an artist?<\/strong><br \/>\nEnchanted, alchemist, whimsical.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n<p>Nekocherry<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":26817,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_generate-full-width-content":""},"categories":[128],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1582"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1582"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1582\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26818,"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1582\/revisions\/26818"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26817"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1582"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1582"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1582"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
