About me

Bio

My name is Simone Morelli, born in Taranto on 11-01-1991. Since I was a child, I have loved art and drawing, exploring various creative forms. Disney comics fueled my desire to become a comic artist, but circumstances led me elsewhere. After participating in the creation of the comic “Tadan” with the LABO comic association in Taranto, I pursued studies in Civil Engineering and Architecture in Lecco, never abandoning illustration. After graduation, I continued to cultivate my passion for drawing, specializing in caricatured portraits, character design of invented characters, and collaborating with other artists and/or publishers, working on projects such as illustrations for children’s books, board games, websites, and apps.
