Storie brevi e senza pietà #[nn]

From Italian indie publisher Bel-Ami Edizioni, this 2012 anthology collection pairs Marco Taddei and Simone Angelini for Storie Brevi e Senza Pietà — "Short Stories Without Mercy." The cover presents a striking hand-drawn portrait of a man's face in profile, rendered in expressive linework with a feather-like botanical sprig drifting nearby, setting a mood that's both contemplative and quietly unsettling. Simone Angelini handles every visual layer of the work — pencils, inks, colors, and lettering — making this a compelling showcase of one artist's complete creative vision.
