The Ghost Hunter’s Gun
My third and possibly the weirdest illustration for Aegeon Issue 4. This one is for the short story The Ghost Hunter’s Gun by Jason Lupus and Brendan Heard. As usual, prints and other merch are available in the shop.

Ferrand PI: The Holiday
Ferrand PI is a dystopian, near future series written by Brendan Heard. In the latest installment, while pursuing a suspect, Ferrand suddenly finds himself in the wrong part of town—the Stupid Block. Don’t make the same mistake, visit my shop instead.
Ramek the Machine Slayer
Ramek the Machine Slayer first appeared in Aegeon #1, in the short story “Ramek, Machine-Slayer” by Buffalo Jenkins. Since then he’s become a mainstay of the publication, answering fan mail and offering short commentaries on each of the stories.
I’ve decided on a whim to create a fan illustration of Ramek, resting after a successful hunt. The publisher of Aegeon was kind enough to feature it in the fourth issue. As usual, Ramek was drawn in ProCreate on my iPad Pro M1. This time I’ve saved several versions of the drawing in progress, allowing me to show you this slideshow:

The Map of Heaven
Giornale E Caffè
This is probably my best work so far, if I do say so myself. Drawn in ProCreate on an iPad Pro M1 in about 40 hours. It shows a real café in the historic city center of Verona called Giornale & Caffè. In front of it, there’s our family (seated) and our two friends who run the place. This work was printed in a limited run of three A2-sized prints on 300gsm Hahnemüle rag paper.
Christmas Card 2018
Taking a break from the abstract doodling, I decided to draw a custom vintage-style Christmas postcard for my friends and family. Drawn in ProCreate on the iPad Pro. In case you were wondering, my surname (Gallo) means rooster in Italian.
ProCreate Doodle
As a long-time Tablet PC user, I switched sides and bought an iPad Pro. This is the first thing I drew on it, and I think it came out pretty well. If you agree with me, here’s the relevant shop section. There’s also a time-lapse video.
