VECTORIAL ART IS ORIGINAL In digital art, as well as in the traditional one (for example etching or photography), every item of a limited edition series that is signed by the artist is an original piece, not a reproduction of an artwork. Vector technique is in particular an artistic expression that requires high technique, precision and dedication. Only master illustrators of this complex technique are able to express their vision at the best. On the other hand they obtain high resolution images whatever is the print dimensions. This is because Illustrator is a software based on parametric curves, called BĂŠzier, with which artists ink and colour their illustrations. The generated file is used to produce as many sheets as the number of colors used in the print process. The artist himself checks the quality and, signing every single piece, he authenticates it as original artwork.
PRINTING PROCESS The project is designed in every aspect to obtain the best quality of line and color work. Gusto Robusto chose typographic printing (offset) with Pantone colors on Fedrigoni paper (48x68cm). The colors used since the concept are predetermined and limited in order to correspond to the actual inks used in printing for the highest quality and yield.
PANTONE 150 U
PANTONE Warm Red U
PANTONE 7471U
PANTONE 7466 U
PANTONE Black 5C
These Pantone colors characterized the first Gusto Robusto’s edition.
CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY The artworks are printed in limited edition. Each artwork is numbered, embossed with a punch (Gusto Robusto logo), originally signed and supplied with authenticity certificate signed by the artist too. Sheets used to print the artwork are kept in a safe place at Gusto Robusto to be sure that they will never be used again without authorization. A new generation of collectors will be interested in a limited edition artwork because it’s affordable but its value is destined to increase. The more consolidated market of photography shows that a sold out print is revalued by 150% to nearly 900%.
DAVY JONES This illustration came off the question “What does Death do during his spare time?”. He goes fishing! Since that he can’t stop to be the one he used to be, then he fishes souls. What’s the best bait out of money? The meaning, far to be moralistic, is focused on the fact that the fisherman (the death) and the bait (money) are both part of an illusive world. At the end we can say that they don’t exist. The artwork is full of small meanings and hidden quotes. There are also references to tarots and legends. For example the boat is called Davy Jones: the demon who catches the souls of men dead in the sea.

DEATH ON THE BEACH The main character of this artwork is Death. In this artwork he is represented on the beach during his holidays. The illustration, full of symbolism, can be interpreted in many different ways. The subject seems to be the inevitable destiny of human beings rather their genre, fame, religion, origins … The illustration expresses its illusive nature by the paradox for which there are a lot of characters but only Death is alive. The subject is really serious, almost lugubrious, but it is designed by the artist in contrast with chosen of colors and the figurative technique. The result is a sharp irony and a positive suggestion to fight taboo, exorcise death and finally to live.

GAME OF THRONES TRIBUTE With this tribute to Game of Thrones, Sara Penco expresses her skill as a portraitist, able to reproduce even 48 characters in a very small space and only with 5 colors. Their pose is the same, in particular is the one they should had in front of a medieval painter. Moreover their expression and some details tell something more about their personality. Fans will be happy to know that this artwork is relative of the first three series but there are more George Raymond Richard Martin’s adventures.
