“I’ve worked with literally hundreds of artists on animated features and TV series. I recently had the privilege to work with Angelo to develop an animated feature. During that time I discovered the broad range of his talents, from capturing the grace and reality of nature, to portraying nuance of facial emotion, to producing hilarious “squash-and-stretch” work. Rarely have I encountered an artist who can do it all at the highest level; Angelo is one of those few. What may be more surprising about Angelo is his personality and work ethic. Without overgeneralization, animation artists and graphic designers tend to be idiosyncratic people who prefer to spend a lot of time alone and don’t always communicate well. Angelo is the opposite of all these stereotypical traits. He’s gregarious, warm, fun to be around. His understanding of deadlines is crystal clear; time and place seem to make no difference to him when it comes to producing product. He’s one of those rare talents who simply makes it happen, and happen beautifully, and without a hint of complaint.”

“Angelo is a wonderfully passionate and dedicated artist, with an unquenchable enthusiasm and incredibly hard-working individual who sets high personal standards, yet is always open for direction and constructive criticism from his peers. His portfolio is inspiring with the range of drawing styles, the attention to subtle details, and creative ideas. This Italian has an open mind and a big heart. His commitment to his art is only rivaled by his dedication to his friends and family. What perhaps stands out most about Angelo is his energy, optimism and unparalleled exuberance for life. He has a keen sense of observation, and finds much humor and entertainment in the world around him. He is truly dedicated and passionate about visual storytelling. I think Angelo would be a real asset to the studio and a valuable member to any creative team.”
