Author and Illustrator

Last month I had the pleasure of meeting the Illustrator, Dania Piotti for the first time in person.  That’s correct, Author met Illustrator.  Sounds like a cheesy Lifetime Movie!?  Actually, it was for a good reason.  Dania had the wonderful opportunity of debuting her adult art at a great gallery in Prescott, Arizona….Ian Russell Gallery of Fine Art (another great friend of mine).  It was an amazing event!  Loads of fun, great people and a wonderful experience!

I’ve known Dania for roughly three years now, I must say meeting her in person was a pure delight.  I was fortunate enough to spend a few days with her, chat her ear off, annoy the crap out of her (along with my wife ) and learn about an entirely different world – the world of art (this coming from a guy that has issues drawing a stick figure…yet has no issues writing a haiku about poop #truestory).  Ironic enough as it may be, she brought Lil Boo to life in both stories and in real life she won him over!!  Yes, Dania is #lilboo approved I look forward to crossing paths down the road someday soon, enjoying a triple wet cappuccino!

Most of you may recognize her children’s art decor line CariBimbi.  Her adult work is VERY impressive, and quite frankly I’m in awe of it, as always – along with probably being her #1 fan.  You may see more of her work on DaniaPiotti.com or if you are in Prescott, swing by Ian Russell’s gallery downtown and pick up a few pieces of art. ~tell them Daddy Bookins sent you…
