# About me
Born in dicemder the 21st 1982 in Milan, Italy.I’ve always been interested in drawing and writing stories since I was a child. My fantasy grew a lot thanks to the Italian "Anime Boom" in the late '80s / early '90s, when hundreds of Japanese cartoons were broadcasted on TV. At the end of the Intermediate School (6th to 8th grade in US), I attended the Liceo Artistico A. Frattini (Art High School), in Varese.
In the summer of 1999 – between the 3rd and the 4th High School year – I saw the light: Comics. A friend of mine suggested me to see some Anime movies, such as Ghost in the Shell and Akira, and the TV series Neon Genesis Evangelion. In those years I started developing my drawing style and writing stories (which are only waiting to be published) I still continue.
In 2001 I got a diploma with good marks, but even before the end of High School I worked on some drawings for school text books, for Italian publishers like Bruno Mondadori and Principato.
In 2002 I met Greta, my kindred spirit, and my life has been pushed forward by a great positive force.
During 2004, I was bogged down in hundreds of ideas and projects, but then I saw the light again: my old passion for dinosaurs came back into me powerfully. During the summer of the same year I met the paleontologist Marco Signore, and we soon became friends and a fantastic work team in my first project, which begun in 2006: the "Dinosaurs" series, which tells the Mesozoic in six graphic novels published in Italy, USA, Japan, France, South Korea and Germany. This big project is finished after more than 4 years of work, and now I'm preparing to go on this difficult road.

No problem 😁
I just didn't think you'd still be active here on deviant art
So, how are you today?

I rarely post devs because I rarely have time to do so, but I never quit DeviantART, and never will.
I'm waiting for publication of the last book I worked on to post here a few works. I don't know when it's going to be, because covid-19 pandemic slowed everything down a lot.

Kronosaurus82 In reply to 19simons [2020-03-20 09:30:08 +0000 UTC]
Really glad you like my books.
I was inspired by my childhood, actually: I dreamt of making my own dinosaur books since I was very little.

Thanks again for your compliments.
I have no plans for more dinosaur comic books at the moment, but... who knows, maybe in the future.

No problem 😁
Ok, I understand
Do you think I could share some ideas with you possibly for ideas on those comics if you get back into it?

Kronosaurus82 In reply to 19simons [2020-03-23 09:40:18 +0000 UTC]
Yes, it could be fun to read some of your ideas.
But please, keep in mind a couple of things: first, I already have plots and ideas of my own since when I finished the first six books (and my co-author Dr. Signore has his own ideas too) so please, don't feel offended if I'm not going to use your ideas (usually I don't use other people's ideas).
Second, if I'll ever get back to do more dinosaur graphic novels, it's not going to be anytime soon... and I'm not talking about weeks, I'm talking about years.
