September 2012 " Les petites gens" was hitting the bookstores, the first book made with Vincent, published by @lelombard. It was a big deal for me, I was moving to China and this book was my first gig after I stopped working on the comic book series "Julia" for Sergio Bocelli Editore , the biggest comic publisher in Italy. My artistic background was a very realistic, kind of old school drawing style, following rules dictated by the kind of mainstream comic that 'Julia" was, but on this story I started to finally let myself go. I didn't care about having a clean line, I pushed a bit anatomies and proportions, and I also enjoyed using colours instead of working just in black and white. Thanks Vincent for sending me that message on my blog, because of that a new adventure began and it's still taking me to places, and I love comics and making them more and more every day.

Since the bookstores in France are not working business as usual because of covid-19, "L'evèil" will be coming out in June. Keep buying comics from bookstores and stay safe. #comics #art #illustration #bandedessinee #dessin #drawing #staysafe #stayhome #fumetti #thomascampi https://www.instagram.com/p/B_IA78MjbdS/?igshid=o7032dhox7aw
Four years ago "Macaroni! " was hitting the bookstores, such a difference time back then, I was lucky enough to travel around France and Belgium to promote the book. I had the pleasure to meet so many great people, some were Italian immigrants, like Ottavio in Macaroni! others were the second and third generation. Everyone still had a connection to my country and told me a bit of their stories. I felt the warmest feeling during those days and frankly, I never thought that making comics could give me that kind of opportunity. It's one of those days when I miss Europe very much. #comics #art #illustration #bandedessinee #dessin #fumetti #drawing #immigration #memories #thomascampi https://www.instagram.com/p/B_D5kFJj9ns/?igshid=5gjr42cd1c38

"Magritte - Ceci n'est pas une biographie ' ( Campi&Zabus) is getting reprinted!!!! 😀 Thanks to all the readers and to my publisher LeLombard, this is still one of my favourite books, even though looking at my drawings after some time and with fresh eyes, makes me see all the mistakes and the things I would do differently now, but that is part of the process of growing and learning as an artist ( hopefully ). Here some random panels to celebrate. #comics #art #illustration #bandedessinee #dessin #surrealism #magritte #drawing #fumetti #thomascampi https://www.instagram.com/p/B9tqn91DFAH/?igshid=1e5s0n7062hyd
"L'éveil" is here! 😍 It's always such a wonderful feeling seeing my work printed, even after so many years of making comics. The smell of the paper, its texture, the sound of the pages when flipping through. Thanks to Vincent, my companion in this journey, and to the great people at @delcourt_soleil_bd , Grégoire, Adèle, Lauren, Vanessa. #comics #art #illustration #bestjobintheworld #bandedessinee #dessin #fumetti #delcourt #drawing #thomascampi (at Sydney, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9h-5WfDRBS/?igshid=1oo1q5ahig1s5
