I've been in Italy longer than 2 months now. I've been obsessing over Italian brands, Italian coffee and all of the rich Italian history.

Today I bring you an all Italian Look from some amazing Italian clothing companies, mixing a bit of the Sunflowerman style with a sprezzatura flair.

The Sunflowerman sketchbook is filling up with Italian Style ideas. With all of the reference material from the many wonderful sites here in Italy some great menswear illustration is coming your way.

I sometimes wonder about my role as an illustrator. What contribution can I make that's different and unique.

With the this Italian Style series I can put together some fascinating looks that highlight exactly who I'm in love with at any given moment while creating some dope figurative and objective illustrations in the process.
