CLAUDIO PARENTELA COLLAGE

Claudio Parentela is an Italian jack of all trades, illustrator, painter, photographer, cartoonist, and journalist who has been active in the underground scene. His work has been featured in tons of magazines, comics and publications and exhibited in galleries around the world. I especially love his whimsical pop art montage collection.
