Chu ( Julian Pablo Manzelli )
http://www.studiochu.tv Biography
After a youth influenced by skateboarding and traveling, I graduated as a Graphic Designer at the University of Buenos Aires, where I also worked as a teacher for 3 years. I added studies of illustration, photography, silkscreen and animation. After working at important design and motion graphics agencies in Buenos Aires I formed in 1998 DOMA Collective with Mariano Barbieri, MatÃas Vigliano and Orilo Blandini, a multidisciplinary art/design collective where I am still participating as an active member. With the group, we started at the street art field, specialized in animation and gained an international recognition after almost 10 years together. Today I live in Buenos Aires, working independently and in relation with these projects:
