Overview

Luca's got tons of super human skills when it comes to drawing faces. I love it. He mixes his traditional pencil art with hot and colorful illustrations. Ends up as an awesome and unique combo.

Biography

I'm Luca Laurenti. Since I was very small I always like to design and until the existing of pencil I think I always design.

Where do you work? What do you do there?

At the present time I live, work and study in Rome. A part of my main basic work is at the office design studio Mekkanografici Associati. The remaining comes from my personal listings. Mainly I work in the publishing trade and in the fashion industries, as illustrator, graphic-designer and creative director. Lately, I'm the only Italian member in the KDU, a creative collective with over 500 members working in all design disciplines and beyond. I try not to have a fixed style, but to adapted it according to what I want to communicate. For example, the latest Taschen's book that I worked for, Illustration Now 2: there are four of my illustrations inside, all different from one another.

How long have you been in this field?

On the football field I lost faith, but I'm a great number 8. In the artistic field, for five years in a professional way.

What role did (are) you play(ing) in the project?

Mklane is a nickname that I carry with me since I was 18 years of age. Maybe one day I will cancel it. Now "mklane.com" is the place where I can show a small part of my portfolio. That I hope to update soon.
