The art behind the book “Rene Russo: a biography (according to fans)"


Recently I was having a great chat with two of my social network best friends, Alex Zancai (from Italy) and Gabriel Kikas (from Grosse Pointe, Michigan), about the illustrations of my book in process of creation and "Rene Russo: a biography (according to fans)", from my autorship. I told once to them, "Besides the normal pics of Rene, the book will have some illustrations made by myself, I want it to be more different." 


The illustrations were mostly inspired by Andy Warhol and The Male Nude Project calendar, with pics taken by my best friend Sergio Santoian (and drawings by actor and artist Pedro Henrique Moutinho).

Art is something special in my life. Since I was born, I have to essential gifts that I carry always: imagination and creativity. And art is also included in my musical background, I fell in love with artwork when I was 18, since I bought a cd artwork book on Urban Outfitters in one of my trips to New York City. 

Alex told me on last Friday, "you put passion in what you do and write. That is something readers notice immediately and will appreciate it". 


All the Rene artworks I did are mostly related with the text, whether it's in technicolor or in black and white. That's what most world photographers do in edition time. And the illustrations are more exciting with effects and movement !

Rene Russo for Vogue Magazine, April 1975


Rene Russo felt so comfortable in this Francesco Scavullo editorial photoshoot for Vogue Magazine, April 1975 edition (where Ms Russo was the cover star). It also shows that this woman is fascinated for sports, specially the leisure ones.  

This pic above was taken on a speedboat and Rene didn't show the insecurity she usually had in everyday life, showing lots of confidence, and also shows how classy this wonderful lady is!  


Who loves Rene like a tennis star? We all love it ! Even she is on the scenery background of this image, it express lots of concentration, like she's playing the sport! The wardrobe in this pic is so amazing, and she's great wearing a bucket hat (and I also love wearing this accessory in everyday life!) 

In this photo below, Rene also looks very cozy; she looks so great in blue! And the shirt she wore plus the head scarf combined perfectly with her. 



And last but not least, Rene in a motorcycle is soooo wonderful. She never rode on motorbike before; and it's also shown her trust. The combo of jeans, shirt and boots worked in a perfect way. Let's not forget about her smile at the other model, it's the best in the whole world! Work it girl !
