About
Welcome to my blog and art gallery. I’m Alejandro Dini (Aledin for friends). I was born in Argentina, I grew up in Italy and I’m currently living and working in Hong Kong. I’m a “legal alien”: wherever I go I feel like a foreigner (I actually am one). I like to think of myself as a citizen of the world.
After spending my teenage years practicing drawing on my maths books with the help of Burne Hogarth’s books on anatomy, I graduated from the Istituto Europeo di Design in Turin (Italy) as illustrator. Since then I’ve been involved into diverse projects ranging from advertising, publishing, multimedia, children books and graphic design. This experience allowed me to get used to teamwork and producing artwork with different output requirements (print, web, desktop, mobile phones), either as a full-time employee or as a freelancer.
From 2005 to 2007 I’ve worked as Creative Director of Tree & Me ltd, in the telecommunications entertainment field, producing Flash animations for mobile phones.
After then I decided to return to my main passion: illustration.
I’m currently working full-time in the videogames field, while dedicating the rest of my time to digital painting.
I’m also writing and drawing a comic that started as a web project, but that one day I might convert into print format: Toxitizens.
Enjoy your visit and don’t hesitate to contacting me or leaving comments in the blog.
