The illustrations of Daniel Egnéus

There's this short tale in the shape of a 4-page comic in which content and structure take on a rare fine form. Found in the August edition of "Blue" (an Italian print magazine, published by Coniglio Editore, which deserves a post in itself, prima o poi).

Two 30-something share a corner of a metropolitan Rome with talk and a kiss. Daniel Egnéus' "amore eterno" is both warm and aloof and very urban.

Meanwhile, his online portfolio is enchanting and erudite in its visual undercurrents: take the top image with its taurine quality; the annals of French Vogue in the second; the dream of Italian food design in the third.
