based in Reggio Emilia, ITALY
My name is Mauro Mason, from Italy.
I am an illustration and animation enthusiast, and with my pixels in motion I can help you and your business by making blink the eyes of your audience =D
*Why the astronaut?
In my childhood, I dreamed of be a space explorer, to drive a spaceship and to discover alien worlds!
I grew up and I changed my dreams, so I became an motion designer and illustrator, and my spaceship became my workstation; but this is another way to discover new worlds. =D

LOVE THE MOTION,
LOVE THE ANIMATION

I'm specialized in 2D motion graphic design, and I love draw characters and illustration, but I also have an eye for visual design applied to motion.
I can provide concepts and ideas, direction for animation, art direction, storyboards, illustrations and original assets.
I work with agencies and production studios, sometimes under the art director or the creative director’s supervision, to produce explainer videos, institutional and corporate, social media contents, case studies, broadcast commercials.
I love to get my hands dirty with different styles, mixing techniques, ranging from minimalism to material-looking solutions.
It's my way of not getting bored and not boring the audience.
Some of the techniques I use regularly in my projects.

A dusting of 3D...
Sometimes I have experimented a little bit of 3D mixed to my motion to push up the level of awesomeness.
