A graduate of the Art Institute of Monza (Milan), Francesco's unique style places a heavy emphasis on hand-drawn black lines, detail, and simplicity. He describes hisself as an \"Illustrator of Speed,\" with an aesthetic influenced by f\u003c\/span\u003euel, grease, and iron. In Francesco's words, his style is \"An infinite road trip drawn on paper.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHis IVO WORKS pseudonym comes from the name of his grandfather - Ivo. The WORKS was the place where Ivo pursued his passion, building and repairing bicycles. After Ivo's passing, Francesco started printing a few t-shirt designs in his basement. As his workspace and portfolio grew, Francesco decided to use the IVO WORKS name as a respectful homage to his grandfather, a way to remember his passion and work ethic every day. As Francesco explains, IVO WORKS is less of a name, and more of a concept; \"It's a reminder to always keep moving, evolving, and pursuing my passions in the same way my grandad did.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrancesco's motorcycle-centric works can be seen in collaborations with California Racer Garage, Perth Cafe Racer, and Himalayan Heroes. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstagram:\u003cspan\u003e @ivoworks_motor_art\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeb:\u003cspan\u003e www.ivoworks.com\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eThe Design: \"Freedom Is...\"\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen considering the question \"What does it mean to be an Outlaw\" Francesco was immediately transported into the world of old Hollywood Westerns. In true cinematic style, iconic images of desert vistas and a starlit sky provide the backdrop for his design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA lonesome highway splits the cactus-laden landscape, bringing Francesco's  vision into the present day where cars and motorcycles have replaced horses. His modern Outlaw is at home on the open road, surrounded by nature, barreling toward the horizon unbound by convention. The Outlaw mentality of today isn't about breaking the law or committing crimes, it's about connecting with the natural world and appreciating the beauty of our few remaining wide open spaces. It's about getting out there, and feeling... free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eThe Charity: Greenpeace (Los Angeles, CA)\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreenpeace is an international non-profit organization that advocates for\u003cspan\u003e non-violent creative action to pave the way towards a greener, more peaceful world, and to confront the systems that threaten our environment. \u003c\/span\u003eThrough creative communication, independent campaigning, and peaceful protest, they work to protect natural spaces like the one depicted in Francesco's design, promoting solutions for a greener and more peaceful future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded over 40 years ago, it has grown from a small group of dedicated activists to an international organization with offices in more than 50 countries.
