bio
Let me introduce myself!
My name is Samuele Porta, but you can call me "samilruvido".
I was born in 1981 in a town in the province of Milan.
I grew designing and dreaming.
I love to create with signs, sounds and words.
I attended art school in a small provincial town and I graduated from "high school of Art Applied of Sforzesco's Castle" in Milan, and now i work as a graphic artist and illustrator.
I hope to continue to draw for the rest of my life.
