So I got a couple of questions about this piece, therefore I think I should add a bit more of an explantion.

Max Frezzato wrote and illustrated his own version of Collodi's Pinocchio, as he did with many other fairy-tales. He then proceeded to create other stories and illustrations based on the character, some of them quite hilarious [check out "I used to be Pinocchio"]. All in all I feel that he had a rather special relationship with the character.

The piece here, is actually baby Pinocchio. It's from a Pinocchio themed calendar [aka Calendrocchio] that was published back in 2012. This is the illustration for January, hence him being a baby. Through the months of the year he ages.

I absolute LOVE Frezzato's take on Pinocchio and feel very lucky to have been able to get my hands on this piece.
