Winner of the Space Coaster contest by Birra Galassia & Viva Comix — plus an Honorable Mention from participant voting.
A tribute to Pirandello — yes, it’s been twenty years of thinking about masks — this illustration asks a simple yet profound question: Who is the real alien? Your mother? Your dog? Your neighbor? Yourself?
The piece explores the idea of diversity — who defines it, and by what standard? It’s a subjective, ever-shifting concept that we’re invited to see with new eyes.
Visually, “Uno, Nessuno, Centomilaliens” is psychedelic and vibrant, populated by fragmented masks that morph from dog to human. Small details referencing beer and diversity orbit around the circular composition, encouraging viewers to shift their perspective. And yes — at the center, there’s a three-eyed cat about to press the red button for Earth’s destruction… so maybe, let’s behave. 😼🚨
