Salimena Studios is where I, Giovanni Salimena, get to play with many mediums from pencil and paint, music and poetry to computer illustration and animation to get your point or mine across using illustration. Because my creative mind is never at rest I’m always in the middle of a new project or developing a new idea for my own personal satisfaction and to stay fresh. Despite the fact that I could keep myself busy with creative endeavors until the day I die, I don’t pay myself well and I often already know the answers to my own questions.     I enjoy working with clients so much because each client brings to the table a different design challenge and parameters that really make me work my creative mind and use all of my training and experience to come up with a unique and appropriate product.   Not to mention that clients afford me the opportunity to do what it is that I love to do most - illustrate.      For more information about me check out the Bio page on the navigation bar at the top of the Web page.     Enjoy the Illustrations, Designs, Music, Photos and Multi-media projects. I love fan mail and feedback as well as to talk about Salimena Studios so feel free to contact me at 503-550-1800 or ggsal@comcast.net.
