Master of the Fuzzy Felts Jacopo Rosati shows us his spectacular collages

Creating “small and lovable” characters all day is probably the reason why Venice-based Jacopo Rosati’s illustrations stay so perpetually upbeat and cheerful (that and living in such a beautiful city). These collages are made of childhood-reminiscent felt of the fuzziest variety, a medium that is rarely used within the world of illustration — be that because Jacopo holds the torch for being best at it, or that no one’s been clever enough to think of it. Either way, we’re smitten, and our fingers are double-crossed under our desks for some animations from him in the future!

A grid of 12 felt portraits depicting various comic book characters. The stylised figures include Thor, Wonder Woman, Batman, Spider-Man and Iron Man.
