Alfazoo

 Alfredo De Santis was born in 1941 in Rome, and while as an art student, fully immersed himself 
in the lively and exciting artistic and intellectual life of the city during the 1950s. 

In 1962 he moved to Milan,where learned to appreciate the graphic design works 

of GIancarlo Iliprandi, Pino Tovaglia and other exponents of that fervently modernist era.

After moving back to Rome, in 1964 he opened a graphic design studio and published a number of 

children's books with Emme Edizioni. The funny alphabetic bestiary Alfazoo came out in 1968.

Many thanks to Carlo Porrini for linking me to Taxonomy of domestic fauna, 

a charming series of etchings by Colombian artist Marcela Cardenas.

Besides loving animals, I also own a small collection of animal-shaped objects

and, as you may have noticed, have a natural tendency to create arbitrary

classifications, so Marcela's work is right up my alley.
