Vittorio Fiorucci died yesterday in Montreal.Vittorio was an amazing world renowned poster artist,graphic designer,cartoonist and cavalier bon vivant hedonist with a lust for life like few I have known.
For those who know of the Juste For Laughs Comedy festival in Montreal, he is the creator of there Little green imp mascot with the big red tongue.
Like Robert Lapalme, he was one of my design and illustration idols. I was lucky enough to have him a guest teacher a few times in university and a chance to have a beer with him. He would shake my hand and have a few seconds to chat with me whenever we met on the street. A nicer satyr you would never could meet.....
Some of his work can be seen here...
