Mazotti/Selenium. Original plate #2 illustrating an X scene. Superb quality of execution, illustrating the technical mastery of this specialist artist...India ink and colored pencils circa 2000. Signed. TBE+. 30 X 40 cm Stefano Mazzotti (1969) is an Italian cartoonist specializing in erotic comics. His stories are characterized by a variety of historical contexts and locations. He learned his craft as a self-taught artist, and in this "practical school" Mazotti learned about meeting deadlines and got the taste to try his hand at erotic comics with the Italian magazine Selen. This decision gave rise to 31! albums for the "Selenium" series between 1998 and 2003. More recently, he created the Fantasmes series, whose T3 was released in 2021.
