Childhood
is an age with a lot of dreams. We dreamed of going to magical places and
fantasy worlds with wild adventures to meet cool new friends. We planned a lot
to do in those dream worlds with those dream friends who would take us for who
we are.
Do you
admit that most of these fantasies were inspired by movies which we enjoyed
during our childhood? Those lovely movies that mixed real life with fantasy?
For example Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988), Mary Poppins (1964) and Space Jam
(1996) etc. All these movies made us realize that the world is full of magic
and that we’d be able to meet those fantasy characters one day.
Later on,
time made us understand that the magic that we saw during our childhood is not
so common in the real world. Though the movie theaters were crowded, the magic
shown in the movies was not so applicable. But, yet there are some adults who
refuse to grow up to admit this truth. Here comes an interesting story of such
an artist who edits himself with Disney figures using Photoshop.

He’s none
other than the graphic designer and illustrator, Luigi Kemo Volo from Bacoli,
Naples in Italy who’s well-known for his photo montages with Disney characters.
He has always loved Disney movies since childhood and has been a very big fan
of Disney characters. His love and passion for drawing and animations along
with his interest for the Disney world led him to the creation of this series.

However,
Kemo’s desires were not that easy to fulfill due to his financial constraints
which led him to work as a full-time bartender and a part-time photographer in
different ceremonies or taking up advertising campaigns. Kemo got into the arts
sphere in 2002 with some street arts and writing and finally into the field of
freelance illustrating in 2014 with the beginning of photography in 2012.

Kemo has
tried mixing his favorites - illustrations and photography throughout his life.
It had been a big opportunity for him to step into the world of digital
graphics. Kemo is now an artist who can afford to purchase everything he needs
to improve his passionate job.

Apart
from his interest, there’s something else that has prompted him to engage in
this work. That is to make his nephew believe that magic and the Disney cartoon
characters in movies are real.
