EMILIO ISCA: MY FIRST HUMOR SCARABOCCHI ARE STARTED AT 14/15 YEARS OLD, EVEN FINDING A WAY TO PUBLISH THEM.
RED MAN: Have you ever studied at an art school?
EMILIO ISCA: I'm a missing architect. AFTER THE FIRST TWO HOURS OF LESSON I UNDERSTAND THAT ARCHITECTURE WAS NOT FOR ME AND SO I REPEATED ON CREATIVE GRAPHICS.
RED MAN: We would like to know when you decided to become an artist? Is your family full of artistic atmosphere?
EMILIO ISCA: ARTIST IS A VERY COMMITMENT DEFINITION. Art was not breathed in the house, I alone, my only son exhibited a certain creativity. In other words, it's the same.
