Born in Padua, Italy, in 1961, this comic-strip artist and illustrator is a leading light in the renewal of Italian comic, dividing his time as a graphic artist, designer, musician and artist. More recently, Massimo Giacon has come to light as a promising consumer product designer, implementing his interesting, youthful and pop culture iconic artistry to his commissioned mass produced products for notable manufacturers. Each piece incorporates his revitalized Italian comic inspirations for a more fun, imaginative and artistic twist to everyday consumer products. These inspirations can easily be seen in Giacon's update of a common office desk item, the pencil sharpener. While providing the ability to sharpen both standard and jumbo sized pencils, this piece incorporates the playful design of a pig. Constructed from ABS and SBS plastics with a built-in shavings catcher, available in two color options, this pencil sharpener will surely have you writing to the point.
