During his life he painted more than 3,000 covers covering all aspects of popular culture, including film posters and Pulp novels (the ever popular Italian 'Giallo' - the generic name given to police and crime novels whose earlier titles boasted yellow covers).
In the 1960's he was working for the Dami Art Agency and had the opportuntity of supplying artwork to the Fleetway group.
