Giovanni Valenti, aka Gioz, starts drawing dinosaurs when he was a toddler and creating his own character and stories in elementary school. During the years of middle school, fond of Dragon Ball, he starts imitating Toriyama’s style and creating his own first “real” tales. Once he graduated from high school, he keeps drawing moved by his passion but he cannot make drawing his priority, even though new ideas for characters and stories rise in his mind by reading manga and discovering different styles. In 2012, Gioz takes part in an online contest that will bring him to live his first experience almost as a professional cartoonist. In 2014, he creates a short adventure about Asterix for the volume “Meanwhile in Elsewhere” (a tribute to the world of comics) by Cyrano Comics, for the Mantova Comics & Games event: he had the great opportunity to spend a day with the other contestants and the team at the Cyrano Comics’ stand. In June 2015, he participates as a “special guest” in “La Sagra Dei Fumetti” at the Castello Scaligero of Villafranca in Verona, for the launch of “Cosfight”, the new comic by Cyrano Comics, with which he cooperates by drawing a chapter. Nowadays, he works with the team of Dorateos Manga, an online magazine, by publishing every three months his latest work: “Preistory”.
