Fulvio, a young Italian artist.  Fulvio had a passion to draw since he was a child, copying comic strip drawings and later as an adult developing his own style of drawing and airbrushing.

He attended the art academy and received a degree in Artist of Decoration.  Here he learned to draw and paint on various surfaces and so he began to customize the walls of homes and doing interior designing for customers along with object designs.

In 2006, he came across Zippo lighters and what started as an experiment turned out as a new passion for a new canvas.  Four years later, he started to customize Zippo lighters with his best designs and in 2011 he attended the International Collectors meeting of the Zippo Club Germany, his first exhibition ever.  His unique, distinctive and colorful style was the eye-catcher of the event.

Fulvio continues to do various types of artwork but his true love is the Zippo and Roseart customization.  His artwork can be seen on his website:  www.Tonelart.it.

Roseart and Fulvio have collaborated with 2 one of a kind Roseart/Fulvio Masterpieces.  The first piece is called “African Woman” and the second is called “African Mask”.  They are each being silent auctioned and the auctions will be open until December 31st.  The starting bid is $240.00 each.  If you are interested in placing a bid or have any questions; please contact Kelly at kelly@roseartlighters.com or Fulvio  at tonellinigabriele@teletu.it.  These two marvelous pieces deserve a special home.

Hi and Happy Monday to our customers and collector friends!  I am going to update our website more frequently and would like to get the blogs going to see what our customers think.  Please let us know how your online shopping experience is on our website and how we can make it better.  Do you find it easy to navigate and find certain items.  Ralph (dad) won an award locally and we are very proud of him!  He won the Bradford Area Chamber of Commerce Community and Spirit award this goes to an individual or organization that has made a significant, positive impact in the Bradford Area and its economic well-being through their volunteer, civic, religious, cultural and/or business activities.  It is certainly well deserved.  If you get a chance, send him a card or email congratulating him at wrightmonumental@verizon.net or 212 East Main Street, Bradford, PA 16701.  Thank you.  Kelly

See our latest collectible featuring Roger Hane’s Don Quixote watercolor artwork on the High Polish Brass Zippo lighter with color imaging as the imprint method.  It includes an insert card of explanation what the verse says on the lid and an explanation about Don Quixote on the back of this card.  Roger Hane, artist, was from Bradford, PA and was killed in Central Park, New York City in 1974.  Throughout his professional career, he produced over 300 published illustrations for many of the major publishing houses, magazines and record companies.  His style was outside the ordinary, touching on the surreal, fantasy movement of the early 1900’s.  He came from a rare class of illustrators and was nationally and internationally renown.  There are paperback and hard back copies available of the book on Roger Hane entitled “Roger Hane Art, Times and Tragedy” at the Roseart store.
