"Scanner Darkly" Self Portrait September 2012 ( Scanner Darkly Auto-retrato Setembro 2012)

Making Of. After re-watching the excellent 'A scanner darkly' for the Millionth time, I couldn't help but doing another self-portrait in the same style of this beautifully crafted movie. Too bad P.K.Dick wasn't alive to see it, the same happened to 'Blade Runner'.

Making Of. Após rever o excelente 'A scanner darkly' pela milionésima vez, não pude evitar fazer outro auto-retrato no mesmo estilo desse 'belíssimamente' trabalhado filme. Pena que o P. K. Dick não viveu para vê-lo feito, o mesmo aconteceu com 'Blade Runner'.

New Pin-Up Girls

This is probably my favourite drawing subject. I would really like to get completely loose drawing women. Going to get there, hopefully. :D

It's hard for me to draw in small A6-sized sketchbooks. This sure feels like a new learning process. The thick Fabriano surface plays it really hard on my ink pens.

Este é talvez o meu tema favorito para desenhos. Gostaria de soltar-me mais desenhando mulheres. Chegarei lá, espero. :D

É difícil para mim desenhar em pequenos blocos de desenho tamanho A6. Isto certamente é um novo aprendizado. A espessa superfície do Fabriano joga duro com minhas canetas nanquim.

This sketch was done while waiting for my lunch in an indian restaurant near Valencia Street. December 2011.

Ostrich attempts

Always prefer drawing something which is in front of you, rather than a picture. At least, so I have always been told. I have to say though, while it´s amazing to see an Ostrich from up close, it is very difficult to get this animal in a quiet state. This was all I could manage to sketch in about 5 minutes. I gave up due to the amount of insects around the flock. Amazing creature, I must say.

New Pin-Up Girl

This is the first Pin Up girl I have made in 2011. Once again, a drawing 100% in vector. I don't know why, but I find it nicer to draw in Illustrator than in Photoshop.

Zoio Films mural

A quick pencil drawing I made last week at Zoio Filmes HQ in Natal, directly on the surface of a pillar. A fusion of the green goblet with deathblow - both comic book characters. The face is approximately 60cm tall x 30cm wide.

Out of the blue Face

Though I've been trying to have my tailor-made sketchbooks around (thank Cadjoo for them!), I can't help sketching on leaflets, napkins and even airplane air-sickness paperbags!

This has produced a few quick sketches I'm posting for the sake of posting. Just because.

Evz Opie-dized

As a homage to artist Julian Opie, I've decided to have a go at one of my self-portraits. Nobody's complaining! =)

Poster for a concert

Here it is, the follow-up to my last post. The yellow image was the only given (existing) element to be mandatory in the poster. I added up a vector-version of the venue, as I picked it from their website image and aimed for a monochromatic poster. Later on, my friend, portrayed in the yellow frame, asked me for adjustments on its colour and the lettercase used on his name. I compromised, but not too much! =)

Detail from a comissioned poster

As the title gives away, this is a portion of a poster I'm designing. My friend asked me to advert a tribute concert to two of his idols, one of them being Jacques Brel (depicted above).

Warming up

Little by little, Oceano's shaping up.
