Life drawing in São Paulo
A very unusual illustration I did for a branding project.
Check out the rest of the project here.
Hello! I now have an artist's newsletter
And if you subscribe, you get 10% off at my shop, but I'll let you a shameful secret - I pay for the cheapo website builder subscription so your 10% off discount code will literally last forever, and because I am always eternally grateful for people signing up, I often sign off every newsletter with a better discount code to spend in prints or zines at the shop.
I say "every newsletter", but I've only written one so far. It's a completely new thing for me. But every social media seems to be owned by a different brand of horrible person, so maybe it's not a bad shout to start thinking of alternative ways to connect with people.
I am normally completely repulsed by the idea of talking about myself and my work, but I also realised I love reading my artist's friends' newsletters because it's like opening a tabloid with a morning coffee and only finding good news about what people I like are doing. Maybe you wouldn't mind too terribly reading about what I am doing?

I made a design for this amazing open submission project called PenPalestine, where artists from all over the world send their projects to be printed and sold as postcards in solidarity with Palestinians.
The postcards are printed in London, and 100% of the proceeds will go to medical aid for Palestine.
My design is inspired by M.C. Escher and the rich Palestinian culture of woven and embroidered patterns.
You can buy my design here, but I encourage everyone to browse through the incredible submissions, and all artists to contribute with some artwork.

I made these in a short illustration course I took in the beginning of last year to try to defibrillate myself into drawing again. The course was wonderful, but I never shared this piece because I hated it. The exercise was to create an illustration for The Sleeping Beauty, and I chose the scene where the fairies bestow gifts upon the baby. Turns out that in the original tale there's a whole bunch of fairies.
I was not happy with the outcome, at the time I was back in Brazil and away from materials I normally use, so a lot of choices felt unnatural to me. It feels simultaneously overworked and unfinished.
But hey ho.
The Christmas cards inspired by the Communist Manifesto I designed a few years ago.
Riso printed in Green and Red in London by PageMasters.
Just re-stocked!
Set of three riso printed Christmas cards (two cards, one postcard) I did when I was tripping on religious imagery and traditions.
This was not as much of a hit as my previous set inspired by the Communist Manifesto, but I had fun making them and went all out with the printing (four-colour Risograph, including metallic gold? On 300gsm paper? It's more likely than you think).

Goat-herding Duny sketches based on random pictures of mountainous goat-herding outfits in Kashmir and Iran
The characters don't have a very solid design in my mind yet, especially Ogion. He's giving Giancarlo Esposito in this.
Ilustratona WELx is an annual event organised by Wiki Editoras LX, as part of the Whose Knowledge? campaign, #VisibleWikiWomen, where we invite illustrators to create open licence portraits on Wiki Commons that can illustrate biographies of cis women, trans and non-binary people on Wikipedia and Wikidata.
I joined this year and produced a portrait of Regilena Carvalho, one of the few survivors of the Araguaia Guerrilla.
Can't decide between the two versions.
Riso printed poster for my favourite Caetano abum, Transa.

I originally made this illustration for a competition by So Young Magazine, tho I don't think they do it anymore. I am completely obsessed with Beatlemania, the unhinged films they made, and with this one completely-irrelevant-to-the-non-existing-plot scene from Magical Mystery Tour where they're all dressed as goofy wizards.
I didn't win the competition, but I was pretty happy with their portraits.
Riso printed by yours truly in a few different colour combinations (this one is Orange, Sunflower, Blue and Black). I made some neon copies and they look very cool, but the scanner doesn't do it much justice.
