Hope you enjoy the book!
Cheers!
Hello, guys. From now on I'll stop posting here and will keep all the new stuff in my other blog:
“The days go on and on… they don’t end. All my life needed was a sense of someplace to go. I don’t believe that one should devote his life to morbid self-attention, I believe that one should become a person like other people.” Travis Bickle
I did another Superman Wallpaper, I'm still testing it to see wich version works better for me. You can see here the 3 versions: WHITE, BLUE & Full Color. I've done something like this before, but all the links seem to be broken. Patience.
Drawing people in the restaurant. That fat lady looked like Jabba and the small old woman looked like Yoda.
Drawing people in the waiting room.
Drawing people in the São Cristovão bar. They were talking about twitter celebs.
This small documantary was filmed in São Carlos - SP, Brazil, april 3 / 2010, a rainy sunday, using a Sony DSC-HX1 and edited with Apple's Imovie '9. The soundtrack is a Palmeiras's soccer game my father was listening in his old radio.
I did this watercolor Fofão for the last Halloween, nothing more appropriate than this cursed popular brazillian character from the 80's. Everybody remembers the old legend about the terrible curse of Fofão, whose dolls had inside their neck a small and black plastic sword, a dagger if you will, due to the pact with the devil his creator had made. After that, ashamed and regretted, he came on national television asking Fofão's owners to burn their dolls. Despite the numerous executions and persecutions of those damned toys, the creature lives and still today makes scary shows across the country. True story.
Another sketch made during lunch time. This one is about the "Vecchio Libro", a used books shop one block from my studio.
How do you say no to your girlfriend? Especially when she knows you love movies and wants you to make a video featuring her little dog? Well, it's easier to make the video, so here it is.

Thank you, apple, for creating the the imovie.

This small movie was filmed in São Carlos - SP, Brazil, between SET 27 and OUT 13 in 2009 using a Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-V1 and edited with Apple's Imovie '8. I also recommend you buy as many Dropkick Murphys Albuns as you can.
Featuring Today: NITCHOWS.
{DO NOT confound him with NITCHOWS GREEN MORTON}
This gifted artist is one of the monkeys working at the Macacolândia studio. Take your time to browse trough his great blog "Desenho Frito" and his amazing moleskine pages in his flickr account "Bruneskine".
Here's is how Nitchows probably will look like in the year 2035.
Drawing Nitchows during lunch time is always great fun! And here we can see him in his first encounter with the DEVIL. Better luck next time, my friend!
*Yeah, there's a "n" missing in the word "Strange", but it's too late to fix it.
Last march I was invited by Stephen Lindsay to make the cover of his beloved comicbook "Jesus Hates Zombies - Vol. 3". And here it is.
In 2007 I had already made a pinup for this series. Besides that, Stephen and I are working on a project called C-Minus that is currently on hold while we finish other things. Daniel Thollin signs the inside art of Vol. 3 and if you're interested, you can order the Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 ( Featuring Danilo's great cover ) at Amazon.com.
When Stephen invited me to make the Jesus Hates Zombies Vol.3 cover, he already had an idea for what he wanted. Besides Jesus, who hates zombies, there is Abraham Lincoln, who hates werewolves. In this volume, they're going to be cruising around in the famous General Lee car, from The Dukes of Hazard.
Drawing Jesus is easy, but to draw Lincoln and the car I was gonna need some references pictures. I got everything I needed at the famous site EASYLIFE.com.
I started with Abe, as he was easier and more fun to draw. I hadn't started thinking about the layout, but decided to try to understand the man through some sketches of his face and his hate about those damn lycanthropes!
I liked the sketch and idea that Stephen had for the cover, I just redesigned it adding some perspective, changing the characters a little bit and and sent it for his approval.
Actually I was getting some problems with the whole car, characters, perspective composition in one sheet, so I decided to go the easy way and put all together with the help of our friend Photoshop. Of course it would be cooler to make it all work in one sheet, but I was with so little time and didn't want to keep Stephen waiting for my experiments and exercises.
I inked all of the elements separately, corrected the Lincoln face, the Jesus size and went to Photoshop to add some colors, the skyline and the Las Vegas sign.
With some textures and some dirt over our heroes, the cover was pretty much finished an I had the final image to show. Stephen was really fast to put the logo on the top of it and it was it.
Feel free to check out Stephen's site, his Facebook or Twitter for more information on release dates and upcoming projects.
Thanks, guys.
