ArtFlakes

2011-07-05T11:58:00.002+01:00

I was contacted by the Head of Marketing of ArtFlakes because they liked my illustrations and would like to sell them through their website. I decided to open a little shop there since I can't do prints at the moment, and they have a large variety of printing options from large canvas to greeting cards. In case you are interested here is the direct to my shop link: ArtFlakes.

PS: If you are interested in something that is not in the shop, I can always add the illustration you are looking for to it.

Half-Hearted Girl

2011-06-22T11:25:00.004+01:00

And once again I did the same errors I was doing a year ago... With the excitement of a new perspective, I didn't give it time to breathe, to grow and to be right on the perspective. So I'll leave you the first drawing of the Half-Hearted Girl, maybe I'll finish it eventually, but I'm starting from scratch again because I don't like the end result.... I've haven't made up my mind yet... Let us see later on the day...

Faithful One

2010-10-22T09:00:00.001+01:00

"Pensava eu em plantar uma semente, uma semente na minha estufa. Pensava eu em misturar o nosso sangue, planta-lo no chão, bem fundo, para que nunca saísses da minha vida. Era como um jogo, como um trato feito por nós. Se alguém quisesse sair desta casa que habitamos, teria que desenterrar, sozinho, o sangue de ambos.

O sangue misturado é difícil de destilar. De subtrair a sua essência. Pensava eu. Mas bastou uma noite, um momento apenas em que alguém cantava ao meu ouvido, em que a minha atenção não se centrava em mim, para perceber que quem tinha que o desenterrar era eu. E por muito que te ouvisse, entendi uma parte de mim. E agradeço-te por me ouvires." Estufa Victoriana
