Corporate – April – 2005
Slot machines and a casino environment, great opportunity to play with reflections and saturated colors.

Playboy – March – 2005
Playboy magazine always had some of the greatest articles that I had illustrated. Adding to that, the editors and collaborators were very understanding to my, sometimes weird, suggested compositions. It was the best working experience I had.

4Rodas – March – 2005
The article wasn’t just about corn cob races on a river stream, if I remember correctly, it was about beautiful and nostalgic remembrances of youth.

Banco Real – March – 2005
I don’t remember the specifics of this job. It had something to do with bridges connecting people, good bridges versus bad bridges, pollution versus clean air and all kinds of badly elaborated metaphors. Not approved watercolor and pencil studies.

Super Interessante Especial – February – 2005
Another job where I would have liked to have had more judgment rendering these images. The schedule was tight but this is not an excuse to not perfect the artwork.

Super Interessante – February – 2005
This one was a centerfold for an article about Norse mythology. It is the Yggdrasil tree and an indication of all the entities of the Viking culture. As always, I look at these images now and wonder, what the hell I was thinking when finishing these images? Was the schedule so tight that I didn’t…

Grandes Guerras – January – 2005
More battles, invasions, pillages and everything related to war. Unfortunately, at this time, I wasn’t too aware of my schedule and ended up accumulating a lot of jobs, resulting in less time dedicated for each artwork. Thank God I got better at this…

Vip Magazine – January – 2005
I don’t know why but, when I work with watercolors my illustrations lean more into a cartoon style. Go figure…

Super Interessante – January – 2005
An article about the Holy Grail chalice legend. Nowadays we have tons of online references to pull from but, when I did these illustrations, I remember how hard was to find good source of historical representations. A lot of liberties was taken then…

Religiões – January – 2005
Battles are a great opportunity to experiment with textures and shapes. Unfortunately, I was more interested in doing a gestural and technical expressive drawing than telling a well told visual story. I wish I was more judicious about the finishing of my illustrations back then.
