    Playboy – June – 2005

    More tiny people for Playboy magazine and an agent CEO guy.

  • Grandes Guerras – June – 2005

    Grandes Guerras – June – 2005

    An article about snipers and their importance in WWII, especially in the Stalingrad battle. I promise to draw the soldier with a neck next time…

  • Frota – June – 2005

    Frota – June – 2005

    An article about time scheduling for truck drivers and how they work under pressure. As always, my trucks look more ludicrous than ever.

    4Rodas – June – 2005

    Missing the good old beetle? I was experimenting with textures a lot at the time I did this. Looking back on these old images, I see how I handled these experiments with a heavy hand.

  • Playboy – May – 2005

    Playboy – May – 2005

    More illustrations about little people climbing; if I am not mistaken, I did a bunch of these for Playboy magazine showing these Lilliputian characters climbing on a giant woman. A sort of theme for the editors I believe. The other image is just a gathering of old characters from the 80’s at their favorite pub.

    Frota – May – 2005

    This magazine is dedicated to vehicles of all kinds, but I always was commissioned to draw trucks for some reason. In my defense, my cars are drawn as bad as the trucks.

  • Grandes Guerras – May – 2005

    Grandes Guerras – May – 2005

    “Honey, those pesky Templars at our door again!” Everyone has an identification with some historical period, and mine is the medieval one. I love to read about this period especially when the historians and researchers give us a more realistic and grounded view of the life of these people. At the time of these illustrations,…

  • Corporate – May – 2005

    Corporate – May – 2005

    Any image related to historical themes inspires me the most, but I have a special place in my heart for medieval and 19th century visuals. I was lucky to do a series of works for Abril publications that addressed these themes. I have fond memories from this one.

  • Viagem e Turismo – April – 2005

    Viagem e Turismo – April – 2005

    I always liked those schematic illustrations showing cutouts of machines, buildings, human bodies and so on. They have a charming and intricate visual that engages our curiosity. Unfortunately, I am not qualified to do this kind of informational imagery…

  • Corporate – April – 2005

    Corporate – April – 2005

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

  • Playboy – March – 2005

    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

    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.
