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…

Religiões – February – 2005
The editor asked for a sketched finishing on this one but, I believe, he had to refrain a bit from this idea in the end. Never ask me to go on “sketch mode”.

Brasil Sustentável – February – 2005
Just a bunch of traffic signs for an article. Nothing more, nothing less.

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…

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

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.

Frota – January – 2005
Trying to simulate an ink drawing with digital means isn’t a good idea. The charm of the real materials isn’t achieved, and we are left with a lost opportunity. Anyway, this job was about the bureaucracy stamping monster. Like a Kraken it devours your time and patience.

Brasil Sustentável – December – 2004
Another apocalyptic future for our little planet. We have a lot of alternatives but insist to go in the wrong direction in the name of the greed progress.

Época – December – 2004
This one was fun. I really love the theme and the possibility of making fun of this clash between religious beliefs and science. By the way, I respect both.
