Paolo Nutini

Recently, I did this poster for the scottish singer Paolo Nutini's show here in São Paulo. Here at the studio we've been so busy creating new stories that rarely I do anything that's not comic book related anymore. I'm not complaining, because I love comics and I have the chance to do only that, but sometimes you get that itch to do something a little different, related to something else, another world (the music world, the poster world) and it's nice when the itch comes and it coincides with that tiny little amount of free time you save every month just in case you come across an opportunity.
Paolo happens to like my comics, which I think was one of the reasons I was invited to do the poster, and I happen to like his music, which was one of the reasons I wanted to do it.

Back to the comics now.

The apocalypse is Now

Bá's rendition of this famous scene in Apocalypse Now for a movie poster exposition. Seems appropriate to post it today.

CARANDIRU poster

CARANDIRU poster, a photo by 10paezinhos on Flickr.

My version of a poster for Carandiru, a brazilian movie about real events, set in a prison. Part of an exhibition with new versions for classic or iconic movie posters.

Almost ready

As I was working on this piece, it reminded me of Jock and Brian Wood, whose works constantly contain soldiers, police, weapons and lots of black areas in it.

Best Friends Forever Kickstarter

My friend Brea Grant (who I met throught comics, but she's also an actress) is making her directorial debut writing and directing a post-apocalyptic road movie called Best Friends Forever and she has this great Kickstarter campaign to help raise the money they need to finish the film. You can contribute with various amounts, and there are super cool prizes for those who help out.
Watch the video and learn more about the project:


Brea asked me if I could help out, and I did a cool poster image that wil become a limited print awarded to anyone who contribute with more than $100. Check out the sketch I sent Brea and the finished poster below:


So, the project has only 10 more days to raise the money, and they can use your help. This is a cool project, Brea is a serious and talented professional and we can help.

TCAF in May

We've been invited as special guests to TCAF, Toronto Comic Arts Festival, that will take place on May 5th and 6th, at the Toronto Reference Library. Other guests include Jeff Smith (Bone), Alison Bechdel (Fun Home), Kazu Kibuishi (Amulet) and Bryan Lee O'Malley (Scott Pilgrim), among many others (full guest list here).
And they've asked us to do the art fot this year's poster, so we were extremely happy and honored. I hope you've liked it and also hope to see a bunch of people there and have lots of fun.
And let's hope it's not too cold in May.
