Mobile

2010-01-13T03:21:00.002+00:00

Finally I have time on my hands to work a bit. This time I decided to use a similar technique but in lager scale. I decided to cover almoust all the illustration with a explosion of textures. I had a really great time doing it, and I think it shows in the final result! Enjoy!

Asian

2009-11-30T01:19:00.005+00:00

I woke up one day and had this image in my head, a image of a asian guy looking calm and a litle bit tired, almoust like he was telling me to relax... so, I had to do this poster. I used some new textures and patterns that I'm designing and I mix them with old textures that I found everywere in Lisbon. Enjoy!

2009-10-14T04:23:00.002+01:00

After almoust 2 months without posting anything... here it is finally! This is a commissioned work that I did for a friend of mine. I used the basic techinque that I use in all my works. First I draw it in Illustrator and then add some textures of old paper, old stamps or just stuff I find in the streets. Enjoy it!

Bold

2009-08-18T05:05:00.002+01:00

Russian

2009-07-18T21:43:00.002+01:00

It's a fact, I'm defently back to the old style of illustration I had 2 years ago. Ofcourse with some changes but basically it's the same. I used some textures of an old russian note and did a drawing of a friend of mine... hope he doent mind. Enjoy!

japanese

After a all day stressing about work and deadlines I finally had time to relax and do this poster. This was a design that I've been doing for quite a while now. It has more then 200 layers and it was great fun to do. Enjoy.

Walking

2009-07-01T14:06:00.003+01:00

In this poster I went back to basics. I decided to go back to a style that I used to had in the beggining. I just love to play arround with those textures and colors in Photoshop. By the way this poster was made for a non profit organization. Enjoy!

Triangle kid

2009-06-30T02:56:00.002+01:00

I'm almoust addicted to this kind of graphism., this sort of pontism made with geometric shapes. I've draw all of this in Illustrator and then passed to photoshop to add some textures and to balance the color. This is the final result. Enjoy.

Thinking

2009-06-09T01:12:00.002+01:00

Finally I post something here on my blog. This time I try to do something a little bit different, so I decided to put a black background. I really think that yellow and balck work quite well together, and if you join some bits of blue the match it's perfect. I did it all in Illustrator, add some textures and balanced some colors on photoshop. Enjoy!
