Someday we'll find the rainbow connection

Festival MAB

Last weekend, I was at a small comics festival that took place in my hometown, and I drew stuff for whoever wanted it. I always love drawing for people, and hanging out with my art buddies, which is something I can’t do very often, so it was a good day. Here are a couple of photos and sketches I drew while I was there.

Our small gang of artists - Fil, Manuel Alves, Ana Oliveira, Pedro Carvalho and me.

Me and Pedro, drawing away! God, I need a haircut.

I don't know what's wrong with my face, but I'm drawing a zombie.

Here a page with two zombies: one drawn by Pedro (bottom) one by me (top), for our friend Rui Alex.

This zombie was drawn for the very nice Paulo Brito.

Here's me and Pedro doing our part on setting up our gerrilla Zona art exhibit!

Basically, I drew a lot of zombies.

Misfits - Nathan

I loved the first two seasons of Misfits - a fantastic show that you should be watching, if you're not doing that already. Nathan Young is pretty much one of the best, funniest characters ever, so here's a quick drawing of him.

Enjoy, and make sure you watch Misfits!

A Garagem de Kubrick 38

I went ahead and translated the latest page from the webcomic I draw, A Garagem de Kubrick, for your viewing pleasure. Don't forget to fullview! Hope you dig it :)

Han and Chewie

I did this piece for a special event (Tertúlia de BD de Lisboa - a monthly dinner where a lot of active portuguese comic fans and creators gather to eat, draw and talk) on which I was a special guest this month.

Han and Chewie, everybody! Me and Pedro have been revisiting the Star Wars saga, so when I sat down to draw, this immediately came to mind.

I apologize for not updating the blog in a while, but I've been working on a lot of stuff that I can't show right now. Good news is that in a little while I'll have a whole new batch of comics to show!

Looking back on 2011

I noticed that some awesome artists I really admire (Evan "Doc" Shaner, Dean Trippe and Mike Maihack) updated their tumblrs/websites recently with a look back at some of the art they produced on 2011. It's an awesome idea, so here's a little montage with some of the pieces I did on 2011. Enjoy!

MVT'S Absurd Auditorium

I had the pleasure of collaborating with my friend Magnus von Tesla on a brand new 2 page comic! Magnus wrote the script, I then pencilled, ink and colored the comic, and then it went back to Magnus, who worked his lettering magic. Here it is for you to see - a reflexion on the song "Every Breath you Take" (aka The Stalker Song). Enjoy!
