Kubrick's Garage - 18

I'm already working on page number 19 of the ongoing Kubrick's Garage webcomic, and I just realized I forgot to post page number 18. It's no big deal, since the stories are mostly unrelated, but I want to show it anyway. Once again, I apologize for the lack of translation - it gets tricky to translate somethings properly. But I think it's pretty self-explanatory.

Click on the page for the full-size! And don't forget, the webcomic has a facebook page that is regularly updated with sketches, drawings and, of course, the finished pages. Go here to check it out!

I'll leave you with a little bonus. I didn't get to photograph any of the sketches I did for people at both "Zona Fantástica"'s release parties, but I did get to photograph some sketches I did on a couple of volumes for my friends. Jules Winnfield is up first, and then on another book I drew a cartoony Shaun, from Shaun of the Dead, and Watchmen's Ozymandias. Enjoy!

Iron Man

Well, Iron Man 2 is coming to theaters this week, and even though it's not getting the best reviews so far, I'm still curious to go see it. The first one was a very solid piece of entertainment and actually spiked my interest for a character I never cared much about before. I thought the sequel gave me a great excuse to draw Iron Man, especially since I never did before - that's right, this is my first Iron Man! This is also the first place where I'll post this, so you might get a look at this before the good folks over at my other galleries. Hope you like it!

Rex Splode

Do you guys read Invincible? NO? Well then, what are you waiting for? It's only one of the coolest comics around these days and you should absolutely check it out. Which leads me to this drawing I made of Rex Splode, one of the secondary characters of the comic. In case you haven't seen it already, enjoy! And if you have seen it before, enjoy it yet again!

Invinciible and its characters are a creation of the wonderful minds of Robert Kirkman and Cory Walker.

Cadavre Exquis page 44

A cadavre exquis, or "exquisite corpse" in english, is a collaborative method of creation in which each author adds a sentence, or a drawing, to a previous set of sentences or drawings made by other authors, in order to create a story that makes sense in the whole. Maybe this isn't the best explanation ever, but most of you are probably familiar with the concept of the thing already.

Well, portuguese comic artist extraordinaire Daniel Maia started a Cadavre Exquis back in 2008, with the participation of many portuguese comic artists and illustrators, each artist creating a page. The project is a lot of fun, and Daniel invited me to contribute with the 44th page of this ongoing story! I accepted, of course, and it a lot of fun. After 43 pages, you can imagine how insane the story got, with different people putting their own spin on the characters and events, and my page ended up being no different. I went a little crazy with it and made a giant baby stomp around! I apologize to my international followers for only having the page in portuguese, but don't worry - it doesn't make a whole lot of sense detached from the other pages, so understanding the plot is not essential. And it's pretty self-explanatory anyway. Still, here it is, and I hope you enjoy it!

Kick Ass

Kick Ass opens in portuguese cinemas today, and to celebrate, I drew a quick Kick Ass! I really enjoyed the comic, and everyone who's seen it says the movie is great, so I'm definitely very curious to see it.

Kubrick's Garage - 17

As you may or may not know (you probably don't know if you're an entirely new visitor), I've been collaborating with my friend J.B. Martins on a regular webcomic focused on cinema and pop culture. It's called Kubrick's Garage. You might have heard of it if you used to follow my other blog, or follow me on deviantart or twitter - I pretty much talk about it a lot, not only because I want to promote it, but because I'm genuinely proud of this project. J.B. delivers consistently funny scripts, and I love drawing them. But since I haven't posted anything about the webcomic on this blog so far, I'll leave you with the latest strip, number 17. I apologize that the text is in portuguese, but I didn't get a chance to translate it yet.

By the way, Kubrick's Garage has a fan page on facebook, where we post sketches, finished strips, and all kinds of other goodies. So come join us there: Kubrick's Garage on Facebook.

Bang Bang

Hello, everyone! Your eyes are looking at an exclusive. This is a drawing that I hadn't yet posted on deviantart or elsewhere, and I decided it was time to give you something to look at that hadn't been posted anywhere before.
A while ago, late last year, my friend Hugo Teixeira asked me to contribute with a pin-up for the upcoming volume of his manga, Bang Bang. It was a pleasure to contribute with this piece for his book:

And here is a photo of it, on the book:

Enjoy!
