Hammer Killer - page 3

Hey guys! Time to get hammered: here's the third and final page of my first Hammer Killer story. Hopefully I'll get around to creating more material with him in the future, because I have a strange fondness for this character. Hope you enjoyed the story - or the drawings, at least. I'll keep my promise of translating this, cheesy one-liners and all!

Hammer Killer - page 2

Hey, guys!

Here's the second page of my 3-page epic (ah!) comic of the Hammer Killer. My original black and white version of this page was exhibited on the International Comics Festival of Beja, so I don't have it with me right now to take a photo of the inks and post it. But anyway, here's the colored version and a photo of my little niche in Beja. Enjoy!

Enjoy, and stay tuned for the third page!
P.S. I'm sorry for posting this in portuguese only, but I believe the hammering to be an universal language (I'm kidding, I've just been incredibly busy and didn't get around to translate it. I hope to do it sometime!).

Hammer Killer - page 1

It just hit me that I never got around to posting the 3-page comic I made for Zona Fantástica (a comics/illustration magazine). So why not do it now? I've been extremely busy and it's been difficult to find the time to produce new material, so that gives me a good excuse to post pages that are a few months old.

The comic I did was supposed to work like a Grindhouse trailer. I get a real kick out of those old, horror-grindhouse movie trailers - which are frequently better than the movies themselves - with lots of violence and cheesy taglines, so I tried to capture a little bit of that spirit with the comic. It was also a way to use my character - the Hammer Killer - on something other than a few random illustrations. He's a psychopath - much like Jason or Michael Myers - that comes out in St. John's night and starts hammering people to death. Fun, uh? Well, the joke is that in my hometown (Oporto, Portugal) people celebrate St. John's night by going outside and hammering each other in the head with plastic hammers. This guy just happens to use a real one.

Well, enough typing for now. I leave you with the first page of the Hammer Killer's comic debut. Click on the page to fullview, and enjoy!

If you want to buy any or all of the Zona issues so far, you can do so at Zona's Blog (shipping is free inside Portugal).

Walter Sobchak

The Big Lebowski is an awesome movie, and that is a good enough reason to break out the good old pencil and paper and work on a little fan art. That's what I did last year, and this was the result. I did this in a time crunch, so I used a very simple coloring technique, to mimic the style and look of an old, worn out comic. I have to do a more elaborate piece dedicated to the Dude and the rest of the awesome cast of characters this movie has, but, for now, here's Walter Sobchak keeping you company. Enjoy!

Great Scott! 25 already?

Yeah, it's true. Today is the 25th birthday of Back to the Future, that cinematic slice of awesomeness! My friend J.B. Martins, writer of Kubrick's Garage, said it'd be cool if I drew up a little pic to celebrate this important date. I didn't have much time to put something together, but here is what I came up with. I hope you enjoy it! Click on the image to fullview.


Happy birthday to Doc Brown and Marty McFly. Thanks for all the hours of fun!

Getting a life

Since I now have the reputation of being somewhat of a Scott Pilgrim nut, I have to keep that up. Last week I came across a couple of free hours to make a drawing and this is what I came up - a drawing inspired by Scott Pilgrim's movie trailer. I finished coloring it today. I'll update this post with the linework when I get the original drawing back (I wasn't home when I drew it). I hope you enjoy this!

And hey, movie distributors. Please make this movie open in Portuguese theaters. The sooner, the better. Deal?

Scott Pilgrim

Alright. You've been hanging out here for a while, plus you might know me from twitter and facebook too, and if that's the case, you know I think Scott Pilgrim is pretty much the coolest thing since the dawn of times. I really love the comic and I couldn't be more excited for the movie and the game. I mean, did you see those trailers? Epic stuff. Well, when the first movie teaser came out, I made this drawing. I did it very quickly (it's pretty much a glorified sketch), but I had to draw something Scott-related. Ta-da!

I'm sorry that this isn't exactly new work, but I'm still dealing with a horrible lack of drawing time. I hope you enjoy this either way!
