Dog Mendonça e Pizzaboy

Last week, I finally got to buy the second volume of the adventures of two portuguese comic book heroes, Dog Mendonça and Pizzaboy. To put you up to speed, Dog Mendonça and Pizzaboy are the main characters of what's probably the most popular portuguese comic these days, and they're a creation of my hyper-talented friend Filipe Melo. Filipe worked with the awesome Juan Cavia and Santiago Villa to bring these characters to life in some of the funniest comic adventures you'll ever read. They're so much fun that I made this drawing for Filipe and the team.

The second volume - "The Extraordinary Adventures of Dog Mendonça and Pizzaboy II - Apocalipse"- was just published in Portugal, but fear not - if you want to get to know these guys, pick up Dark Horse Presents #4, 5 and 6, and there you'll find a new Dog Mendonça and Pizzaboy adventure.

Enjoy!

A Garagem de Kubrick no P3

I hope my english-speaking followers will forgive me, but this entry will be written in portuguese!

Ora bem, hoje é mais um daqueles dias a destacar na história do webcomic que eu e o J.B. Martins fazemos com muito gosto, A Garagem de Kubrick. Isto porque o nosso webcomic teve direito a ver um artigo totalmente dedicado a ele no P3.


Fazendo minhas as palavras do J.B.: "Se querem saber porque é que a Garagem de Kubrick se chama assim e quantos morcegos fomos obrigados a degolar com os dentes só para pintar a primeira edição, cliquem aqui."

Happy Halloween

Since it's almost Halloween, here are a couple of Halloween related pieces for you:

I drew this simple Nosferatu for Monster Month! I was planning on doing a bunch more drawings, but I just realized we’re nearing the end of October and I won’t have time to draw more Monster Month submissions. Bummer. If so, I hope you liked this one. You can check it out over at Monster Month.

In addition to this, Chris Haley drew a pretty kick ass black and white set of Halloween-related characters and made them available for people to color. The drawings were too much fun and I couldn’t resist, so here’s Chris Haley’s young mummy dressed up as frankenstein with my colors on it.

Make sure you check out the other drawings over at Chris’ Tumblr, and make sure you check out the webcomic Let’s Be Friends Again. It’s pretty much my favorite webcomic.

Have a happy and safe Halloween, you guys!

Jamie Lannister

Last week, I quickly wipped up this Jamie Lannister drawing to go with the previous ones I did of Jon Snow and Ned Stark. I'm planning to draw some more characters, I think it'd be fun to have a whole set of these drawings. We'll see how that goes. For now, hope you enjoy this new one!

A Garagem de Kubrick - So long, partner.

On the most recent page of our webcomic, A Garagem de Kubrick (or, in english, Kubrick’s Garage), me and J.B. Martins (my friend and writer of said webcomic) decided to pay a little homage to Steve Jobs. I translated the page for you guys, so go ahead and check it out.

Fido

Here’s something new for you. A few months ago, Matt Mogk - author and creator of the Zombie Research Society - invited me to do an illustration for his upcoming book. The illustration should be of a famous zombie from film history. This is exactly my cup of tea, so even though I didn’t have much time for drawing, I managed to create this black and white simple drawing of Fido, the zombie.

Matt Mogk’s book - Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Zombies - is now out and you can get it through Amazon, Book Depository and all that. It features my ilustration and many others by some awesome artists, so make sure you buy it!

Plus, you know, zombies. Matt Mogk is pretty much an authority on the subject, so I’m sure you’re gonna want to have this book by your side when the plague of the undead hits.

EDIT - I now have the book in my hands, and I can't wait to read it. Here's the published Fido:

The Rocketeer

Can you believe I had never watched this movie? Shame on me, I know. All is right with the world now, though. I drew this as a gift for Pedro, because he's awesome and he introduced me to The Rocketeer!
