Lisbon’s Sardines
These are my entries for the competition “Sardinhas das Festas de Lisboa” for Saint Antonio’s festivities in the city. The 2014 entry is called “Olho de(no) Peixe, olho no Gato/Fish on the eye, eye on the cat” which means be careful because the cat may try to eat your fish.
The
inspiration for
this illustration was the amazing architecture of my hometown.
The 2015 entry is called “Lisbon, Princess of the Ocean”. This illustration is a tribute to several representations of the city of Lisbon trough time. The city has been always represented metaphorically as a woman; she has the

ÚniQa Experience 2010/2011
During the Christmas campaign of 2010, “Delta cafés” (a Portuguese coffee brand) launched the campaign “Úniqa” where forty-seven portuguese talents of illustration and design collaborated to make a unique coffee machine to a unique person.
These
customizations were suggest-
ed by the client and painted directly in the coffee machine with
“Posca”
markers (water ink markers).
I was one of the forty-seven Portuguese Artists. Besides working directly with the costumer I also participated in a collective mural

This

and illustrations based on mine and my friends dogs gluttony for food and other things.
I
always wonder what’s in the
mind of my dogs when they do that funny gluttonous look on their muzzles.
They’re

they must be imaging incredible tastes and sensing amazing smells.
