Cuckoo's Crew...and the girlfriend.

the girlfriend <3




Not part of that set of three illustrations, just some extra drawings.

The pink section of the newspaper

I illustrated an article from the pink section of the newspaper. Yeah, don't ask.
It was about Chelsea Clinton getting married in the summer of 2010 with Marc Mezvinsky, son of a corrupt ex-congressman and a congresswoman, democratic, just like the Clintons. They both went to Stanford, he's a investment banker, she's studying health policy and management.
You never thought i'd do a piece on Clinton's daughter huh? Me neither.

Farrusco - Bichos, Miguel Torga

Acrylics on cardboard, various sizes


Long time no see!
Here are three illustrations of Farrusco, a story from Miguel Torga's Bichos. It's about a single girl who asked a cuckoo how many years did she have till marriage...he sang three times, meaning she'd be single for three years. She got really mad and this blackbird, Farrusco, laughed like crazy. She asked it again and the cuckoo didn't stop singing! She got really disappointed, but when she least expected, Farrusco showed up again and had another good laugh. She brightened up and with Farrusco's contagious grin, she started laughing so bad, that her laugh flied through the air ending up in the cuckoo's ear! The night started coming and Farrusco lied in his modest bed, resting so he could start his day early in the morning.

I summed it up by illustrating 3 key moments of the story through it's onomatopoeias.

Enjoy!

J-K - Complexo de Inferioridade Ep - Artwork

For those who have been following my blog, it's no news that i'm in charge of the artwork of the portuguese net label MONSTER JINX. The first edition, MONSTRO ROBOT, was really well received, and has proven for sure that hard work and doing what you love pays off. It's awesomeness is beyond limits and it's certainly one of the albums of the year!
And to join it, is now COMPLEXO DE INFERIORIDADE ep, by J-K.
Once again, may sound suspicious coming from me, but take a listen, it's really worth it. I can't stop hearing it!!! Here's the press release (for those who read portuguese), the artwork, and a download link for the ep!


"Depois de Monstro Robot, chega-nos o segundo projecto da série de lançamentos que constituem a Primeira Vaga de edições da Monster Jinx, o EP "Complexo de Inferioridade" do rapper J-K.

A relva tem que ser mais verde no local onde este trabalho foi escrito, dada a naturalidade com que o J-K expressa as suas imagens caprichosas, auxiliadas pelo seu tom de voz único. Peculiarmente, e apesar de nunca nos incentivar a tal, há todo um sentimento positivo que toma conta de nós ao ouvir este trabalho que caminha sempre entre a simplicidade desarmante e a densidade poética. A musicalidade é contagiante neste registo, cortesia da tendência natural do J-K a atribuir nuances melódicas ao seu rap e ao trabalho de produção de DarkSunn, Nexus, Taseh e Stray (que também rima no tema título do EP).

J-K veio para provar que há espiritualidade e ligação às raízes no rap alternativo."







J-K - "Complexo de Inferioridade EP"

Dogs Playing Poker - an homage

So, i decided to make a personal homage to this painting by C.M.Coolidge, part of a series of 16 paintings from 1903 (Dogs Playing Poker), his only known work. This in particular is really referenced in popular culture and considered pretty kitschy, but i felt drawn to it from the first time i saw it. I find it really ahead of it's time, i love the quirkyness and all the details.
And here's my take on it!

J-K - Complexo de Inferioridade // Coming Soon

Another Monster Jinx edition, with artwork by no other than me.
The EP is really one of a kind. Just wait for it!

"O Congo viu-o nascer, a Sertã criou-o, Lisboa dá-lhe casa e a Monster Jinx mostra-o ao mundo. Denso e desconcertante, mas sempre musical e cheio de acrobacias líricas, o J-K demonstra neste trabalho porque é que o Jinx o recrutou para a nossa base.

Com produção de DarkSunn, Nexus,Taseh e Stray (que também participa como rapper no tema título), scratch do mais recente campeão do DMC Portugal, Dj SlimCutz e direcção gráfica da min, “Complexo de Inferioridade”
estará disponível brevemente.

J-K, o império contra-ataca. "
