Playboy

Here’s an illustration I did for Playboy that is on the shelves this month in the US.

Really nice to work with Cody Tilson who did a great job with the page layout.

Redesigned Blog & Sketches

I redesigned the blog to keep up with the recent changes on my website so they all follow the same visual pattern and way of presentation, more minimal I would say.

With everything new and blank, I hope to start writing on things that inspire or inspired me at some point, my expectation is to post something that way in the coming weeks.

And here are some moleskine sketches:

YORE – Last Days

This is the last week to see YORE @ Thinkpace Gallery in Los Angeles. After that the ephemeral mural -no pun intended-  that I did specially for the exhibition will be painted over.

I would like to thank a few people that made the opening, my LA stay and the whole 18 month process easier easier: Ingrid, my family, my friends from SP, Ryan, Shelly, Cristiano, Andrew Hem, Simone, Edwin, Amanda, Allen, Kent, Mari, Audrey and many others. Thank you, really.
