To the death!

I must be on my "three monochromatic characters" phase.
Or something.

Party Gone Out of Bound!

Sunny Saturday and B-52s.

Europeans

Vacations

I´m off for the next month. Here´s something.

One day

...I´ll animate these guys from my old comic strip. It seems like forever ago, but it would be tons of fun. Now, if I could only find some sort of time-making device....

Two sides

One Man Band

Ho ho ho

Happy Holidays!

May you always get what you wish for...

 

New Birdo Animation

This year marked the centennial of one of Brazil´s most influential writers, Mario de Andrade. Birdo Studio was hired to direct, animate and do most everything for a film that celebrates Mario´s legacy.

If you´re not from Brazil, I´m pretty sure the film will make no sense whatsoever. But, hey, just watch the pictures moving then. I handled the character animations for the "mad scientist" (who´s supposed to be Mario de Andrade) and for the first bits of the "creature". It was a fun gig, even though animating these sorts of designs on Flash can be a chore sometimes. Cheers!

Developed Penguin

And so "Oswaldo" keeps on going. We got some pretty great feedback so far and I surely learned a lot in the process of developing the show. Now it´s time to put the project out there into the wild and see what happens. It feels right, and that´s what´s been really motivating. Here´s some concept art I made for the last pitch. I´ll probably tinker with the BGs some more. Cheers!

Pitching Oswaldo

Just pitched my "Oswaldo" show last Friday alongside my good folks from Birdo Studio. It was a great experience. This image opened our presentation:

Cheers!

Pitch art

First poster for my "Oswaldo" pitch.

It's about a penguin who's born and raised in sunny Rio de Janeiro - and now has to go to school for the first time.
You can read a brief synopsis here.

Cheers!
