Webdesign
Most people ask me where do i get ideas for my fantasy landscapes, imaginary worlds and geographies, so i decided to put these links here to show you.
I love hiking and exploring and i also love photography
so usualy i combine the two things and i´m always taking photos of every place i go to.
When i do my hiking mini-trips i never leave home without my sketchpad and my camera, which is actually just a regular 2.0 megapixel Huawei Cell Phone simple gadget
as i don´t own a real digital camera yet.
So, all the pics you can see in my Facebook photogalleries were taken by me in an area of about 30km around my home and as you can see i have plenty of landscape and scenery to choose from. Mainly, mountain, beach and seascape wich are my main source of visual inspiration really, along with books and (oriental) cinema.

About the work Children´s book artist wanted ? About me.
Probably the most boring section on this website... Nobody reads this things anyway so here it goes some personal babling with nothing interesting to say. I never know what to say... as I don´t believe many people will even care to read it. Personaly i´m never much interested in the professional path of a fantasy artist or children´s book illustrator I like because I think most art speaks for its author and so I hope mine can do the same. ;) In the begining. I´m 41 years old, i´ve been drawing since i can remember but i´ve done this professionaly since 1992. When i applied for an illustration job in a Portuguese videogame company wich at the time was producing the first ever PC videogame (still in DOS) called "Gambys" and i ended up becoming the illustrator and graphic artist responsable not only for all the concept design of all the characters, the whole Gamby-World but also for the graphics creation, sprite design and animation and 3D sequences (All the 3D animations were rendered back then on a 3D Studio 2.0 still in DOS and using a 486 PC at 66MHZ if you can believe that. Each frame sometimes took more than four hours to render. All the 2D sprites were done using the old Deluxe Paint software). Download Gambys here. Software design. Although the game was released in Portugal and Spain with excelent reviews, producing videogames in Portugal at the time (1995) was still much expensive and so after this i designed hospitality software for the next ten years and worked in graphic design while at the same time kept illustrating several commisssions abroad. Mainly illustrations for short stories in magazines. |

Gallery of Illustrations
More illustration work samples ranging from 1989 up to this year of 2011 The arrival of the Internet. When the Internet arrived (yes kids, there was a time when there was no World of Warcraft), many oportunities started to appear and so i kept on doing illustrations here, there and everywhere. Mostly stuff for the Portuguese market but step by step international commissions also begun to arrive at my desk wich allowed me to do all kinds of pics within my children´s books style illustration, for greeting card companies, book covers, school manuals, etc. All complemented with plenty of graphic design also as I always balanced my work between traditional illustration and digital graphic design. >VIEW MY GRAPHIC DESIGN & WEBDESIGN PORTFOLIO My favorite type of work are commissions to do fantasy landscapes and imaginary worlds, but i also love to create promotional comics for several diferent marketing or educational objectives. So if you have a project like that don´t hesitate to contact-me today. Personal stuff Not only i do this kind of work, but in my spare time i love to write about movies and i have my very own blog about Oriental Cinema that i love (Blog still in Portuguese, but soon to be available in English). Also i do a lot of scenery photography on my hiking trips. |
