Digital Painting - Egyptian Fan

This started as a weird life drawing my friend invited me to, in a classic victorian San Franciscan 5 story house, the whole thing reminded me of Eyes Wide Shut, the movie... I was there to draw.

Inspired pehaps unconsciously by the revolution in Egypt at the time, mixing it with Conan the barbarian.

Digital Painting - Fancy Escargot. A Gala event like no other

A group of us were atempting to do daily draiwings a little back ago, we actually got somethings in, when we had some down time. I did this for fun when doodling spirals, this came to mind...

Eurice e Orfeu

Isso 'e mesmo uma velha historia.

Milhares de anos atra's, Orfeu era triste e melanco'lico,

mas um dia as cordas de seu violao que apenas seu amor procurou,

veio uma voz falar dos beijos perdidos dos la'bios de Eurice.

This is really an old story,

Thousands of years ago, Orpheus was sad and melancholic

but one day of the strings of his guitar that only his love searched,

It came a voice to speak of the lost kisses from Eurydice's lips.

Morreu como uma flor - Died like a flower

Digital Painting

This is influenced by my love for samba and choro, like (As rosas nao falam) the roses don't speak from the master Cartola, and oldies from 1940 like (Linda Flor que morreu) Beautiful flower that died by Gilberto Alvez.
