Visit! is a project I've been developing for over 10 years. I've started designing posters to fantastical and fictional pop culture locations with the initial purpose to get better at drawing sceneries and backgrounds (I felt that was something missing from my illustrations).

Over time, this idea grew into something much bigger...I've learned a lot challenging myself, and I can also say that all the frustration and hard work paid off. There are 78 designs in the collection, and I hope to make a couple more.

If you want to support or just want to hang one of these pieces into your wall, please go to the official store.

Since 2007 I’ve been trying to learn about fashion & t-shirt design. I could never foresee the incredible, creative and successful journey I would have.

I’ve won over 100 design competitions, many of them at the biggest and most influential t-shirt company of the past 10 years, Threadless (designer of the year 2012; black & white; death; riot fest 2013; kid robot x threadless; alternate history; parody; surrealism; threadless 20k competition; landscapes; the x-files; 5 words or less; avant garde; the rocketeer; CMYK; travel; typography; stickers, and more).

Looking back at all these designs & achievements, I can only feel very proud of myself and my dedication.

I was invited to create the main illustrations and spotify covers for “Sonastério Ilumina”, a Music/video project that invites famous bands & artists to perform live in their groundbreaking studio.

How luck am I to collaborate with so many amazing artists!

I was introduced to the universe of collage in the early days of College, as an exercise of fluid experimentation. The teacher wanted us to expand your minds and lose the sense of perfection when doing things. We had to go with the flow, it was a king of visual brainstorm, in which the concept of the pieces where being built/ form, alongside the collage.

Since then, I’ve been using this technique to practice compositions and concepts that are less strict or defined, and many times introspective. All of these are autoral pieces.

The first time I was fascinated by art was on an ordinary day of mid-school, when a teacher introduced us to various books of famous artists. Among them, one caught my eye like nothing else: Salvador Dali. Since that moment on, my passion to art started to flourish more and more, and I found in Dali a strong source of inspiration. I love everything about dreams and surrealism, it’s where I feel I have the power to create and explore my own world.

What is art? What is Pop? What is Poop? These are the main questions that comes to my mind when i'm working (in the bathroom).

Jokes aside, I am a nostalgia boy. I've been inspired by retro/vintage aesthetics since I had Art History in college. Maybe it's the low-tech print imperfections, the textures, the absurd subjects, the typography, and everything else, that makes the images feel more human and personal, as if you could understand that there's someone behind that piece, and not just a computer. Or maybe it's just because it makes me remember my awesome childhood.

The fact is that this nostalgic culture has shaped part of my style and keeps inspiring me along my endless journey as a illustrator

Watercolor is my favorite media, and quite possible the one that I had most success in developing an unic/strong style. Most of these where done using traditional media mixed with digital touches. At the present moment, i'm a featured artist at Grumbacher, as a watercolor expert (not sure about that but i'm very proud anyways)

Finding new meanings an narratives though repetition is one of my favorite things in desgin.
