Mountain Dew + NBA

Styleframes comissioned by aggressive.tv for a piece for Mountain Dew + NBA featuring Joey Bada$$.

I really got into this dark urban atmopshere, underground vibe and a weird twist in the mix with the Basketball Court lines gaining life.

Cinema 4D + Octane + Photoshop as tools of choice.

The Broccoli City Festival

I was approached by the cool guys of The Broccoli City Festival, to help visualize and bring to life their Id for the 2017 edition of the festival.

They were aiming for an litteral approach this year, and needed me to bring an actual Broccoli City to life. The end result is this huge broccoli world displayed across a series of illustrations.

The challenge here was technical. I decided to go with Cinema 4D + Octane for this job and It took a lot of tweaking since I was working with very limited GPU power.

Superinteressante Magazine - The Refrigerator Saga

Once again asked by Superinteressante Magazine Art Director, Fabricio Miranda, to come up with some illustrations.

The idea here was to tell the history of the Refrigerators across time focusing on how different and revolutionary It were, and the huge impact It had in the world.

The inspiration was the classical spaceship door opening scenes from sci-fi movies, with a ring of light and lots of fog and atmosphere. Kinda like something from another world.

Chevrolet Trax

Concept Art comissioned by the cool guys of aggressive.tv.

A really fun project to make. I designed the horse and had a lot of fun with It.

It was the first time I used Octane for a project, and the timing was a real challenge, since the full development time frame was around 8 hours.

Superinteressante Magazine - On the way to Proxima Centauri

I was approached by Iara Adeodato to come up with a double page illustration for Superinteressante Magazine.

I always wanted to work with Superinteressante, they are a really cool magazine here in Brazil and a lot of friends and super talented artist that I admire worked with then in the past.

The briefing here was to imagine and give life to the concept of Earth like plantets, more specifically Proxima Centauri. It was really interesting to observe the potential similarities  and differences between planets and how simple factors can change some absolut concepts we have in mind, like the color of the water, vegetation, sky etc.

36 Days of Type 2016

I decided to participate on this years @36daysoftype the morning It begun. Like most artists nowadays, I've always being intrigued by everyday projects. Since this one had a set date to finish, I've decided to give It a shot as a test to myself. 

Some letters are cooler than others, and in the end I do enjoy the whole of the series I came up with.

Vivaldi Four Seasons

One of the coolest projects I had the pleasure to work.

There was an orchestra performing live the full Four Seasons by Vivaldi, inside a abandoned Foundry, with video mapping following the song.

I contributed with some concept art and art directed the whole thing.

Drone One

Personal project for technique and workflow practice.

Alcatel

Couple concepts for an Alcatel TV spot pitch, comissioned by the guys from aggressive.tv. 
Cool colors, minimalist environments and cool geometry. 
Had a blast!

Adweek - Your brain on e-mail

I've been contacted by Bryan Bartlett from Adweek to develop a concept based on the idea of the brain process behind how people interact with their e-mails.

It was a really fun concept to develop and I had full creative freedom in the process, ending up with an surreal and deconstructed version of the e-mail creation process.

You can see the article clicking here.

Halloween Horror Nights

Two concepts commissioned by aggressive.tv for the Halloween Horror Nights TV spot.

The scenes were based on famous horror franchises (Walking Dead and The Exorcist for example). It was a really fast paced project, and helped puch my skills to another level.

3M Scotch

I've been asked by the cool guys of aggressive.tv to design the scenario of a TV spot for a new 3M product line.

It was a really cool concept to come up with and made me work out of my confort zone theme wise.

Computer Arts - Jan/16

I've been asked by Jo Gulliver to make 4 illustrations for the january 2016 edition of Computer Arts magazine. 

The theme was "upgrade yourself" and you can read the whole thing here.
 

Audi TT

A few concepts for the release of the Audi TT. 

A huge ramp was built and had It's surface mapped to receive the final animation projection.

It was a really different job to be part, with an amazing team, and an awesome result in the end.

IEEE Spectrum - Nasa Z2

Cover Illustration for IEEE Spectrum magazine.

The idea was to come up with a concept to the yet to be announced Z2 suit that Nasa plans to use on the Mars missions.

Art Direction of Mark Montgomery.

WIRE Abstrakt

I've been asked by the talented Kristina Milkovic to do a series of illustrations for Abstrakt magazine.

Abstrakt is published by WIRE, one of the biggest Think Tanks of Europe.

In many ways this project was completely different of anything I had done before, and really opened my mind for different approaches to editorial illustration.

Natal Iluminado

A Christmas projection show, telling the story of the world. All projections was made on the ceiling of one of the biggest churches in Sao Paulo, followed by a live orchestra.

Singular

Personal illustration.

A gravitational singularity or spacetime singularity is a location where the quantities that are used to measure the gravitational field become infinite in a way that does not depend on the coordinate system.

Tetra

Personal illustration

All of the Tetriminos are capable of single and double clears. I, J, and L are able to clear triples.

Only the I Tetrimino has the capacity to clear four lines simultaneously, and this is referred to as a “tetris”.

Sky Punch!

Personal illustration.

Because of their rarity and unusual appearance, as well as very little exposure in media, fall streak holes (aka Skypunch) have been mistaken for or attributed to unidentified flying objects.

Astro Metal Front

Personal project. A real game changer for my career, since It helped push my skills to another level.

Starfleet Jerks

Because spaceships are awesome!

Silver Machine
