Hello!
After a long time, i'm participating on Illustration Friday!
This week the theme was imperfect.
So after some doodling i realize that it could be read as i'mperfect, by adding the little symbol. And i also remembered of the ideal of beauty and perfection of greek civiization.
Here's a photo of my sketch!
Done with gouache and scanned!
Here are some close ups!
Hope you enjoy it!
Take care,
André!
Hello!
I'm happy to share with you my latest published book, and it's a comicbook!
It's a project i made together with Pedro Pires, written by Hugo Jesus and published by Tugaland.
It belongs to a collection called Pop Rock Português, (Portuguese Pop Rock) and it comes with a music cd of each band.
The cover is made by Pedro Pires!
Here are some spreads of the inside! The watercolor like are from Pedro, the ink and digital colors are from me, and the lettering was made by Hugo.
For the portuguese readers, you can read a small review here, http://bongop-leituras-bd.blogspot.com/2011/07/bd-pop-rock-portugues-trabalhadores-do.html

Hello Everyone!
Here's my take on Creepy, the newest theme for HungryForLines Blog
Made with pencil on paper, inked with brush, and the blood and type digitally added.
Now some process!
After some doodling on my sketchbook i did a test with a brushpen to so if i liked the idea.
After that i did the final pencils.
When i was happy with that result, i inked it with a brush. Here is a serie of closeups of the different characters.
Hope you enjoy it!
Take care,
André

Oh the joy of drawing just for the FUN of it!…
Take care,

Updated website!, originally uploaded by boredomsketch.
I have updated my portfolio website.
It has my latest work, including illustrated books, photos of my solo exhibition.
The one aspect i'm most happy with is the home page. It's easier now to get a visual idea of what i do, and the recent projects i'm doing.
Take a look at http://www.boredomsketch.com/v2/
Hope you enjoy it!

Ride Me!, originally uploaded by boredomsketch.
This week, for my participation on HungryForLines blog, http://hungryforlines.com/2011/05/06/ride-2/, i tried a different technique. I used monotyping prints, which consists on painting on a glass and then putting a paper on it, pressing it against, making a unique print. I did many of them, with oils and then linotype based water, but this was the best.
Hope you enjoy it.

HFL - Death, originally uploaded by boredomsketch
This is my take on the Death theme.
It’s a cliché, but i really wanted to draw a skull, and explore a different approach, trying other materials.
So i made it with gouache, colorpencil, and a bit of digital linework and typo.
I'll soon post some photos of the original painting and some close ups.

Que o Diabo Seja Cego, Surdo e Mudo, originally uploaded by boredomsketch.
Poster design and Illustration for the play "Que o Diabo Seja Cego, Surdo e Mudo", performed by the students at ESEC University, in Teatrao Theatre.
I had to follow Teatrão's Graphic style, so the illustration was the part which allowed me more freedom.
I made the illustration with brush and ink on paper, scanned it, and colored it digitally.
Here are the printed goodies!
From left to right, the flyer, the poster and a brochure with a few words about the play and technical team behind the production and the actor's names as well.
For more info on the play, but in Portuguese, go here, http://oteatrao.blogspot.com/2011/01/seis-mulheres-seis-segredos.html
Take care,
André
