What’s it worth?

It’s still so worth it! After a long time feeling drain out and with nothing to say here, I’ve found this amazing typeface from my friend Network Osaka. I really admire his work (you can check it here) and this typeface just ‘made’ me do something with it. I shall experiment with it a lot [...]

Freedom and Bobby McGee

I’ve always liked this sentence from the song ‘Me and Bobby McGee’. I really love the version that Janis Joplin sang. So here it is a small type and grid play I’ve made from this song. Hope you like it. Please comment Poster: A2 , Type: Helvetica By: Pedro Monteiro

At the speed of light

My cousin Pedro Sá Correia is a great photographer. Some days ago he was showing me his latest works and I had one of those ‘speed of light’ inspirations from one of his pictures. This is the final result. You can check his work here and, who knows, you might be also as inspired as [...]

Quoth the raven ‘Nevermore’

This is a poster I’ve made to celebrate the 100 years of the birth of the great poet and novelist Edgar Alan Poe. The Raven is one of my favorite poems and it was almost impossible to resist the temptation of using a quote from it. If all goes well there will be more work [...]

In what type of mess are we in right now?

About 5 months ago, Pedro asked me to collaborate for his project. Due to the lack of time (and forgetfulness ), I wasn’t able to complete it until now. The only thing i could say about this piece is that I hope more people realize what the government is doing (more specifically, the Fed) by [...]
