Winter is coming...

Done back in October of this year, based on friend old photo. Obviously she is a great fan of George R.R. Martin's Game of Thrones. Can you wonder her favourite family from the book and tv series?
Seem to me quite appropriate post this when the winter is just around the corner...

Since long time I've been wanting to participate in Illustration Friday. This week I challenge myself, this is the week that you WILL actually participate. For those who don't know "Illustration Friday is a weekly drawing challenge and participatory art exhibit. Every Friday a new topic is posted and you have one week to come up with your own, unique interpretation. Anyone who likes to draw, paint, sculpt, doodle or color can participate in Illustration Friday. You don’t need to be a pro! It’s fun to see everyone’s art – novices and pros alike."
The theme of this week was whiskers.
So, for the first time, here goes my Nonsense about whiskers

Hoje foram os anos da ilustradora Rita Balixa e eu enviei-lhe um ouriço para desejar-lhe os parabéns. Que a festa comece!!! ; )

"... e parece que paraste no tempo, quando ele não pára, nem por um segundo..."

How I (don't) work... and my wisdom bird...

and he says hi!

Wisdom Bird on a Green Panic Attack

Wisdom Bird with a yellow hangover for cookies

Wisdom Bird feeling sad and stupid, because he is out of focus

Wisdom Bird with the Blues

Angry Wisdom Bird being silly

Wisdom Bird dealing with his biggest fear.

«Ás vezes os beijos são só chewing-gum repartido.»

 A frase é uma Greguería, uma entre as centenas que o escritor Ramón Gómez de La Serna escreveu.
O que é uma Greguería? Pode-se resumir a uma fórmula: Humor + metáfora = greguería.
São pequenas frases com uma carga visual brutal! Bem, isso depende da imaginação de cada um, pelo menos para mim acho-as muito potencial.



Como uma simples chewing-gum pode ser tão... promíscua.

E sobre papoilas que desabrocham nos sítios menos esperados.

Left Image:
There was a Young Lady of Portugal
Whose ideas were excessively nautical:
She climbed up a tree,
To examine the sea,
But declared she would never leave
Portugal.

Right Image
There was a Young Lady whose bonnet,
Came untied when the birds sate upon it;
But she said: "I don't care!
All the birds in the air
Are welcome to sit on my bonnet!"
