Hard Rock Cafe

Hard Rock Cafe Lisboa
Some caricatures i have drawn at Hard Rock Cafe in Lisbon another Christmas dinner this time for company Lexmark. I was drawing while people was eating and drinking most part of the time, they started placing their caricatures all beside each other among Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers or Madonna and it was a funny result, everybody was laughing out loud. I managed to draw 30 persons in 2 hours wich was an average of less 3 minutes for each caricature, this is one of my fastest gig. Thanks everyone at Lexmark for hiring me.

"IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME AGAIN, CHARLIE BROWN!"

"IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME AGAIN, CHARLIE BROWN!"
Well its that time of year again Christmas parties here and there where everyone gathers their loved ones. Always feel nostalgic remembering the times when i was a kid watching Charlie Brown and Snoopy on television. The message was absolutely great with so few words nothing beats an open mind and a good sense of humor.

Myself have been loaded with Christmas Parties drawing kids and grown ups trying to get that expression that can makes the difference and becomes recognizable with a good likeness. Its my job i´m a caricature artist i have to make good memories and make them last in time, sometimes i can predict the future "He looks older" or revive the past "He looks younger". Whatever happens i can never tell its all in the pencil and the hand that guides it. All i know is that i want to give smiles and happiness to the world i can contribute to that in my own expense and i tell you these days this is a tough job, but you know, someone has to do it!

Wish everyone that follows my sketching scribblings and the rest of the World a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Presépio da Luz


Bom o Natal está ai à porta e chega a altura de montar as árvores de Natal e os presépios, este foi o "Presépio da Luz" que eu montei e que vem na revista futebolista de Dezembro. Da esquerda para direita: 'pastor' Pablo Aimar, 'São José' Rui Costa, 'Virgem Maria' Quique Flores, 'Menino Jesus' Di maria, 'Baltazar' Reyes, 'Gaspar' Nuno Gomes, 'Belchior' David Suazo, 'ovelha' Águia Vitoria.
Depois de o Benfica ter conquistado finalmente o 1º lugar após ontem derrota do Leixões em Guimarães (e infelizmente para o meu Sporting), já não o fazia desde a ultima vez que foi campeão há 3 anos, cheira a titulo na luz ou ainda haverá por ai algumas prendas de Natal?

Cristian "Cebola" Rodriguez

caretas do porto
Com tanta falta de tempo esqueçi de postar esta caricatura do jogador do Porto Cristian Rodriguez também vulgarmente conhecido por "Cebola". Até vem a calhar porque ele este fim-de-semana até marcou o primeiro golo pelo Porto contra Académica. Que careta! Quem continua a andar de carrinho é o Leixões do Zé Mota que beneficiou dos frangos do Quim. A Liga Sagres ao rubro.
