Stencil Robot T-shirt

My first experience with stencil – a t-shirt for a dear friend!
An important thing I learned is not to do this on a windy day… Still, I like how it turned out!

A friend of mine asked me to do an illustration for a t-shirt which was a birthday present for a friend of his.
It’s kind of a caricature, the girl’s nickname is Lua (moon)

“Our mission is to organize the world’s quality creative works and to make them informational and universally accessible in a format that pays homage to the rich heritage, innovation and beauty that the arts imbue.”

Today I found out about Lord Peacock – Engine of the Arts.
It’s a search engine but only for Art related content in different industries – design, cinema, literature, advertising, design, fashion and so on.

It works like a wiki platform, in the way that, once you join you can add and edit content, the difference is that these new articles or changes have to be approved by the administrators. This was the strategy used to make sure that the content displayed doesn’t lack quality or at least to minimize the risk of giving people wrong information.

As my first contribution, I created a new listing about Alberto Vargas, my favorite pin-up artist!

The 1st one is MySoti where I submitted Cavaliers of Fun official t-shirt and some posters all for sale.
The 2nd one is Threadless where my design is up for scoring and if it gets a good score it will be printed and I’ll get a prize for it!

So, if there’s someone’s birthday and you don’t know what to give them, or if you just like shopping for some nice tees, go on and get one designed by yours truly!

Since school is over, gotta find alternative ways to learn something. The difficult part is that sometimes you just have to guess which book is the best, amongst the 23.457.673 thousands on the store, related to whatever it is you want to know more about.
I started with Typography by Ambrose and Harris, it was a lucky guess and I’m almost finished with it. If you are like me, who never really talked about typography (other than distinguish serif from non-serif) then this can be a good start.
In the mean while, Guerilla Art “features profiles of and interviews with the most influencial street artists including Banksy, os Gêmeos, Invader, Branstormers, WK Interact, Zevs and André” so I’m pretty sure it’s a good one!
About the comics, well… I bought Joker, because I’m a huge fan of Batman, and the guy from the comic book store told me to read 100 Bullets because Brian Azzarello is really great and so I trusted him. Also, I finished reading the Joker, so yeah, I’m convinced!
