Book Launch

I illustrated a new book. 

Saturday, 15 is the launch. 

Everyone is invited.

First book

Andy and Mr. Verb

I worked as a designer until 1992, (1985/92). Since that date I decided to be only an art teacher and dedicate all my energies to the teaching, and I loved it.

Mr. 86

But teach art and don't do something related to art gets to be very frustrating, so I began to illustrate little things for the school library and for some publications.

In 2006 a fellow teacher, Natália Augusto, challenged me to illustrate a story written by her. I Accepted and in 2007 The book “ André no Reino das Palavras Falantes” ( Andy in the Kingdom of Words),  was published. 

The book

My New Blog

First, a Designer, then a Teacher...

... always, with dreams and a pencil in the hand.

I have a blog since 2008, (Penas de Galinha - Chicken Feathers), but I never show my work or the things that I really do. Now, I'm creating this new blog to show and share some of me.

I´m  Portuguese and in my other blog I write in Portuguese, but in "Two Chicken Feathers" I decided to do it in English.

I do not write very well in English... I apologize, but I'm learning and I hope to improve with training.
