Hello blogger world! As some of you may remember, last year I was selected as one of the artists whose work was featured in TASCHEN's book ILLUSTRATION NOW! volume 3. This year, to promote the book TASCHEN published "Illustration Now!" diaries and calendars. Once again I had the honor to have my work chosen to be featured in the 2011 calendar.
I always loved TASCHEN, - my bedroom shelfs are filled with their books on illustration, graphic design, photography and advertisement. I always thought that TASCHEN was synonymous of excellence, glamour and good taste, so I'm very happy to have my work associated with them.
Many thanks to julius Wiedemann for being always so thoughtful and for treating artists with such concern and respect.
Saudações blogosfera! Como alguns de vós talvez se lembrem, o meu trabalho foi seleccionado para ser exibido no livro ILLUSTRATION NOW! 3 da editora TASCHEN que chegou às livrarias no final do ano passado.
Este ano, para promover o livro na altura do Natal, a TASCHEN decidiu lançar no mercado alguns materiais promocionais do livro, nomeadamente, agendas, cadernos e calendários. Mais uma vez, tive a honra de ser um dos artistas escolhidos para o calendário de 2011.
Sempre gostei muito desta editora - as estantes do meu quarto estão a abarrotar com livros da TASCHEN sobre ilustração, design gráfico, fotografia e publicidade. Para mim, esta editora sempre foi sinónimo de excelência, qualidade, requinte, glamour e bom gosto, por essa razão é um prazer ver o meu trabalho associado com eles.
Um grande abraço de agradecimento ao Julius Wiedemann pela sua constante atenciosidade e por tratar os artistas com tanta consideração e respeito.

Greetings from Lisbon! (terrible terrible weather here. We are in code red weather warnings. humpf. I wish I didn't have to go to work. perfect day to stay in bed, or working from home n my cozy, warm bedroom :P
Good morning or is it evening? I hope the weather relaxes. Stay safe!
¡Que bien! Salir en ese calendario tiene que ser fabuloso. me alegro por ti. Lo mereces.
Hi Ces! When I got your comment it was the afternoon. Now it's 9.00 pm. Yeah, the weather is kinds scary around here! Thanks a lot and have a great day as well! hug! Tsoup!
Tomás: Muchas gracias amigo! :) un abrazo!
Parabéns!
De facto é fabuloso ver-te a concretizar os sonhos.
Lembro-me das tardes passadas na tua casa; a comer as bolachas (que o teu pai trazia),enquanto desfolhávamos, completamente maravilhados, os teus livros da TASCHEN e comentávamos a competência daqueles artistas...
Agora passaste para dentro do livro, és um deles, e isso enche-me de orgulho e felicidade!
E eu sei que isto não vai ficar por aqui...
Love u.
Amsterdam: Ohhhh obrigaduuuuu! amiga linda! :)
Hahahaha, essas tardes a enfardar areias de cascais como se não houvesse amanhã. Naquela altura, a gente podia comer tudo o que nos aparecesse à frente e não engordava nem uma grama! bons tempos esse :P
Epah temos de combinar uma sessão de cinema cá em casa.... a ver se é desta que te meto a ver o exorcista! hahaha
WOW espectacular!!!
bjo bjo
Olá Apo, muito obrigada pela visita e comentario! bjs!!
The images are so beautifully rich in detail...perfect for calendar. Congratulations!
Thanks you so much! :)
Adoro Francisco! Parabens :) a Taschen é o maximo!!
Como é que vai a Branca de Neve? ando a ler uma banda desenhada dela :P
Alo Miss Pan!
Não me rogues uma praga, mas confesso que ainda não consegui arranjar tempo para começar a trabalhar nem na Branca de Neve nem no Peter Pan... ando a mil! Ainda nem sequer acabei a série dos mitos gregos. Please forgive me!!! O trabalho lá na empresa tem me deixado de rastos, e agora nos fins de semana tenho tido tanta coisa para resolver que não tenho tempo para trabalhar nas minhas coisas. Agora decidi que preciso de um agente. Estou farto de ter de lidar directamente com gente estúpida e sem educação, humpf! Mas aqui em Portugal já vi que as agencias são para esquecer. Se souberes de algumas boas aí no UK, let me know okay? Vou tentar arranjar uma nos USA, e outra que me represente nos UK, França Itália, Alemanha e Holanda. Wish miii luck! ;)
... QUE HERMOSO TRABAJO... sin palabras! :)

TrüSka: Obrigado pelo comentário! :)
Ha ha! bem.. isso de ter umm livro só sobre o meu trabalho parece-me que já é sonhar um pouco alto demais... fica para outras núpcias :P mas valeu pela força ;)
Johanna: You are welcome, great luck to you, wish you all the best!
Robi: Oláá amigo, há muito tempo que não te via por aqui! muito obrigado e um grande abraço!
Obrigada Fancisco! Adorei ficar a conhecer os Coelhos do Caneco! Nunca tinha passado por esse blog - e já postei ; ) E de que vale sonhar se não podermos fazê-lo bem alto : D De qualquer das formas, no teu caso, e com o teu talento, não me parece nada impossível! E, olha, que eu tenho um feeling para estas coisas!!! Muitos beijinhos : ***
São o máximo os coelhos não são???

Abraços do Brasil!
Glen, vindas de um artista do teu nível, essas palavras deixam-me muito lisonjeado! muito obrigado pela força e um abraço do tamanho do mundo! ;)
Sir,
The images you show me are really inspiring!
Being honest, ive never heard of Sintra before but daaaaamn, it loooks cool and it sure will be a perfect place for a witch like me!
One of the images reminded me of The Great Wall of China somehow... and the rest are just enchanting.
Since you're also a photographer, i think you would make a great shot in that stunning place!
When are you gonna move to Sintra?
I hope there will be plenty of ghosts, i'd like to see you shoot some ghosts... heheh xD
ahemm, something funny: i thought you said "Sinatra"... What the heck are you talking about moving to Sinatra's forest...?
The singer got a forest???? HAHAHAHA, I WAS STUPID!!!
and thank youuuuuu VERRRY much for the songs!!!
too bad, i dont understand the language, what are the songs all about?
Wishing you a good luck ok!!!
haveanicedayxxxooo
Hi Mita,
Sinatra? haaaaahahahaha :D
I'm sorry if I got carried away with all those links in your previous post. I really love Sintra and I try to promote it as much as I can. Sometimes I forget that not everybody is as crazy as I am.
About the songs... It's a Portuguese music gender called Fado - the word fado means Fate. Several Fado songs (especially the sad ones) speak of the sea (one of the songs I sent you is called The Song of the Sea) . We Portuguese - specially here in Lisbon, the city where I live - have a strong connection to the sea because Lisbon has always been a maritime harbor. Many songs speak of how the man would go to the see for months and the woman would wait for them, praying everyday that the sea would return their husbands, sons, fathers safe and sound to them. They speak of all the lives that were lost, and speak of the struggle and the day to day life of the poor.
Have a nice day yourself too :)
Kiss
Francisco
WONDERFUL!!!
Congratulations, my friend! You definitely deserve it, and just think - you keep getting better.
This is more great exposure for an artist who is definitely on the rise!

Hey Michael, how are you buddy?
Yeah, I LOVE Taschen an I have been filling my shelfs with their books since I was a kid. I was really happy when I got the email from the Editor in Chief inviting me to take part in the Illustration Now Book project. The book looks amazing and it's an honor to be counted among such amazing illustrators from about 130 countries. When I go the email the first time I was like... "seriously, you want to invite... ME?" lol!
The calendar looks awesome as well, definitely a great piece of design that would look amazing in any desk :D
Big hug to you buddy!
