Collaboration: Man On Wire (Bruno Albuquerque + Hugo Pereira)


Movie trailer:



Two different ways of expression, two different people, one motif.
As said before this collaboration is a little different from the previous one. This time I challenged Bruno Albuquerque to make an illustration based on the documentary film Man On Wire, but Bruno is not the kind of guy who does what he is told to so he decided he would rather do a poster instead of just an illustration and the result, as always, is incredibly good.
Man On Wire is a passionate journey through Philippe Petit’s, a French high-wire artist, plan to high-wire walk between the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center. The idea of doing this is, by itself, mind-blowing but Philippe Petit’s passionate speech makes it even more special.

Illustration: Bliss, José Machado



Just do me a little favor, look at the illustration below and try not to smile. Can you do it? Me neither!
This moving illustration was done by José Machado and it is properly named Bliss.





José Machado is a graphic designer graduated from IPCA who is currently attending a Illustration & Animation Master’s Degree at the same institution. He has illustrated a children’s book named Chico Fantástico which is part of the four volume collection Reciclomania and is already working on another one. To check more works of him just follow the links to his Facebook and Béhance pages. Feel free to become a fan of his works.


Who knows if he will join us for a collaboration in the near future.

Collaboration: To Jeff (Poem+Illustration)



This one should’ve been posted yesterday because it was somehow inspired by Jeff Buckley.  It features a poem of my own and a specifically done illustration by Pedro Rodrigues named Drown.
I believe it’s worth the delay but feel free to leave any feedback. Enjoy!



To Jeff

Your ashes by the sea bathing your lover’s naked feet.
I saw her – standing in grief – rattling hands and disbelief,
The waving waters dictating the mournful rhythm
As the sober grey skies hid the last living light.
Her knees are now sunk in the sand
And her once immaculate nightgown
Immerses in an ocean of despair.

You, white boy, departed this life too soon
You, white boy, abandoned your lover too soon.
A beautiful stranger in this world
A tormented soul roaming forever blind
Singing grace of long gone lullabies.
Let her lay her head on your hip
Such love must be buried deep.

by Hugo Pereira

Collaborations: Bruno Albuquerque



A few days ago I announced through the blog’s facebook page that soon I would start a series of collaborations with a couple of dear friends of mine. They accepted the challenge and as far as I know they’re already working on it.
And now it is time to introduce you to one of them: Bruno Albuquerque.
Bruno Albuquerque was born in 1989 in Barcelos, Portugal, and is now attending a Master in Design at Faculdade de Belas Artes da Universidade do Porto in Porto. Lately he has been working a lot with rock bands like Black Bombaim, Killimanjaro and Maize.  He also designs posters for music fests like CellosRock or Lovers & Lollypops’ events.
However, his most popular work has to be the one he created along with Ilídio Marques and his fellas from the blog Rock Rola em Barcelos. This is a free distribution publication dedicated to the best alternative Portuguese bands. While his design is brilliantly clean, his illustrations have a gruesome vibe and Rock Rola em Barcelos is where the two ends meet.
