November Tree | gocco screenprint

Pumpkin Girls | gocco screenprint

Mushroom girl | gocco screeprint

Inspired by the first Autumn raindrops and the first mushrooms that appear in the woods, I've been very busy with my gocco.

November Tree still has twigs but she's getting bald everyday with the soft winds.
It's a limited edition of 50.

Pumpkin Girls it's a portrait of girls playing Bolinhos e Bolinhós.
Like Halloween, in Portugal we celebrate the traditional 'bolinhos e bolinhós', on October 31.
The children, wearing costumes and usually with a hollow pumpkin or an illuminated box with a candle, go from door to door in the neighbourhood singing a particular song so they can be rewarded with apples, candy or dry fruits.
It's a limited edition of 100.

Mushroom Girl is a happy girl who lives in the woodland.
A limited edition of 50.

they are all available at my etsy and at Quasiloja shop in Oporto.

Don't want no Small Feet Men | gocco on navy blue Moleskine

I couldn't resist to a fusion between Don't Want no Small Feet Men and my latest graphic work! :)
Small Feet Man is shy and he likes to walk with his dog in the woods, behind the bushes.
It's a very small limited edition of 10.

And new Moleskine journals are available at my etsy shop on navy blue color.

new place, new walls, new smells, new colors... again ... and the first sketch and pic from here.

After playing a lot with my latest gocco print, Twig in the Wind, I decided to do a series of 3 different colour combinations in limited edition. I tried to explore the fusion between calligraphy (also street art) & the representation of a 'piece' of nature and its elements, in a balanced movement composition.
