QUARENTINE - day XII - #PAPERSCULPTURE

Day XII, here we are! Hope all of you are safe and healthy!

Today I'm gonna share some pictures of a new sculpture. It's probably still a work in progress, because I guess I still want it bigger... Now it's around 50x50x50cm... and I used around 20~25 A3 sheets of watercolor paper...

QUARENTINE - day III - the INSTAGRAM thing

3rd day, here we are! =) Alive and grateful to be healthy!

Like I did in the past, I'm again looking back to the things I saved for later on Instagram to see what I can clean, what should stay there... So here we go! ♥

QUARENTINE TIME - day I

So, that's it. Because of COVID-19, basically all the country is in quarentine. 

Our situation in Brazil is yet to be so dramatic and sad like it has been for our italian sisters and brothers. Yet, staying 15~30 days at home is not that easy. At least not under these circumstances.

My parents are 65+, which means I'll be probably the one going around for supermarket and drugstore items, which is ok... but otherwise everything is weird.

I still have work to do as a freelancer designer, but as everything is being postponed or cancelled, eventually there will be no more work to do.

Today I took my dog to the vet, worked, drawed a little bit, read a book and I must say I'm pretty bored.... And I guess it wouldn't feel that bad if I didn't know that going out is not an option.

Until today there were tons of worries about "what's gonna happen now?" towards my schedule...events and fairs... But now that things were officially  postponed, there are no worries about making lots of paper pieces in such small period of time.

Soooo, what are you guys doing with the your "free" quarentine time at home?

A doodle from this very first official day of quarentine. Inspired by a post of the japanese model and singer Mariya Nishiuchi. =)

The reading of the day was this book by Kazuo Ishiguro. I wonder how other countries' publications of this same book look like? Yeah, the book itself is great! But, look at this cover!! ♥ Here in Brazil, all of his books have gorgeous design!

Last but not least: paper jewelry work. And now knowing there is no hurry.

PAPER DAY 10 - ADIADO!

Finalmente o espaço da Universidade do Papel será reaberto ao público, depois de meses de reforma! E isso vai acontecer durante o PAPER DAY 10! Pela primeira vez em dois dias seguidos!! 

Todos convidados! E fica a dica, nos dois dias eu vou levar materiais diferentes! ♥

EDIT: Por causa do COVID 19, o evento foi adiado! Atualizo aqui quando tivermos a nova data!

Graduation Project - II - FIELD REFERENCES

>> The first part of this whole thing I forgot I had started talking about is here! <<

So, I was saying that there were some issues with the project HiGH&LOW, right?

Well, when it comes to LDH goods and releases...basically everything (really everything) goes sold out pretty quickly! When the releases are online it take some few seconds, less than a minute! And it's a frustrating experience, because when you're there, making the checkout of your cart, BOOOM! your items are no avaliable anymore...

I remember when they posted about the goods of the HiGH&LOW series how the internet went crazy! Instagram, Twitter, Weibo! All the fans were dying, because all the items looked so desirable at a first glance!

But then, when the day came, tons of products were still avaliable for days, which meant even thought all the fans wanted to buy everything, maaaaaaaaaaaaybe the appeal was not enough to make the sellings work out.

So today, this part two is about the creative ways the fans found out to engage with their favorite groups/gangs and how their solutions are better than the released official products! (the credit of each picture shown in each printscreen - from instagram - 2016)

JEAN PAUL GAULTIER SS20 - ILLUSTRATION for #DRAWADOT

So, here's the final version of the illustration! The decision to focus on the jewelry of the look came to match the professional moment I'm living right know, with my own pieces and stuff... But it was hard to give up on manga style and on the character design vibes, so, that's it!! It was fun! ♥
