About

I’ve been a Londoner since 1995.

I love children’s picture books, Disney, Laika and Pixar animation and a lot of my illustrations tend to reflect my love for comics, cartoons and picture books.

If I could, I would spend the whole day (and night) drawing, painting, writing stories, composing music, remixing music, reading, blogging and browsing all these awesome, amazing blogs by all these amazingly creative people on the internet but…

… life tends to get in the way and I don’t get to do any of the above as much as I would like to.

Thanks for visiting my blog 🙂

Gustavo

I can relate to all of your post. Lived in London many years ago loved it. Would love to write and paint all day and adore children’s picture books I collect the ones that inspire me with luscious illustrations thanks for sharing

  Thanks for dropping by Professor! I will read your blog from a distance as I have no desire to enter the England of the Punchy lands. The dark ages doesn’t sound very appealing to me 🙂

    Oh no, you’d be quite fine in the PL’s England. Maybe you’d become one of Arthur’s knights?

“This is a copy paste message”

Hi there my name is Almeida Garcez, and I´m a freelance illustrator and writer.
I love to listen, and interpretate the power of words.
My work is mainly focus on social issues, philosophy, and existentialism.
Right now I´m into a very personal project, that I think it´s the answer for all forms of life – collaboration.
I illustrate people´s phrases, songs and wandering thoughts, I´ve called it Abandoned Illustrations.
The reason that I´m “reaching” you, it´s because you followed me a couple of weeks ago.
I hope it wasn´t a mechanical reaction that bursted out of you.
I hope the first reaction I caused in you, was good, and my work truly made you reflect.
We both know it´s easy to follow someone, since we already do that in our role in society,
and in all sorts of ideologies.
Please unfollow me if you only intended to sell your marketing.
If you didn´t returned to my blog after you followed me, please go to:

There you can take a look at the topography of my reflections, and overall geography of my brain.
If you come to a conclusion that after all you don´t like my interpretations and analogies, please unfollow my blog.

Kindest Regards
