HISTORY
Growing up as a kid, the only things I cared about was watching cartoons, movies, skating and hanging out with my friends. My parents drove us all over Brazil in their car, so to keep the noise down in the car and stop me from bugging my little sister they stuck a pad and some coloring pens in my hands and voila!

All that time I spent watching cartoons and horror movies on the TV was finally going to pay off as something I could share with someone, my notepad… Today I am still drawing; it’s both my love and my labor… In the wider scope of things, nothing has changed much... I am incapable of presenting my work to you today, so go visit my website www.thisiscrap.org as it would be a much more interesting and colorful presentation.
