How long have you been an artist? What is your specialty? Where do u find inspiration?
I am ahead of Miopia since 2015, which is a independent studio focused in music merchandising, poster designs and packaging.
I usually work with brushes and pen, doing almost everything by hand.
I find inspiration in my routine, music and a lot of artists I am blessed to be friends with.
Do you have a job in the art industry? If So, what’s one thing you don’t like about it? If no, where would your dream job be?
I own a studio working mostly with small brands and independent musicians. To me this is the perfect fit for my work and my personality. Being raised next to the punk rock culture, I am honored to collaborate with artists that takes DIY philosophy so good.

Yes, my mains inspirations are: Bicicleta Sem Freio, Carol Maia, Marcelo Augusto, Pedro Oyarbide, Renka Crew, Jon Contino, Gut 42 and a LOT of people from my personal circle.
What is one accomplishment you’ve had in your life? Does not need to be art related.
Manage to tour with my band and meet a lot of places and people.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years? 10 years? 20 years?
Doing presentations with my work, releasing art books with my studio and probably doing drawing classes to people who can’t afford it.

Freddie Mercury.
How is one way you make money with your art?
Basically freelancing.

Sweden, I already leaved there and loved it.
What is your favorite brand of art supply? Whether it’s a brand of pencils or brand of camera or software
Winsor and Newton, they have the BEST brushes in the world.
Any advice for young artists?
Create every time, being silly and innocent is real good. Never stop being a kid and humility is the best quality you may have. To me is works a lot. Ah, and the last one: NEVER say you don’t know a thing, you are always learning and you can always learn something new. DIY every time.
