the objective

This album was a reinterpretation of the music from the middle ages, in Portugal. I had total freedom, the client had no request. I chose to use an artwork pen, with sepia do to all the drawing and lettering, with the gold and violet, associated to the illuminated manuscript, as well as the “s” with that particular shape. The pattern was also a inspiration from the fabrics used back then. Then I photographed the all thing, making sure I let those nuances from the sepia stand out.

the objective

Tee shirts and cotton tote bags. Greyhound James wanted to use the word ”RUN” on front, allusive to the breed.

I made several stencils and then painted with fabric paint. The logo was printed with a linoleum previously carved.

The items were then placed on 3 chairs and finally photographed.

ALAFUM

my role

the objective

ALAFUM is a traditional portuguese music group with over 40 years old. The main theme on this album, their tenth one, was based on the richness and variety of the land where this music was born.

I wanted to explore that geographical detail, being the name of the album also a nod to this diversity.

Thus my playing with the scale and texture of some stones, that I managed to scout from said locations, paying homage to that geographical heterogeneous mixture.
