Summary
Brazilian artist, from São Paulo State, with great interest in the world of comics and creature design. I produce illustrations and stories with mythological / legendary themes. Fantastic creatures are my source of inspiration, encompassing many myths involving creatures of the most diverse cultures around the world. Also columnist of Gazeta Bragantina newspaper, talking about Myths and Legends that permeate the popular imagination - especially Brazilian folklore. Post-graduated in Marketing, I also produce content on my blog, called My Creature Now, about Mythological Creatures and Urban Legends from around the world.
