Practicing...

I walked by my box of color pencils sitting on a shelf today and felt they were pulling me like a magnet:) It was a nice exercise... just letting it flow.

No name, four pencils and some tunes.

A Little Bit of Dance...

Dance has always been a huge part of my life ever since I had the awareness of self... I have performed it for years but due to changes in my path I ended up saving it in a drawer, a very special one though. It is a dream of mine to eventually go back to it and never stop again.
My daughter and I have been following this tv show that has mesmerized us with what is going on with the world of dance nowadays...It is breathtaking!!!
This is our favorite couple in the show and every week they make us understand the beauty and deptht that art can bring into our lives when you are truly passionate about it!

Hope you enjoy it too!

Danca sempre foi uma grande parte da minha vida, desde que comecei a ter o entendimento de ser alguem... Eu dancei por anos mas por mundancas no caminho da vida eu acabei guandando este sonho em uma gaveta, mas uma gaveta muito especial. E' um sonho meu voltar a dancar eventualmente e continuar em segui-lo por toda vida e nunca mais parar.
Minha filha e eu estamos acompanhando este show na tv que nos deixa de queixos caidos...Realmente lindo!!!
Este e' o nosso favorito casal do show e a cada semana eles nos fazem entender a beleza e profundidade que a arte pode trazer as nossas vidas quando somos apaixonados por ela!

Espero que voces gostem tbm!

Motion Graphics Animation

My motion Graphics project is finally presented! Although I found many challenges and had to watch hours worth of tutorials I'm pretty content with the results, considering that I am a first timer. I can't wait to get really proficient in After Effects. I absolutely love the program! It is so much fun to see static images come to life!

About Love... É você by Tribalistas

É você 
Só você 
Que na vida vai comigo agora 
Nós dois na floresta e no salão 
Nada mais 
Deita no meu peito e me devora 
Na vida só resta seguir 
Um risco, um passo, um gesto rio afora 

É você 
Só você 
Que invadiu o centro do espelho 
Nós dois na biblioteca e no saguão 
Ninguém mais 
Deita no meu leito e se demora 
Na vida só resta seguir 
um risco, um passo, um gesto rio afora 
Na vida só resta seguir 
Um ritmo, um pacto e o resto rio afora

Love in a Bottle

The creativity of the human mind definitely has no limits...a touching stop motion film, written, directed, animated and edited by talented Kristen Lepore. Super cute story line!

Surrealist film by Salvador Dali… Un Chien Andalou

In a far away land he wrote...

We sit in a circle and suppose,
While the secret sits in the middle
And knows.

Teasing the Senses with Type

A very creative video created for Typophile Film Festival 5. Fantastic imagery, cool effects and transitions plus some fun quotes.

When Searching for Inspiration...

This video deeply inspires me. I really enjoy the technique, the color palette, the variety of mediums they use, the music and of course the final piece which is an Obra Prima! It definitely gets my creativity flowing every time I watch it.

A Quote from Class...

" Beyond the road of habit and routine, of dulled senses and drifting purpose, is the land of meaning, where time stops and we can hear the heartbeat of creation. It is there where we put the soles of our feet to the soul of the world."
Once and Future Myths by Phil Cousineau

Vintage Poster Gift...

I'm so excited with the gift my man gave me! I have only seen those images in slide shows in a couple art history classes and then he walks in our home with one... This piece was created over a 100 years ago and is one of their most popular ones out of the series, and to our luck Chris won it in a liquor seminar he went to. 
It was like it was supposed to be ours! Now we just need to find a special spot on the wall so we can admire it :)
Once again , thank you my love!
