Nem a propósito, faço aqui destaque a leituras recentes: falo dos 2 volumes de &lt;strong&gt;Drawn to Life&lt;/strong&gt;, do animador Walt Stanchfield (boa descoberta por uma amiga), e de &lt;strong&gt;The Ultimate Comics Studio&lt;/strong&gt;, do Bryan Hitch. Não vou dissecar cada livro, mas friso que ambos são boas aquisições, interessantes leituras e particularmente válidas para quem trabalha ou pretende trabalhar no sector.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;Embora os “opus” de &lt;strong&gt;Stanchfield&lt;/strong&gt; sejam clássicos-instantâneos e se destaquem claramente, não fosse ele um iluminado da narrativa sequencial e dos principais mentores da Disney, para além dos ensinamentos ali feitos, concordantes com as seminais lições de desenho de Nikolaides, há também partilhas inestimáveis de saberes, transversais à prática do desenho e posturas salutares de vida – como o título indica – para mais dinâmicas e criativas produções pessoais. Como bónus, os livros surgem polvilhados de pequenos episódios biográficos que os tornam tão-mais inspiradores.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8p8ZzGpRw2I/TjDEP1crb4I/AAAAAAAAApk/CAuvS_ZE-4Y/s1600/2807danmaia2011drawn_ultimate.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="296" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8p8ZzGpRw2I/TjDEP1crb4I/AAAAAAAAApk/CAuvS_ZE-4Y/s640/2807danmaia2011drawn_ultimate.jpg" t$="true" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;Já o livro de &lt;strong&gt;Hitch&lt;/strong&gt; assume-se como um híbrido de artbook e manual para criação de BD, ao estilo mainstream americano. Apesar de algumas insuficiências e gralhas do ponto de vista editorial, a experiência e capacidades do autor fazem deste o melhor livro “How-to” que já vi sobre o assunto; especialmente porque Hitch foi generoso ao ponto de partilhar truques e cuidados usualmente omitidos/desconhecidos doutros tutoriais, discursando sobre fases bastante detalhadas da produção com diversos exemplos pertinentes, razão pela qual este talvez seja de facto um &lt;em&gt;ultimate&lt;/em&gt; manual para desenhistas.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;Se alguém já os tiver lido, estejam à vontade para partilhar o que acharam.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;object class="BLOGGER-youtube-video" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" data-thumbnail-src="http://0.gvt0.com/vi/vkLZfu_Y92g/0.jpg" height="266" width="320"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/vkLZfu_Y92g&amp;fs=1&amp;source=uds" /&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /&gt;&lt;embed width="320" height="266"  src="http://www.youtube.com/v/vkLZfu_Y92g&amp;fs=1&amp;source=uds" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;object class="BLOGGER-youtube-video" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" data-thumbnail-src="http://0.gvt0.com/vi/8F2tnkPG2Ow/0.jpg" height="266" width="320"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8F2tnkPG2Ow&amp;fs=1&amp;source=uds" /&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /&gt;&lt;embed width="320" height="266"  src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8F2tnkPG2Ow&amp;fs=1&amp;source=uds" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"&gt;More and more, I find myself investing in artbooks and technical books rather than actual comics or graphic novels. With that in mind, today I’m gonna spotlight two recent buys: namely, the two &lt;strong&gt;Drawn to Life&lt;/strong&gt; volumes from master animator Walt Stanchfield (a good find by a friend), and &lt;strong&gt;The Ultimate Comics Studio&lt;/strong&gt;, by Bryan Hitch. I’m not gonna dissect each book, but will state that both would be clever buys, interesting readings and particularly valid for anyone who works or aims to work in the field.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Although &lt;strong&gt;Stanchfield&lt;/strong&gt;’s “opus” are instant-classics and out-stage similar existing books, give he’s a sequential narrative alumnus and was a chief mentor at Disney, aside from the teachings therein, concordant with Nikolaides seminal drawing lessons, there’s also priceless sharing of knowledge, transversal to the practice of drawing and healthy attitudes towards life – as the title hints – for achieving more dynamic and creative productions. As a bonus, the books are filled with brief biographical episodes that make them all the more inspiring.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"&gt;As for &lt;strong&gt;Hitch&lt;/strong&gt;’s book, it ascertains itself as a hybrid between artbook &amp;amp; mainstream American comics’ production manual. Besides a few insufficiencies and typos from an editorial standpoint, the author’s experience and abilities make this the best “How-to” book I’ve seen on the subject; especially because Hitch was generous enough to share various tricks and considerations usually omitted/unknown to other such tutorials, approaching fairly detailed production stages with several relevant examples, which stands to reason why this may very well be the &lt;em&gt;ultimate&lt;/em&gt; manual for comic artists.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"&gt;If someone already read them, feel free to share what you thought.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8079998730197778226-2052056370322162981?l=danielmaia-art.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://danielmaia-art.blogspot.com/feeds/2052056370322162981/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://danielmaia-art.blogspot.com/2011/07/life-comics.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8079998730197778226/posts/default/2052056370322162981'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8079998730197778226/posts/default/2052056370322162981'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://danielmaia-art.blogspot.com/2011/07/life-comics.html' title='Life &amp; Comics'/><author><name>Daniel Maia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13944887846340981137</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8p8ZzGpRw2I/TjDEP1crb4I/AAAAAAAAApk/CAuvS_ZE-4Y/s72-c/2807danmaia2011drawn_ultimate.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079998730197778226.post-6262898168232307358</id><published>2011-07-23T14:55:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2011-07-23T15:00:49.596+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Semi-Novo &amp; Semi-Deus</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;Estas são duas artes-finais que fiz há 1 ano atrás, a partir do diário gráfico da artista &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://susana-sketches.blogspot.com/"&gt;Susana Resende&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.

Já é sabido que este evento da planície é das melhores referências em festivais de BD ibérica, pela sobriedade e excelência de execução, e eclectismo entre o comercial e independente com que pauta as expos e convida autores. Entre 28 Maio e 12 Junho, os locais costumeiros – a Casa da Cultura de Beja (sede da Bedeteca de Beja), Biblioteca Municipal José Saramago, Museu Jorge Vieira, Galeria do Desassossego, Museu Regional e Teatro Municipal Pax Julia – acolhem as mostras e programação frisadas no &lt;a href="http://www.festivalbdbeja.net/"&gt;site oficial&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;Embora tenha visitado o festival num fim-de-semana desastroso, com uma chuvada brutal que até teve direito a granizo, o clima de descontracção e oportunidade para tertuliar com amigos não enegreceu minimamente a experiência – antes pelo contrário. Para a memória fica o team-work urgente em que eu, o Tiago (Mongorhead Comics), o Silvestre (aka Véte BD) e o Paulo (Director do FIBDB) nos armámos de vassouras para aliviar uma pesada bolsa de água que se acumulava num recanto do toldo da zona comercial;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;Resta salientar o bom: o já mencionado fantástico trabalho e cuidados nas expo; e mau: o facto de este ano não ter havido propostas de trabalho para edição na Colecção Toupeira…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-M1AqSpkhezE/Te6-JxYsMXI/AAAAAAAAAo0/z2aDH3DYfR0/s1600/danmaia2011_7FIBDB2011_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="332" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-M1AqSpkhezE/Te6-JxYsMXI/AAAAAAAAAo0/z2aDH3DYfR0/s400/danmaia2011_7FIBDB2011_1.jpg" t8="true" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4n2tPumjlPY/Te6-NtmVnQI/AAAAAAAAAo4/9-ZIo3U6Fnk/s1600/danmaia2011_7FIBDB2011_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4n2tPumjlPY/Te6-NtmVnQI/AAAAAAAAAo4/9-ZIo3U6Fnk/s640/danmaia2011_7FIBDB2011_2.jpg" t8="true" width="492" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vP2tS5kBRR0/Te6-R3LMULI/AAAAAAAAAo8/PBFqbDqdFSA/s1600/danmaia2011_7FIBDB2011_3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vP2tS5kBRR0/Te6-R3LMULI/AAAAAAAAAo8/PBFqbDqdFSA/s640/danmaia2011_7FIBDB2011_3.jpg" t8="true" width="424" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-s2Rmy87sgX0/Te6_X_Kz44I/AAAAAAAAApI/_LTEB_FBXV8/s1600/danmaia2011_7FIBDB2011_4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-s2Rmy87sgX0/Te6_X_Kz44I/AAAAAAAAApI/_LTEB_FBXV8/s640/danmaia2011_7FIBDB2011_4.jpg" t8="true" width="528" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CPkg4FAYKwA/Te6_b8UOWjI/AAAAAAAAApM/KP45fhNz8Zs/s1600/danmaia2011_7FIBDB2011_5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CPkg4FAYKwA/Te6_b8UOWjI/AAAAAAAAApM/KP45fhNz8Zs/s640/danmaia2011_7FIBDB2011_5.jpg" t8="true" width="528" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;Aproveito para divulgar que as edições Arga Warga estão disponíveis no mercado do festival.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"&gt;In spite of the economic crisis, &lt;strong&gt;Beja’s VII International Comics Festival&lt;/strong&gt; has opened its doors. It’s well known that this event of the plains is amongst the best reference in iberic comics’ festivals, for its sobriety &amp;amp; excellence in execution, and for the mainstream and independent eccletism with which it mounts the exhibits and invites authors. From 28 May to 12 June, the galleries and spots will hold the show’s various displays and program, which are shown in the &lt;a href="http://www.festivalbdbeja.net/"&gt;official website&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Although I choose a disastrous weekend to visit it, due to a brutal thunder storm that also rained hail, the atmosphere of relax and chance to gather with friends didn’t dim the experience in the slightest – quite the opposite. Faded to memory is the urgent team-work in which I, along with Tiago (of Mongorhead Comics), Silvestre (aka Véte BD) and Paulo (director of the festival) armed ourselves with brooms in order to relieve a heavy pocket of water that was forming in a corner of the tent of the commercial area;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"&gt;The good: the already mentioned amazing work and carefulness in the exhibits, plus distribution of spaces; the bad: the fact that this year no one present work to publish in the comic of Toupeira Collection…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8079998730197778226-6510130934599847546?l=danielmaia-art.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://danielmaia-art.blogspot.com/feeds/6510130934599847546/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://danielmaia-art.blogspot.com/2011/06/vii-festival-internacional-de-bd-de.html#comment-form' title='2 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8079998730197778226/posts/default/6510130934599847546'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8079998730197778226/posts/default/6510130934599847546'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://danielmaia-art.blogspot.com/2011/06/vii-festival-internacional-de-bd-de.html' title='VII Festival Internacional de BD de Beja'/><author><name>Daniel Maia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13944887846340981137</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-C7UzREksYeY/Te69-Zd1ZTI/AAAAAAAAAow/-nU0L0Bjw30/s72-c/danmaia2011_7fibdb.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079998730197778226.post-3040184445049986755</id><published>2011-06-02T23:42:00.007+01:00</published><updated>2011-06-08T01:03:01.605+01:00</updated><title type='text'>All-Girlz vence nos VIII Troféus Central Comics!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Tem sido até aqui um feliz hábito os comics &lt;em&gt;All-Girlz&lt;/em&gt; terem reconhecimento por parte dos prémios de BD nacionais – significa que fizemos algo bem! Após nomeações para Melhor Fanzine conferidas ao &lt;em&gt;All-Girlzine&lt;/em&gt;, em 2006, nos Prémios Nacionais de BD (PNBD), e no ano seguinte, nos V Troféus Central Comics (TCC), estas repetem-se mais tarde nos PNBDs do 20º e 21º Amadora BD, destacando então as novas antológicas da iniciativa, &lt;em&gt;Galore &lt;/em&gt;e &lt;em&gt;Banzai!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Na sequência dessas, os comics &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;All-Girlz Galore&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; e &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;All-Girlz Banzai!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, sob o título genérico da colecção, foram ainda distinguidos como candidatos no VIII Troféus Central Comics/2010. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Como editor deste projecto independente, é com prazer que divulgo o público ter atribuído ao &lt;em&gt;All-Girlz&lt;/em&gt; os dois prémios em que estava nomeado, nomeadamente&lt;strong&gt; Melhor Fanzine&lt;/strong&gt; e &lt;strong&gt;Melhor Obra Curta&lt;/strong&gt;, sendo este último relativo à BD “Dream Machine 2.1”, de Joana Lafuente (in &lt;em&gt;Banzai!&lt;/em&gt;). Saliento ainda a nomeação também nesta categoria de “Annushka, a Boneca”, de Andreia Rechena (in &lt;em&gt;Galore&lt;/em&gt;).

After nominations for Best Fanzine bestowed on &lt;em&gt;All-Girlzine&lt;/em&gt;, in 2006, at the National Comics Awards (PNBD), and in the following year, at the V Central Comics Awards (TCC), these were repeated next at the 20th and 21st Amadora BD Comic-Con’s PNBD, spotlighting the new anthology titles from the initiative, ‘&lt;em&gt;Galore&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Banzai!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Following those, the &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;All-Girlz Galore&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;All-Girlz Banzai!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; comics have, under generic banner, have also been distinguished as candidates at the VIII Central Comics Awards/2010. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;As the projects' publisher, it’s my pleasure to announce that the public has awarded us both throphies for which &lt;em&gt;All-Girlz &lt;/em&gt;was nominated, namely &lt;strong&gt;Best Fanzine&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Best Short Work&lt;/strong&gt;, this last one related to Joana Lafuente’s short comic, titled “Dream Machine 2.1” (in &lt;em&gt;Banzai!&lt;/em&gt;). Also worthy of note is the nomination in the same category of “Annushka, a Boneca”, by Andreia Rechena (in &lt;em&gt;Galore&lt;/em&gt;). ‘My huge thanks and congratulations to every artist and collaborators involved!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;The award ceremony took place April 3rd, in the successful Anigamix 2011 event, at Exponor exhibit pavilion, in Oporto. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;The TCC are the only Portuguese (and European?) awards were the winners are determined by the votes and preferences of the actual readers, being privately promoted by CentralComics.com portal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8079998730197778226-3040184445049986755?l=danielmaia-art.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://danielmaia-art.blogspot.com/feeds/3040184445049986755/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://danielmaia-art.blogspot.com/2011/06/all-girlz-vence-nos-viii-trofeus.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8079998730197778226/posts/default/3040184445049986755'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8079998730197778226/posts/default/3040184445049986755'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://danielmaia-art.blogspot.com/2011/06/all-girlz-vence-nos-viii-trofeus.html' title='All-Girlz vence nos VIII Troféus Central Comics!'/><author><name>Daniel Maia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13944887846340981137</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bskWXn43UoA/Te67BWRsA6I/AAAAAAAAAos/Avb8tuIzl1I/s72-c/danmaia2011_8TCCallgirlz1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079998730197778226.post-7459226690486564616</id><published>2010-10-30T00:13:00.006+01:00</published><updated>2010-10-31T00:41:36.492+01:00</updated><title type='text'>All-Girlz nomeadas para Prémios de BD</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/TMysshd7zvI/AAAAAAAAAoY/KUbZBcP0yjY/s1600/AGB_21AmadoraBD.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="362" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/TMysshd7zvI/AAAAAAAAAoY/KUbZBcP0yjY/s400/AGB_21AmadoraBD.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Os &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Prémios Nacionais de Banda Desenhada&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt; (PNBD), nome actualmente dado aos “Troféus Zé Pacóvio e Grilinho”, são os mais afamados da BD portuguesa, atribuídos pelos profissionais do sector e associados do CNBDI (Central Nacional de BD e Imagem), da C.

convidou-me a colaborar no 2º livro de prosa sobre o seu super-herói, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;Infante Portugal&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;.

I’ve seen it surely over 300 times by now (usually 6-8 times per year…) and it’s the one I’d most quickly name my “guilty pleasure film”, even more so than the others – Mad Max (1978) and The Road Warrior (1980). In fact, aside all the fond memories I have from childhood, renting it at the local video club over and over, sometimes consecutively!, it’s been the subject of a thesis I wrote for a college paper. I just find the mythology and symbolism, plus subtext so compelling… In fact, if I’m such a post-apoc and last-man-on-earth genre buff, it’s very likely due to the indelible impression that George Miller’s movies had on me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #0d0d0d;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;I always enjoy thinking that, in some parallel dimension, the Gulf War never happened or was delayed enough for the 4th movie to reunite Gibson with his – for my money – most acclaimed creation.

Para quem não conhece: desde 2007 que coordeno um evento contínuo de BD, cujo intuito é reunir tantos artistas portugueses quanto possível na produção de uma história conjunta, feita em método &lt;i&gt;cadavre exquis&lt;/i&gt;*. Tivemos 50 autores até agora e acabámos de atingir a &lt;a href="http://cc-cadavreexquis.blogspot.com/2010/09/45-prancha.html"&gt;45ª página&lt;/a&gt;, no que tem sido um muito excitante processo e recompensador projecto, especialmente dada a quantidade de colaboradores novatos, alguns dos quais fizeram ali a sua primeira prancha!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0d0d0d;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;O método em si pode tornar-se complexo, dados os cliffhangers, constante improvisação e reinterpretação da orientação do guião, embora seja nisso que reside o desafio. Para suavizar as coisas, pus online uma sinopse da BD (&lt;a href="http://cc-cadavreexquis.blogspot.com/2010/09/o-cadavre-exquis-explicado-ao-povo-e-as.html"&gt;ver aqui&lt;/a&gt;). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0d0d0d;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Portanto, se gostam do conceito e querem participar, inscrevam-se. Qualquer um é bem-vindo, sejam escritores, artistas ou assistentes (ie. arte-finalista, guionista ou colorista de tons cinza).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -.1pt; tab-stops: 222.75pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0d0d0d;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Após um hiato de 6 meses, esta ilustração foi carregada para reabrir as hostilidades.

For those not familiar with it: I’m coordinating a continuing comics event since 2007, aimed at uniting as many portuguese comics artists as possible in the production of a collective story, done by ways of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;cadavre exquis&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt; method*. I’ve had 50 authors so far and just hit the &lt;a href="http://cc-cadavreexquis.blogspot.com/2010/09/45-prancha.html"&gt;45th page&lt;/a&gt;, in what’s been a very exciting process and rewarding project, especially due to the amount of newcomer collaborators, some of which have had their first experience doing a comic page there!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #0d0d0d;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;The method itself can get a confusing after a while, given all the cliffhangers, constant improvisation and reinterpretation of plot orientations, but therein lies the challenge. To smooth things, I’ve posted a sinopsys of the story thus far (&lt;a href="http://cc-cadavreexquis.blogspot.com/2010/09/o-cadavre-exquis-explicado-ao-povo-e-as.html"&gt;check&lt;/a&gt;). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: #0d0d0d;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;So, if you like the concept and would enjoy partaking in it, write in and say so.

Desculpem a longa ausência. Adventos vários (que um dia transporei para BD, pois só como “ficção” seriam acreditados) mudaram-me os planos de vida e afastaram-me de bloggar novos trabalhos, à medida que o juntar com a namorada e mudar para casa nova me foi – felizmente – roubando tempo. Aguardem mais posts em breve;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Entretanto, em Março último, os comics do meu selo editorial Arga Warga, &lt;em&gt;All-Girlz Galore&lt;/em&gt; e &lt;em&gt;All-Girlz Banzai!&lt;/em&gt;, foram escolhidos para a categoria Melhor Fanzine do &lt;strong&gt;VIII Troféus Central Comics&lt;/strong&gt;. Também seleccionadas foram as BDs “Annushka, a boneca”, de Andreia Rechena (in &lt;em&gt;Galore&lt;/em&gt;), e “Dream Machine 2.1”, de Joana Lafuente (in &lt;em&gt;Banzai&lt;/em&gt;), como nomeadas para Melhor Obra Curta; parabéns a ambas as autoras, e também às demais colaboradoras, pela contribuição para o apreço destas edições.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Devo sublinhar que embora tenha integrado o júri responsável pelas selecções dos candidatos, não pude participar na decisão destas duas categorias, conforme indica o regulamento do evento; por isso, fico contente pelas ditas nomeações)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;O desenho do poster deste ano pertence ao meu amigo Daniel Henriques.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/TH_mV66q7rI/AAAAAAAAAk8/41_n3OBOYVk/s1600/8TCCposterpromo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" ox="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/TH_mV66q7rI/AAAAAAAAAk8/41_n3OBOYVk/s400/8TCCposterpromo.jpg" width="296" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;Hello again! Apologies for the long absence. Life-changing events (that may find their way into a comic one day, given only as “fiction” would they be believed) scrambled my plans and kept me from blogging new works, as moving together with my girlfriend and subsequent mundane dealings have – happily – stolen most of my time. Beware of more posts soon;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;In the meantime, last March my publishing seal’s Arga Warga comics’, &lt;em&gt;All-Girlz Galore&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;All-Girlz Banzai!&lt;/em&gt;, were selected for the Best Fanzine category of the &lt;strong&gt;VIII Central Comics Awards&lt;/strong&gt;. Also selected were the short-stories “Annushka, a boneca”, by Andreia Rechena (in &lt;em&gt;Galore&lt;/em&gt;), and “Dream Machine 2.1”, by Joana Lafuente (in &lt;em&gt;Banzai&lt;/em&gt;), as nominnes for Best Short Comics; congratulations to both, and to all my other collaborators, for contributing to make those such seemingly well appreciated editions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;(I must underline that although I was an invited jury, responsible for the selection of the candidates, I wasn’t allowed to partake in the decision regarding these two categories, as per the regulation of the event; hence, I’m happy for said nominations).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;This year’s poster image was created by my friend Daniel Henriques.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8079998730197778226-4787962784746452630?l=danielmaia-art.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://danielmaia-art.blogspot.com/feeds/4787962784746452630/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://danielmaia-art.blogspot.com/2010/09/regresso-aos-trofeus.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8079998730197778226/posts/default/4787962784746452630'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8079998730197778226/posts/default/4787962784746452630'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://danielmaia-art.blogspot.com/2010/09/regresso-aos-trofeus.html' title='Regresso aos Troféus'/><author><name>Daniel Maia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13944887846340981137</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/TH_mV66q7rI/AAAAAAAAAk8/41_n3OBOYVk/s72-c/8TCCposterpromo.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079998730197778226.post-7341474021230768453</id><published>2010-02-17T21:27:00.022Z</published><updated>2010-09-03T02:17:12.676+01:00</updated><title type='text'>...Do I need to draw a picture?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;Tenho um ritual quando chega o novo ano: é, masoquistamente, programar todo o seguinte no que toca a BDs. Fora desvios e permuta de projectos, impossíveis de considerar de antemão, fica alinhado o que farei e quando; o que tira a espontaneidade à coisa, mas tem de ser assim, para optimizar timings.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;Sem revelar tudo, devo participar num punhado de zines, uns editados por mim, havendo a hipótese dessas BD passarem por títulos estrangeiros. Em compromissos mais profissionais, está no horizonte um livro infantil, uma colectânea e álbum de âmbito comercial, para tentativo lançamento europeu. Fun stuff.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/S3xf92_lNTI/AAAAAAAAAks/E9FTU8snfF4/s1600-h/DMaia_2010A.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" ct="true" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/S3xf92_lNTI/AAAAAAAAAks/E9FTU8snfF4/s320/DMaia_2010A.jpg" width="302" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;Em projectos-hobbie, prossegue a iniciativa &lt;a href="http://all-girlz.blogspot.com/"&gt;All-Girlz&lt;/a&gt;, para já concluindo em &lt;i&gt;All-Girlz Sayonara&lt;/i&gt; as estórias que começaram em &lt;i&gt;Banzai!&lt;/i&gt;, e continua o evento &lt;a href="http://cc-cadavreexquis.blogspot.com/"&gt;CC:Cadavre Exquis&lt;/a&gt;, a aproximar-se da 50ª prancha…!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;Fora a habitual intervenção no júri do VIII Troféus Central Comics, a integrar no VI FIBDB, devo participar noutro evento; como diz um amigo, um “nano-mini-micro-pequeno evento”, que é a única espécie passível de ser elaborada hoje em dia dada a escassez de apoios. Veremos&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;Quanto ao mercado EUA, é cedo para dizer, mas há projectos a rolar… Para já, continuo a colaborar com algumas produtoras, na preparação de arte e design conceptual para filmes. Não frisar “nomes" porque&amp;nbsp;perante as sempre possíveis mudanças de planos ou descontinuamentos, correria o risco de falar em falso. E de resto, lá porque a agenda de 2010 já me guarda poucos segredos, não significa que tenha de vos estragar a surpresa;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/S3xfsrA5CAI/AAAAAAAAAkk/G4QgNmJcDlA/s1600-h/DMaia_2010B.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" ct="true" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/S3xfsrA5CAI/AAAAAAAAAkk/G4QgNmJcDlA/s400/DMaia_2010B.jpg" width="346" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;I’ve this ritual when starting out a new year, which is to, masochisticaly, program my comics agenda for the whole year ahead. A few detours side, impossible to consider as of yet, I line up what gigs I’ll do and when; which ‘kinda takes some the spontenaity out of it, but is needed in order to optimize timings.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;Without goint into everything, I should participate in a few portuguese comics, some of which I’ll publish myself, with the chance that those works will end up on foreign markets. On professional commitments, there’s a children’s book on the horizon, plus a compilation and an OGN of mainstream appeal, for european release. Fun stuff.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;As for hobbie-projects, my All-Girlz initiative continues with &lt;i&gt;All-Girlz Sayonara&lt;/i&gt;, and my collective comic event CC:Cadavre Exquis also prossedes, now closing on its 50th page…! After again participating as jury in the VIII Central Comics Awards, I might try to intervene in another comics’ salon over here.

Sorry if I don’t say more, but given the possibility of changes in plans or cancelation of projects, I might misspeack. And also, just because my 2010 agenda holds little secrets for me, it’s no reason to spoil the surprises…;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8079998730197778226-7341474021230768453?l=danielmaia-art.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://danielmaia-art.blogspot.com/feeds/7341474021230768453/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://danielmaia-art.blogspot.com/2010/02/do-i-need-to-draw-picture.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8079998730197778226/posts/default/7341474021230768453'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8079998730197778226/posts/default/7341474021230768453'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://danielmaia-art.blogspot.com/2010/02/do-i-need-to-draw-picture.html' title='...Do I need to draw a picture?'/><author><name>Daniel Maia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13944887846340981137</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/S3xf92_lNTI/AAAAAAAAAks/E9FTU8snfF4/s72-c/DMaia_2010A.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079998730197778226.post-4248994096744661172</id><published>2009-11-20T00:48:00.016Z</published><updated>2010-09-09T01:59:21.252+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Death demands</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;Comissão para a minha amiga Andreia Lopes, com a personagem &lt;b&gt;Death&lt;/b&gt;, de Neil Gaiman e Mike Dringenberg.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/TIgxHgYgskI/AAAAAAAAAl0/XgfTIZ9gZI0/s1600/DMaia_death2009.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/TIgxHgYgskI/AAAAAAAAAl0/XgfTIZ9gZI0/s640/DMaia_death2009.jpg" width="462" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;Commission for my friend Andreia Lopes, with Neil Gaiman’s and Mike Dringenberg character, &lt;b&gt;Death&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8079998730197778226-4248994096744661172?l=danielmaia-art.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://danielmaia-art.blogspot.com/feeds/4248994096744661172/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://danielmaia-art.blogspot.com/2009/11/death-demands.html#comment-form' title='3 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8079998730197778226/posts/default/4248994096744661172'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8079998730197778226/posts/default/4248994096744661172'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://danielmaia-art.blogspot.com/2009/11/death-demands.html' title='Death demands'/><author><name>Daniel Maia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13944887846340981137</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/TIgxHgYgskI/AAAAAAAAAl0/XgfTIZ9gZI0/s72-c/DMaia_death2009.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079998730197778226.post-5581812944735187365</id><published>2009-11-03T16:11:00.013Z</published><updated>2010-09-03T02:18:54.081+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Angel tattoo design</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;Um amigo encomendou uma ilustração para tatuagem, que lhe vai ocupar as costas(!).

Apesar da apreciável qualidade dos trabalhos submetidos e respectiva dificuldade em estabelecer parâmetros de avaliação que fossem justos face à disparidade de propostas, os vencedores são das obras que melhor congregaram a arte da escrita e grafismo num todo de relevo. Porém, vão certamente ver por lá outras BDs de grande valor, por vezes mais estético ou textual, e por vezes ambos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/SuD4w54TmhI/AAAAAAAAAd0/n07hIr305Sc/s1600-h/AG_Banzai_WIP.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/SuD4w54TmhI/AAAAAAAAAd0/n07hIr305Sc/s320/AG_Banzai_WIP.jpg" vr="true" width="222" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;E vou ainda lançar, no último fim-de-semana, o novo comic do projecto &lt;i&gt;All-Girlz&lt;/i&gt;, com trabalhos das mangakas Joana Lafuente e Selma Pimentel.

Aside from the overwhelming quality of the submited works and respective difficulty in placing avaliation parameters that would be fair towards the disparity of proposals, the winners were some of the comics that best gongregated the art of writting and drawing in one seemless whole. Nevertheless, there were several others there of great value.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;And in the festival’s last weekend I will also present the new comics of the &lt;i&gt;All-Girlz&lt;/i&gt; project, with works from mangakas Joana Lafuente and Selma Pimentel, titled &lt;b&gt;All-Girlz Banzai!&lt;/b&gt; and published by my small-press seal, Arga Warga (ie. pronaunced “Árga Úarga”).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8079998730197778226-1881811054474928551?l=danielmaia-art.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://danielmaia-art.blogspot.com/feeds/1881811054474928551/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://danielmaia-art.blogspot.com/2009/10/20-amadora.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8079998730197778226/posts/default/1881811054474928551'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8079998730197778226/posts/default/1881811054474928551'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://danielmaia-art.blogspot.com/2009/10/20-amadora.html' title='20º Amadora'/><author><name>Daniel Maia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13944887846340981137</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/SuD4qpZ8pNI/AAAAAAAAAds/Tm9F7NGBX-U/s72-c/20%C2%BAAmadora.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079998730197778226.post-7991322263156421111</id><published>2009-10-21T19:55:00.010+01:00</published><updated>2010-09-03T02:15:51.879+01:00</updated><title type='text'>All-Girlz Galore [Arga Warga;

I was 16 when I decided to redo a simple story I had from when I was a kid, about a space explorer that lands on a primitive planet and, unsuspectingly, goes from predator to prey. The plot was basic enough but called on me to draw various things, from space-ships to dinossaurs, plus had some quiet sequences, which was all good &lt;em&gt;workout&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/StfcmU7IxOI/AAAAAAAAAbc/SXJcJzxc0x0/s1600-h/DMaiaH1_2005.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/StfcmU7IxOI/AAAAAAAAAbc/SXJcJzxc0x0/s400/DMaiaH1_2005.jpg" vr="true" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;But right from the start there were problems. I was begining to mature &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;as an artist, so the concept and drawing stages took their toll. Growing incresingly frustrated with the less then likable results, I simply started from scratch. Over and over again…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;In the span of a few months, while in high-school, I struggled with it and began the comic 4 to 5 times, sometimes pencilling the full four pages and once or twice even going into inks. But by then the endeavour had become a “doomed” one; I could neither finish it nor was I contempt when working on something else.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/StfceXLCdjI/AAAAAAAAAbU/vZCKsQgvbEI/s1600-h/DMaiaH2_1998.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/StfceXLCdjI/AAAAAAAAAbU/vZCKsQgvbEI/s400/DMaiaH2_1998.jpg" vr="true" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;That’s when I came up with a different approach: to clear my head for other things but still keep at it, so I could&amp;nbsp;by-pass this block, I vowed to produce solely 1 page per year until the whole thing was finished. This enabled me to view the story from a different prespective, not as bound by sequential continuity from page to page (...meta-sequential art, some would call it), and in the process I was able to check whichever artistic progress I’d suffer within that time. The plot itself was kept much the same throughout, but I let myself be carried by the pages themselves.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/Stfc-_SfNdI/AAAAAAAAAbk/pi_8WcI03z8/s1600-h/DMaiaH3_1999.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/Stfc-_SfNdI/AAAAAAAAAbk/pi_8WcI03z8/s400/DMaiaH3_1999.jpg" vr="true" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;So, I started out in 1998, while in college, and managed to keep myself in check, only doing 1 page each year. It was releaving to face each artboard as one isolated part of the plot (ie. the landing, tracking, the first shot…), and just let the action flow. It was much the same, I think, as when a writer is lead by the story itself while writting a book, or an abstract artist gets driven by whichever work he’s doing. It was amazing to be able to exert your art that way, to trust your instints and see where they lead.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/StfbuASzz2I/AAAAAAAAAbE/CUaBniFGXp4/s1600-h/DMaiaH4_2000.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/StfbuASzz2I/AAAAAAAAAbE/CUaBniFGXp4/s400/DMaiaH4_2000.jpg" vr="true" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;To my surprise, the story wrapped itself up in page 7. In the following year, 2005, by then grown accostumed to that “ritual”, I went back and drew another page, out of order, which then became the new 1st page. More of a splash-page, really.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Also interesting to note is that the time in each year when I drew the page varied. I kept studying and making other comics, and also working freelance in advertising, but almost never consciously decided to draw that year’s page in this or that week; it was decided for me by the building up of anxiety or creativity regarding that respective page. I just began when it felt right, like an alarm going off.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/StfbjyiNctI/AAAAAAAAAa8/mJ3MnmUCfAc/s1600-h/DMaiaH5_2001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/StfbjyiNctI/AAAAAAAAAa8/mJ3MnmUCfAc/s400/DMaiaH5_2001.jpg" vr="true" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;That’s why I perceive this as an experiment in sequential art, of sorts. The script was only improvised later on, when the chance came to publish the comic, but kept more or less the same voice as it had in the start and little was changed afterwards. The narrator just conveyd how rotten &amp;amp; vicious the Hunter was, how much he was feared throughout the galaxy, to then, in a twist, suddenly make it all insignificant when we see the character turned prey to another predator.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/StfbS50WpMI/AAAAAAAAAa0/TT5s46-0E7o/s1600-h/DMaiaH6_2002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/StfbS50WpMI/AAAAAAAAAa0/TT5s46-0E7o/s400/DMaiaH6_2002.jpg" vr="true" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;The first&amp;nbsp;two&amp;nbsp;pages were published in the music newspaper Inside, in 1999. The finished comic was published in 2005, in &lt;em&gt;Sketchbook &lt;/em&gt;#1, a comic distributed in stores by Devir Editions. There, the artwork was digitally coloured by Rui “Kid” Moura.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/StfbMYjI2KI/AAAAAAAAAas/qh91It9bc8g/s1600-h/DMaiaH7_2003.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/StfbMYjI2KI/AAAAAAAAAas/qh91It9bc8g/s400/DMaiaH7_2003.jpg" vr="true" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Due to it, I won as Best Portuguese Artist in 2006’s IV Central Comics Awards, by majority of votes from the readers. Although thankful, of course, I felt the award was ill justified, given in came from a short story (which wasn’t uncommun in the Central Comics Awards nominations, though, where it was the actual public and readers who selected and elected the nomminies).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/StfauayWPuI/AAAAAAAAAaU/U1XGThZyVXk/s1600-h/DMaiaH8_2004.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/StfauayWPuI/AAAAAAAAAaU/U1XGThZyVXk/s640/DMaiaH8_2004.jpg" vr="true" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Perhaps, given that, I later decided to recover the story for a black &amp;amp; white self-published comic, adding to the story with a new prologue chapter (to be titled “Our man in Havanex IV”, a pulpy homage to &lt;em&gt;Our Man in Havana&lt;/em&gt;, with “Havanex IV” as the name of the planet where the action took place).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;...But before I had a chance to set that in motion, fate came in and invited me to prep a graphic novel based on the character. Said work is currently in production for a sci-fi european volume, to be published next year. I’ll show some samples soon.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Note:&lt;/strong&gt; This meta-comic was recently addressed in Austrian based portal &lt;em&gt;Hercules Film&lt;/em&gt;.

É sempre um prazer colaborar com a &lt;a href="http://www.festivalbdbeja.net/"&gt;Bedeteca de Beja&lt;/a&gt;. Há quase dez anos que acompanho o seu percurso e autores (ainda antes do Atelier Toupeira passar a Bedeteca), e desde cedo participo nos seus zines.

It’s always a pleasure, given I’ve followed their growth as a cultural group for almost 10 years (even before the Toupeira Studio became a Comics Library) and collaborate in publications of theirs since early on.

Following that, I also published the 2nd comic of the initiative (which showcases female comic artists), titled &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;All-Girlz Galore&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, by Arga Warga Publ.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/SrQWlTVY3XI/AAAAAAAAAQg/ucYmS-UeJvE/s1600-h/5FIBDB_ag1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" iq="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/SrQWlTVY3XI/AAAAAAAAAQg/ucYmS-UeJvE/s320/5FIBDB_ag1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/SrQWgoFVCtI/AAAAAAAAAQY/fzEfXiLK0co/s1600-h/5FIBDB_ag2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" iq="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/SrQWgoFVCtI/AAAAAAAAAQY/fzEfXiLK0co/s320/5FIBDB_ag2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/SrQWcgJeweI/AAAAAAAAAQQ/tewkdEdog9k/s1600-h/5FIBDB_ag3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" iq="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/SrQWcgJeweI/AAAAAAAAAQQ/tewkdEdog9k/s320/5FIBDB_ag3.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/SrQWXnPLdlI/AAAAAAAAAQI/9nd0YUq0QKU/s1600-h/5FIBDB_ag4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" iq="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/SrQWXnPLdlI/AAAAAAAAAQI/9nd0YUq0QKU/s320/5FIBDB_ag4.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/SrQVMcxKEjI/AAAAAAAAAP4/UErdvBkqIog/s1600-h/5FIBDB_agz1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" iq="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/SrQVMcxKEjI/AAAAAAAAAP4/UErdvBkqIog/s320/5FIBDB_agz1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/SrQVqzq6YzI/AAAAAAAAAQA/V7wSSGwG_oU/s1600-h/5FIBDB_agz2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" iq="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/SrQVqzq6YzI/AAAAAAAAAQA/V7wSSGwG_oU/s320/5FIBDB_agz2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Por último, a encerrar o evento, acompanhei Hugo Jesus, admin. do portal CentralComics.com (onde colaboro há já 7 anos…) na atribuição dos &lt;strong&gt;VII Troféus Central Comics&lt;/strong&gt;, prémios de banda desenhada portugueses nos quais os leitores e o público são quem determina os vencedores.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Este ano, os destaques vão para a editora BDmania, com os prémios Melhor Álbum Estrangeiro (Fábula de Bagdad), Argumento (Brian K.

Howard&lt;/b&gt; Homage Cicle that I’m coordinating in a comics fanzine, the short story “Titans of Hong Kong”, featuring the boxeur seaman &lt;b&gt;“Sailor” Steve Costigan&lt;/b&gt;, was distributed last July.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;Costigan is a tough but dumb prize fighter, that in REH’s tales end’s up winning at the last minute, as if favoured by the proverbial “luck of the Irish.” Similar to other characters in the 30’s pulps, Costigan stood out not only because of Howard’s talent but also for accepting the burlesc and humorous nature of its narrative.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;I tried to recreate that in the script, also calling Dennis Dorgan into the story, a character which, as was frequent at the time, funtioned as an &lt;i&gt;alias&lt;/i&gt; (like Kalidor was Conan’s…), a name the hero went by to go around incognito, thus alowing the writer to further exploit his creation on other periodicals, by-passing eventual publication agreements.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;Like with Conan, Costigan is one of Howard’s heroes that best reflect its creator’s personality and desires, him also being a boxeur and of irish blood. Perhaps once the more famous character’s have been exausted, such as Conan’s remake, Sonja’s (ok, she was inspired by Red Sonya of Rogatino), plus Solomon Kane and the forthcoming Bran Mak Morn, we’ll have a new “Cinderella Man” movie, à lá Howard (…the writer) ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;I’ve invited artist &lt;b&gt;Heguinil Mendes&lt;/b&gt; to draw this comic, after seeing his potencial in my Cadavre Exquis project. Adapting the action to his style, Heguinil’s work remains one of the freshest, most talented I’ve seen in Portugal over the last few years.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;“Sailor Steve Costigan in Titans of Hong Kong”, in TBDZ 141 (July 2009)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Script and lettering.

Se isso em si já foi catastrófico, pior ainda foi conter lá originais encomendados a uma amiga, a autora &lt;a href="http://mariacareto.blogspot.com/"&gt;Maria João Careto&lt;/a&gt;.

Although the loss was catastrophic, worser still was losing original artworks commissioned to a friend, author &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/onelibra78"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Maria João Careto&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;.

Antes de mais, abandonei o website-portfólio &lt;strong&gt;DanielMaia.com&lt;/strong&gt;. Devido a problemas no alojamento, que há quase dois anos me impedia de efectuar updates, e porque por isso ambos o webdesign e conteúdos estavam embaraçosamente desactualizados, deixei expirar o domínio. Até criar novo site, podem seguir os meus novos trabalhos e notícias aqui, e em breve também em redes sociais como Deviantart, etc. Anúncio tudo assim que esteja pronto.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Outra “novidade”, para elucidar muito boa gente, é que o &lt;strong&gt;Estúdio Hydra&lt;/strong&gt; que integrava foi &lt;em&gt;decepado&lt;/em&gt; há quase 2 anos. Em Janeiro de 2008, por desavença com a administração, decidimos largar o espaço. E como, após um período sabático, não nos foi possível encontrar outro local que conviesse os quatro, pois estávamos espalhados quais pontos cardeais, acabámos por nos separar amigavelmente. Para sanar mais equívocos e deflectir suspeitas infundadas, fiz recentemente um &lt;a href="http://hydrafolia.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html"&gt;derradeiro post&lt;/a&gt; no blog do grupo. “&lt;em&gt;Let Hercules himself do what he may.&lt;/em&gt;”;P&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Em meados de 2008, aluguei um &lt;strong&gt;novo estúdio&lt;/strong&gt; mais perto de casa. Não será a melhor das masmorras no mercado, mas é bastante acolhedora para uma pessoa e permite ter lá colegas a trabalhar ou em companhia, assim como reunir com clientes. Já está prometido a um amigo um &lt;em&gt;studio tour virtual&lt;/em&gt;, mas por ora deixo só umas fotos…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/SqBviqA2bmI/AAAAAAAAAMg/9UVpUdA4wIc/s1600-h/estudioDM_20091.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" lk="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/SqBviqA2bmI/AAAAAAAAAMg/9UVpUdA4wIc/s200/estudioDM_20091.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/SqBwTvKkKCI/AAAAAAAAAMw/RDTbBWM-FKs/s1600-h/estudioDM_20093.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" lk="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/SqBwTvKkKCI/AAAAAAAAAMw/RDTbBWM-FKs/s200/estudioDM_20093.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;De resto, há várias&amp;nbsp;f.a.q. a comentar e trabalhos-em-progresso e terminados por mostrar, mas vamos com calma. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Por agora, obrigado pela atenção e visita.

For starters, I’ve abandoned my portfólio-website, &lt;strong&gt;DanielMaia.com&lt;/strong&gt;. Due to growing problems with the server, that for nearly two years kept me from making updates, and because both the webdesign and contents were sorely out-of-date, I just let the domain expire. Until I put up a new one, you can follow up on new works and news from me here, and soon on other net communities also, like Deviantart, et al. I’ll announce it when all it’s a Go.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Another “old” news, to shed a light to some fine folks, is that the &lt;strong&gt;Hydra Studio&lt;/strong&gt; to which I belonged was &lt;em&gt;beheaded&lt;/em&gt; almost 2 years ago. In January 2008, due to quarrels with the landlords, we decided to dump the space. But because we lived too far apart, scattered like cardinal directions, and couldn’t find an affordable new spot that pleased all four of us, we simply separated on good terms. To stop baseless suspicions and deflect other misunderstandings concerning it, there’s &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://hydrafolia.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;one final post&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt; on the group’s blog. “&lt;em&gt;Let Hercules himself do what he may…&lt;/em&gt;” ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;Then, around middle of 2008, I rented a &lt;strong&gt;new studio&lt;/strong&gt; nearer home. It’s not the best dungeon in the marketplace, but it’s more then enough for one person and allows for having colleagues over to work or hang out, plus meeting with clients. I already promissed a &lt;em&gt;virtual studio tour&lt;/em&gt; to a friend, but for now here’s a just couple of photos…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/SqBwVvF0d5I/AAAAAAAAAM4/efN_so1LV3I/s1600-h/estudioDM_20081.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" lk="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/SqBwVvF0d5I/AAAAAAAAAM4/efN_so1LV3I/s200/estudioDM_20081.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/SqFCEgvWnPI/AAAAAAAAANA/ugAJFirwAQE/s1600-h/estudioDM20082.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" lk="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/SqFCEgvWnPI/AAAAAAAAANA/ugAJFirwAQE/s200/estudioDM20082.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;That said, there's still lots&amp;nbsp;of f.a.q. to comment and work-in-progress to show, but we’ll take it slow.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;For now, thank you for your time and visit. ‘Til soon (…or “tomorrow”)!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;DM&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8079998730197778226-6842313807704720606?l=danielmaia-art.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://danielmaia-art.blogspot.com/feeds/6842313807704720606/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://danielmaia-art.blogspot.com/2009/09/xyz.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8079998730197778226/posts/default/6842313807704720606'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8079998730197778226/posts/default/6842313807704720606'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://danielmaia-art.blogspot.com/2009/09/xyz.html' title='No rest for the wicked'/><author><name>Daniel Maia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13944887846340981137</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VZ5CtZzuf0c/SqBviqA2bmI/AAAAAAAAAMg/9UVpUdA4wIc/s72-c/estudioDM_20091.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
