Apart
from the comics sequences created for the FCP BD 2022/2023 ad campaign, I have been showcasing a few WIP crops, based on some
panels from those artworks…
Fora
as sequências de BD criadas para a campanha publicitária FCP BD 2022/2023,
tenho mostrado umas montagens de WIP, com desenhos em progresso
baseados em certas vinhetas daqueles trabalhos...
The
FCP-BD 2022/2023 ad campaign marks November with this
new sequential art, that features coach Sérgio Conceição,
multi-awarded soccer coach at Porto Futebol Club! In this comic, we
see coach Conceição coming up with a strategy for the fans to
energize the team in the field, reminding them that the spirit of the
Dragon is with them all the way.
Again,
the sequence was writen, drawn and lettered by me, with digital
colors by Susana Resende.
A
campanha publicitária FCP-BD 2022/2023 marca o mês de
Novembro com esta nova arte sequencial, que conta com a
presença do mister Sérgio Conceição, multi-premiado
treinador de Futebol Clube do Porto! Nesta BD, vemos o mister
Conceição a conceber uma estratégia para os adeptos energizarem a
equipe em campo, lembrando-lhes que o espírito do Dragão está
sempre com eles.
Mais
uma vez, a sequência foi escrita, desenhada e balonada por mim, com
cores digitais de Susana Resende.

With
the sharing of the first 6 advertising campaigns in sequential art
created for FC Porto, I now show the preliminary studies of
these narratives, which were conceived according to a list of
emblematic landmarks in the Northern capital to be featured, as well
as the most famous athletes in the soccer club.
An
important and traditional aspect of European comics festivals are the
autographs
sessions,
where readers can interact directly with the authors for a few
moments and fans can get autographs or signings
on their purchases. Whether in allusion to the CoBrA:
Operação Goa
graphic
novel,
nominated for Best Portuguese Comic
Book,
or another of the novelties that were released at the festival, here
are a
few
photos of the autographs offered in this Amadora BD…
The
33rd edition of Amadora BD comics festival wrapped-up today, so here
is a photographic record of my activities at the show, which was very
busy, both in terms of presentations in the auditorium and in the
signings arena.
But first, my thanks to the festival's management for
inviting me to join the program - and also for nominating my graphic novel with Marco Calhorda, for Best Portuguese Comic Book! - and to publisher Ala dos Livros for
their support, and last but not least, my thanks to the readers who
took a chance on my editions and who visited me for autographs!

The
FCP–Comic 2022/2023 advertising campaign has
published another sequence this month, as part of the promotion
strategy for the big match against SL Benfica, in which the FC Porto
Publicity Department offered 50,000 posters in the shape of FCP
jerseys to fans at the Dragon Stadium – a first-of-its-kind ploy to
galvanize fan support. The action was well captured in photos...
In
this comic, we focused on the fans and jersey, also anticipating the
action to take place at Dragon Stadium, dressed in blue and white.
There was also room for the protagonism of players, namely Toní
Martinez, Fernando Andrade and the Portuguese Fábio Cardoso and
Gonçalo Borges. The digital colors are by Susana Resende.
See
the previous campaigns here and here.
A
campanha publicitária FCP-BD 2022/2023 publicou mais uma
sequência este mês, inserida na estratégia de promoção do jogo
contra o SL Benfica, em que o Departamento Publicitário do FC Porto
ofereceu 50 mil cartazes em forma de camisola do FCP aos adeptos no
Estádio do Dragão – uma manobra inédita para galvanizar o apoio
dos fãs. A acção foi bem captada em fotos...
Nesta
BD, pusemos o foco nos adeptos e na própria camisola, antecipando
também a acção a realizar no próprio Estádio do Dragão, vestido
com o azul e branco. Houve ainda espaço para o protagonismo de
jogadores, falo de Toní Martinez, Fernando Andrade e os portugueses
Fábio Cardoso e Gonçalo Borges. As cores digitais são de Susana
Resende.
