Remembering that time, when people bought the fruits and vegetables offered at the doors of the houses.

Inna Panzer

If this landscape reminds you of the old books of History of Brazil, you are absolutely right. We are back in Brazil at the beginning of the 18th century, at the time when Jean Baptiste Debret, among other artists and scientists, arrived here together with the Portuguese royal family. Like Debret, there were already many foreigners around here, and among them was Inna Panzer or Celine Tonnerre (depending on the situation), a French-German girl, growing up and discovering much more than most people can see.

Pedro in the World of the Dinosaurs

Here is the cover I illustrated for Pedro’s Adventures in the World of Dinosaurs. This book is the 3rd of the series of Pedro’s Adventures written by the independent author Sirlene Aliane. Pedro is a very creative boy who likes to play very much. He makes friends easy and enjoys playing with many children. In this new adventure, new characters will appear, such as his cousin Isac, who recently arrived and is the son of Sirlene, and the cousins Miguel and Matheus, who are old acquaintances of Pedro. This time, the adventure will take place at a picnic in July. After all, they are all on vacation.

Great Sunday Fair

Apart from the fruits, vegetables, and delicious foods, the fair was a paradise for those who like trinkets and old things. What was new was the confusion, and when there was none, Sunday didn’t even seem to have happened.

Walking through Devil’s Throat

This illustration is not for a story book as it looks like. It is one a set of spot arts for the book “Management by Goals – Theory of Restrictions (ToC)” by José Frederico Gomes, containing Guidelines for achieving success in Engineering Project Management.

The Headless Mule

The Headless Mule is a character from Brazilian folklore. In most tales, it is a ghost of a woman who was cursed for having given herself up to a priest and was condemned to transform into a headless mule that has fire instead of a head, galloping across the fields since sunset from Thursday until sunrise on Friday. The myth has several variations regarding the sin that turned the cursed woman into a monster.

Here I put an image I use to tell my version of this tale.

There’s a Bug in the Toilet

This is of the illustrations I did in my first partnership with the writer, musician, graphic artist and poet, better known in my city as Knorr. There’s A Bug in tue toilet is small book that tells one of the stories of João, a boy who, like others of his age, has such a fertile imagination that one day it even started to get in the way of pooping. But João, like other boys his age, is also very smart and soon found a way to solve the problem.
