little spinarak for @razehider birthday

ive recently started experimenting with mixing my illustration with photomontage and this little guy was my first attempt.

the photo for the background is razehider's who i knew wouldn't mind if i stole and edited it for his own birthday present :^)

from then on i've started using copyright free pictures tho.

'saudação ao sol', 2024

or, 'sun salutation'

this year i celebrated one full year of consistent yoga practice, so i drew something about it. i wanted to represent what it means to me - a physical outlet where i'm encouraged to improve myself and my health.

i'm not spiritual in the slightest, and there's a lot of vague 'mysticism' that comes with the practice, but i've always just did my own thing and enjoyed it my own way. it's done wonders for my back and mobility in general, and im very thankful for it.

"amor/amar", 2024 or, "to love"

this is the LGP (portuguese sign language - 'língua gestual portuguesa') sign for the word 'love' or for the verb 'to love'.

there is a store/gallery space that i routinely work with (Águas Furtadas) who asked me if i wanted to illustrate something related to the national LGP day, on November, and i accepted with great pleasure.

i contacted the APS, which is one of the oldest deaf people associations in portugal, and asked them if they could review my sketches, along with a couple other questions. they were extremely helpful and interested! i don't know LGP and their help was crucial into making this as legible as possible for deaf people, which was one of my goals.

30% of the proceeds for all the sales of this illustration during the month of November reverted to them.

i think this was one of the most fulfilling things i worked during this last year, and i learned a fair bit about deaf culture. i would like to learn LGP properly in the future, and do more work related to signed language.

'aflorisiaco II', 2024 instagram | my website

[frankomudo]

man. i won't bore you with the details, but the last few months i've been going through a really really bad art identity crisis, seasoned with some impostor syndrome to boot. i remade this last piece and the ones about to follow, like, 4 times. i couldn't feel confident in any of my decisions.

i think i'm over the worst of it, and it feels good to be posting in my art account again. more to come

a person bought my art and then reached out to me and sent these pictures! this is their pet pigeon Zeca, named after portuguese artist Zeca Afonso.

this little gesture meant the world to me. i hope Zeca and his owners live a long and happy life :^)
