Projeto final desenvolvido no curso de Desenho Editorial, durante o Mestrado em Desenho na Faculdade de Belas Artes da Universidade de Lisboa (FBAUL), Portugal.
Uso de múltiplas técnicas de impressão analógica nos diversos pequenos projetos artísticos e editoriais (2017-2018).
Zine #1 – Theme to choose | Tema a escolha
Zine in A7 format, initially run on A4 watercolor paper and watercolor ink. Subsequently printed on A4 white paper 160 g / m2.
My idea was to choose a simple, direct and explanatory theme in which the images communicated in the first instance, and that could serve as a kind of "pocket guide." I chose the Color Theory, with the exposure of the colors of the visible spectrum and the result obtained from their associations, information of great relevance to any artist.

Zine em formato A7, inicialmente executado sobre papel aquarelado A4 e tinta aquarela. Posteriormente impresso sobre papel cartolina branco A4 160 g/m2.
Minha ideia foi escolher um tema simples, direto e explicativo, em que as imagens comunicassem em primeira instância, e que pudesse servir como uma espécie de “guia de bolso”. Escolhi a Teoria das Cores, com a exposição das cores do espectro visível e o resultado obtido a partir de suas associações, informação de grande relevância a qualquer artista.
Zine #2 – Colagem | Collage
Zine in A7 format, made with 70g g / m2 colored paper on A4 brown paper 90 g / m2.
Inspired by tropical vegetable silhouettes and vibrant colors, I sought to develop collages from cutouts and folds and paste them on dark paper to create contrasts, thus creating shadow effects. The arrangement of the collages is random and the leaves overlap each other, as in a natural environment of the rainforests.

Zine em formato A7, feito com papel colorido 70g g/m2 sobre papel cartolina marrom A4 90 g/m2.
Inspirada por silhuetas vegetais tropicais e cores vibrantes, busquei desenvolver colagens a partir de recortes e dobraduras e colá-los sobre papel escuro de forma a criar contrastes, criando assim efeitos de sombras. A disposição das colagens é aleatória e as folhas se sobrepõe umas às outras, como num ambiente natural das florestas tropicais.
Zine #3 – Carimbos | Stamps
Zine in A7 format, made on white sulfite paper A4 70 g / m2.
I used various school stamps purchased at used-goods fairs, letter-stamps and stamps in various colors. Here the creative flow was allied with the vivacity and randomness in the development of several themes depending on the images printed on the stamps. Comedy, cultural criticism, travel, movement, escapism, irony, jokes with words, sadness and joy were represented here in a playful, random and relaxed way.

Utilizei diversos carimbos escolares adquiridos em feiras de objetos usados, carimbos de letras e tintas para carimbos em diversas cores. Aqui o fluxo criativo esteve aliado à vivacidade e aleatoriedade no desenvolvimento de diversos temas a depender das imagens impressas nos carimbos. Comicidade, crítica cultural, viagens, movimento, escapismo, ironia, brincadeiras com as palavras, tristeza e alegria foram representados aqui de forma lúdica, randômica e descontraída.
Zine #4 – Gelli plate (A7)
Zines in A7 format, made on white and yellow A4 paper 70 g / m2.
Transfer printing done in black acrylic paint on gelli plate made from homemade recipe (1.5 cups glycerine + 14 sachets of colorless gelatin powder (Royal) + 1.5 cups of isopropanol alcohol + 1.5 cups of water ). I used various clippings from magazines and newspapers, with images around the human figure that worked to communicate an artistic, diffused and dynamic flow of ideas.

Impressão por transferência feita em tinta acrílica preta sobre placa gelli feita a partir de receita caseira (1,5 cups de glicerina + 14 sobres de gelatina incolor em pó (Royal) + 1,5 cups de álcool isopropanol + 1,5 cups de água). Utilizei-me de diversos recortes de revistas e jornais, com imagens em torno da figura humana e que funcionassem de modo a comunicar um fluxo de ideias artístico, difuso e dinâmico.
Zine #5 – Gelli plate (A5, 48 pages/páginas)
Zines in A5 format, made on papers of various colors A4 70 g / m2.
Transfer printing done in acrylic paint on the same gelli plate used in the previous zine.
In this project, I expanded upon the earlier concept of using magazine and newspaper clippings, this time exploring even greater color and paper color and paper weights, with simple manual binding. I looked at the diversity of paper colors in order to look for different contrasts and results. Throughout the printed pages sometimes I created later interferences with the use of stamps as well as different techniques of applying the paints on the gelli plate.

Zines em formato A5, feitos sobre papéis de diversas cores A4 70 g/m2.
Impressão por transferência feita em tinta acrílica sobre mesma placa gelli utilizada no zine anterior.
Nesse projeto, expandi o conceito anterior de utilização de recortes de revistas e jornais, dessa vez, explorando ainda maior diversidade de cores e gramagens de papéis e cores de tintas, com encadernação manual simples. Recorri à diversidade de cores de papéis a fim de buscar diferentes contrastes e resultados. Ao longo das páginas impressas por vezes criei interferências posteriores com uso de carimbos além de técnicas diferentes de aplicação das tintas sobre a placa gelli.
Zine #6 – Linoleum engraving | Linoleogravura
Zines in A5 format, made on papers of various colors A4 70 g / m2.
Printing by transfer made with acrylic paint on linoleum plate.
In this work, I was inspired by the Literature of Cordel, of Northeast Brazil, with its popular culture associated with the daily life of the sertanejo, inserted in the landscape of the caatinga biome. Such stories are commonly disseminated in certain regions through small booklets printed as engravings, the so-called "twines."

Impressão por transferência feita com tinta acrílica sobre placa de linóleo.
Neste trabalho, inspirei-me na Literatura de Cordel, do Nordeste do Brasil, com sua cultura popular associada à vida cotidiana do sertanejo, inserida à paisagem do bioma da caatinga. Tais histórias são comumente disseminadas em determinadas regiões através de pequenos livretos impressos como gravuras, os chamados “cordéis”.
Zine #7 – Kitchen Lithography
Zines in A5 format, made on papers of various colors A4 70 g / m2.
Transfer printing done in black engraving ink on aluminum foil. In this technique, the image was made with a lithographic pencil engraved on aluminum foil from the chemical reaction promoted by the exposure to coolant cola. The technique of rudimentary and homemade engraving was based on the rustic schematic representation and "naïf" of a fish.

Impressão por transferência feita em tinta de gravura preta sobre folha de papel alumínio. Nessa técnica, a imagem foi feita com lápis litográfico em gravada sobre o papel alumínio a partir da reação química promovida pela exposição à ação de refrigerante cola. A técnica de gravura rudimentar e caseira foi de encontro da representação esquemática rústica e "naïf" de um peixe.
Zine #8 – Grids
Zine in A5 format, made from A4 90 g / m2 vegetable paper.
I was inspired by an edition that explores geometry, where you can insert photographic images or not and that the images gradually pass through the space along the pages until completely covered. Vegetable paper helps to visualize the different structure of paper and in different contrasts.

Zine em formato A5, feito em papel vegetal A4 90 g/m2.
Inspirei-me em uma edição que explora a geometria, onde se possam inserir imagens fotográficas ou não e que as imagens passam gradativamente a tomar conta do espaço ao longo das páginas até cobri-la totalmente. O papel vegetal ajuda a visualização da estrutura e diferentes de papel e em diferentes contrastes.
Zine #9 – Cartoon
Zine in A5 format, made of A4 70 g / m2 craft paper.
I used dry pastel chalk in black and white to create contrasts and expressive force on the stroke. I took inspiration from paintings and the life and resistance history of the Italian Baroque artist Artemisia Gentileschi (1593-1656) and from the handwriting Margareth Artwood's The Handmaid's Tale.
The feminist critique of patriarchy is present in both the works of the artists who inspired my zine. I tried here to express the feeling of anger and revolt, and the resistance of the female figure inserted in a world dominated by men.
And I used expressive images and letters similar to those of graffiti aesthetics, made in strong and dynamic tracings.

Zine em formato A5, feito em papel craft A4 70 g/m2.
Utilizei giz pastel seco em cores preto e branco a fim de criar contrastes e força de expressão no traçado. Inspirei-me em pinturas e na própria história de vida e resistência da artista barroca italiana Artemisia Gentileschi (1593-1656) e em trechos extraídos do livro “The handmaid’s tale”, da escritora canadense Margareth Artwood.
A crítica feminista ao patriarcado está presente em ambas as obras das artistas que inspiraram meu zine. Tentei aqui expressar o sentimento de ira e revolta, e a resistência da figura feminina inserida em um mundo dominado por homens.
E utilizei para tal imagens expressivas e letras semelhantes às da estética dos graffitis, feitos em traçados fortes e dinâmicos.
Edition of the collection of all the zines produced during the semester.
The zines in A7 format were collected and tied in a sisal cord, and all zines were stored in an A5 envelope made of paperboard with handmade marbled paper.
