Hi Diogo, how are you doing? Tell us something about yourself. What you like, your hobbies, etc? |
Hello, I am well and very happy with the fact that I have won the Scopial's competition for the August month.
Well, on my life, lately I am working hard and studying too much. Things I like to do is drawing , surfing, watching good movies, reading good books, playing guitar and make great party with my friends... |

|
‘My favorite question now :). Being from Brazil you might be watching a lot of football. Tell us who is your favorite player? |
My favorite football player. hmm ... interesting question because I live where the players are amazing, and it is difficult to find a favorite. The player who impresses me and I called it my favorite football player, is the Falcon (12), the best player of futsal (football hall of) the world!
He lives in the same city as me, and he's really a show in any football game that he is here!

What is it that you like the most about designing? Are you into t-shirt designing only or you do general drawings as well? |

Watercolors.
|
|
Now you have been declared winner for your design ‘Whirlwind of ideas’. Give us as much details about the design as you can please. How did you get the idea, how you started, etc. Can you show us how you created this design? |
The idea was to demonstrate the art form, that our greatest source of ideas and inspiration is reading, not only of ideas but of wisdom. Then a child reading a book, and the idea of showing that has incredible power a hurricane used to symbolize the wisdom that exists in a book. I've used watercolor and Indian ink to create the design. |

| Study, surf, and have good time with girlfriend. |
 |

Would you like to share your greatest achievement in the field of designing? (may be an award, compliment, etc) |
I had several awards and much praise, but my greatest achievement is the happiness I feel when I see my designs finalized, see that it express what I wanted. I have something really cool that I have received in recent days, a letter was created by Mohit (representing scopial), for me, about my designs and about me.
