END OF THE YEAR IS NIGH

December 01

First image of Joan of Arc, the third project I am doing with Tony Lee for our Heroes and Heroines series from Walker Books. Hamlet launch in São Paulo on the 10th. Plus, advertising storyboards and illustrations.

Happy Holidays to all!

WORK

September 06

Coldest City all done and sent. To be launched this month: Mozart's Magic Flute, done with the same team as Hamlet, and MSP novos 50, with a 4-page story I did using Mauricio de Souza's characters.

Also: a comic strip for Kaya, on Bruno Luupe's blog (English version here), and I did the art for this year's invitation of Brazil's national comic trophy event HQMix, that will happen on the 16th.

TRAVELS

June 01

I did the illustration for the cover of this week's issue of Veja, about the Air France tragedy of a couple of years ago.

I'll be in Rio de Janeiro on the 16th for a workshop at FNLRJ about Robin Hood, and the Brazilian launch of the graphic novel. And on the 17th the launch and autographs of the adaptation of Hamlet I did with Juliano Oliveira and Tarsis Cruz.

At the end of the month I'll be giving a talk at the CCJ here in São Paulo with colorist and illustrator Alexandre Jubran, one of the very first people I ever worked with, about digital comic art and the international market.

TIME STOPS FOR NO ONE

April 20 2011

Very irregular updates for 2010 and 2011. Let's see if I manage to sort that out by the end of the year.

Illustrations for last week's Veja, about the school massacre in Rio de Janeiro. Plenty of Storyboards. Last batch of Coldest City inks being done. Excalibur: The Legend of King Arthur has been in bookstores for a month, and a now sketching for the next project with Tony Lee.

Kaya is 1 year and 1 month old today. Thinking of writing a couple of children's stories…

WOW

November 09

And I thought my life was chaotic before. Kaya is now 7 ½ months old, with two teeth and plenty of wide-eyed curiosity.

Inking Coldest City. Drawing newspaper and magazine illustrations, updated website's illustration gallery. Put up an art blog, for sketches and paintings. Doing advertising storyboards.

HQMix 2010 was a great show. A couple of my illustrations are now back in print due to a oversized War collection. And I will be giving a workshop at the Rio Comicon next week.

A NEW LIFE

May 28

King Arthur colours all done and sent. Cold City pencils started. Classes at Quanta every Monday and Wednesday evening. Twittering occasionally @samhart73 … And nappies, lots and lots of nappies.

APRIL, ALREADY?

April 20 2010

Time sure flies when you're having fun - and changing nappies every couple of hours. Kaya Paiva Hart was born March 20th, and today she is one very cute month old.

All 144 pages of inks for King Arthur are finished, colours are well on their way, and I'm gearing up for the next couple of months on my next project, Cold City, with Antony Johnston.
