TOMBO

Warm up for the day. Pencil with TOMBO brush pens. When we discovered TOMBO pens, we were fascinated by the brush pen, and all the different colors. We bought a bunch of pens years ago. Then we realized they are not waterproof, and if you draw with your hand touching the paper, you're going to make a big mess of your drawing.

We don't use these pens for any professional job anymore (maybe for some quick storyboards), but we still have a bunch and doing early warm up sketches is all I can think of so we don't waste them and throw them away.

Life drawings

Will you still miss me when I'm 64?

A self-other-self portrait done by Bá this week, which I colored, to celebrate our joint 64th birthday today. We have a lot to celebrate this year, and heavy celebration will occur soon, but for now we must focus on the work, the new work, the different work, and all the variants in between.

iGoogle

Everyone knows Google, but not that many know iGoogle, their enterprise on the "Web 2.0" world, with everything you want on one single page, full of gadgets that let you read news in RSS, the weather, Orkut, Myspace, Gmail, sports, Google Maps, whatever you think of.

As a marketing maneuver to spread the world about iGoogle, they've invited several artists from different fields from all around the world to create themes for this page, that the user can pick and have on their own personal pages. Bands (like Coldplay and Beastie Boys), fashion designers (Dolce&Gabbana e Oscar de la Renta), athletes (Lance Armstrong), cartoonists (Osamu Tezuka e Robert Mankoff), among many others.



The invited us to create our theme and we're very glad to be part of such a incredible project.

If you don't know iGoogle yet, just go to Google, click on the top right on iGoogle and give it a try.
