“Frases da Música Portuguesa”

This book was designed and conceptualized by me in 2021. It was sold out in 16 days - in a total of 150 units.

I set out on this adventure together with 40 artists ‘from my Portuguese music’. At the same time, we chose each one's favorite phrases, for later, based on the dry decal, to be visually composed, drawn, and gathered in a single object. The text editing was in charge of my great friend Gabriel Merki - to all of them, my most sincere thanks

Extra info from the press release

"(...) It is a book with typographic and design features. Here I gather 40 Portuguese music artists, in a finite and practically discontinued technique: the dry tracing. Each sentence is chosen together with the author himself, totaling 40 different 'drawings' and framings based on the same technique. Distribution is worldwide and starts on December 29th. (...) I am available to clarify any doubts or extra information."
