 'I believe drawing is what I do best. It's also the best way for me to communicate things I can't find words for... It's a sort of therapy, a hobby, a job, it's what makes me happy.' - Illustration Now, 4.

Eduardo Recife was probably my main inspiration to use my hand-rendered type more in my work, as opposed to doing it as just a piece of side work, for no one to see. I prefer some of his older work where he uses more typography, some of his work for band 'Panic at the Disco' shows a little of his typography skills, almost like a teaser to encourage viewers to look properly at his designs.  Though my favourite parts of his work are the typography, his collage skills are outstanding too. Again, his Panic at the Disco work encourages his collage work exceptionally well. He uses such unusual shapes and parts of images that it holds a very 'Dada ' look, so unique.
Some of Eduardo Recife's clients include;
Panic at the Disco; Tshirt layouts for their tour.
Upper Playground.
The New York Times; article illustrations.
TCM; illustration stills for 'screened out'
... and loads more.
Recife has exhibited his work in many places in his place of birth; Brazil, but other exhibitions include 'Do Outro Lado' group show in Tokyo, Brazilian illustration, a group show in London and Art Trek 3, a solo show in Belgium in 2007.
