Though I couldn’t read Portugues, I thought that language wasn’t necessary. His paintings and drawings told me all. Then I bought a Wacom tablet and Intuos pen, thinking that I’d like to tell stories like Milton does. desktops desktops icons music atelier cozinha promenade welcome Mountains I love hiking mountains, especially in winter. In 2005, I took five days off in a row and enjoyed four days travel in Northern Japan Alps. Sun rose brilliantly every morning but it rained hard in the afternoos like a daily schedule of a stubborn person that I woke up very early in the morning and left for the next destination to arrive the hut before noon. For one or two hours before rain started, sitting on a rock near the hut and sunbathing, I enjoyed my time of silence with a can of beer or two. Photograph It’s fun to catch light and shadow. First, I bought an old Canon, Minolta came next and a Pentax67. Pentax67 is a really good camera but so heavy! So are lenses and a tripod that I can’t take it with me to mountains anymore. Now I use KONICAMINOLTA Digital. Makin Icons Making icons is fun. I was really lucky to get the second prize in the icon design contest called “Pixelpalooza” in 2001. The Pixelpalooza contest takes place every year at Iconfactory.com. And you can get thousands of nice icons there. Music I went to the optical shop and asked the optician that I’d like to have a pair of glasses, the same ones John Lennon used to wear. Though I’m no talented, of course, I can play Imagine on my Casio. Copyright I’m not a professional designer nor an artist. I draw, paint, take photos and make music when I’m off duty.
