FOR THE LOVE OF CHIKA

There is a new blog, a new story, the story of how the story of Ro started and its development. In the first post you can see the first ten pages of what is (maybe) the definitive version of an old project. Then, in the next posts, we will go back in time and see how I got there. I will tell you stories related with the story of Ro which didn’t fit in it. And one day you will be able to read the complete story.

STORIES

The Hard Line was rearranged and hosts now the book version of stories that appeared in the Chinese Master Spy.
I found difficult to take care of several blogs regularly and be involved in other projects at the same time. This is also the reason why parts of Costa’s two blogs moved to this one some time ago.
See bellow some of the stories you can read in here (check the Labels section).





But to read this one you still have to go to the Chinese Master Spy.

THE AMERICAS

They are in the links section bellow, Jorge Colombo and Diniz Conefrey (with Maria João Worm on the site Quarto de Jade).

iPhone painting, by Jorge Colombo.

Jorge Colombo goes on making his touch-painting (the New Yorker calls it “finger painting”) revolution and adds to his prints and New Yorker covers created on iPhone some short movies showing us how the painting evolves. It is a show of very good work, instructive and entertaining (here).

Tonalamatl, by Diniz Conefrey.

Diniz Conefrey has maybe the best comic strip made in Portugal lately, Tonalamatl, following his excellent work on stories by Herberto Helder. It is a long saga, both the story and the making of it, if you can read Portuguese follow it on his blog (here the first part and here the second).
