IN WESTERN IBERIA THERE EXIST A PEOPLE WHO PERSISTENTLY ATTEMPT TO COMMIT SUICIDE WITH A SAD SMILE ON THE FACE

Cartoon by Cristina Sampaio

When Portuguese people attempt to commit suicide they usually end up cutting one of their toes, worsening their situation, but that is a different story. I particularly like this drawing from Cristina Sampaio in A Drawing a Day, a site she started to keep herself fit and disciplined, with both published and unpublished works. Although the Portuguese Republic is today no more nauseated or suicidal than several other countries in Europe, it shows well the prevailing disgust of the Portuguese for not finding already paved the road to paradise. This drawing could punctuate all the years of the Republic and could be adapted to several centuries before that.

Cristina Sampaio also makes part of the group SpamCartoon with some of the best cartoonists in Portugal (with André Carrilho, João Fazenda, and also sound designer José Condeixa and scriptwriter João Paulo Cotrim), already on the links of this blog.
SpamCartoon has shown no activity since last summer, but is now hosted by a TV show (you can see the latest movies in YouTube).

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).
