Ana Ferraz is a 25 year-old girl from Porto Alegre, Brazil. She is a huge underground and alternative comic book fan, which is what brought her interests into the art world. Her major interest is focused on that blurred line where illustration and fine art mix; creating figurative images and extraordinary characters, not only from cartoonists, but also from graffiti, skateboard, zine makers, punk records. She's not an artist, but she makes zines and draws a lot. She used to be an art director and illustrator for advertising agencies, but now she manages noz.art, a creative studio focused on art projects with her partner in crime Lucas Ribeiro. She also pays the bills writing about art, design, illustration, comics and music for two Brazilian magazines: Vista Skateboard Art and Void. ana@noz.art.br

Lucas and I went to Fortaleza for the first time last August. There we made some good friends. One of them is Weaver Lima, a great artist and comics lover. I posted about him here.
We visited Weaver`s atelier, and Lucas took some pictures. Some of them are featured on the last issue of Vista Skateboard Art Magazine. Check the "Visit" session of Vista bellow. (text and pictures by Lucas, art direction by Fred Chiba Chiba)
