Always late to the big events this blog is proud to bring some images of works by Alex Vieira shown at his latest venture, the Lote 64 exhibit in his hometown Vitória, ES, Brasil. The exhibit closed some days ago this march so this post is only an excuse to put up some nice photocopy art. Alex brought to the gallery the result of  his work around photocopying machines he got in an auction in 2008. His working process was also presented at the gallery: his vinyl player along with a case with LPs and his photocopying machines were on the floor upfront to the mural he would gradually modify in the period of the exhibit by adding new stuff he produced there. Also shown there were some leftovers he bound into hardcover books called the "Desciclopédia híbrida e monocromática sobre assuntos aleatórios - de A à Z", kind of an encyclopedia made up of found images. You can check some pictures of the opening night of Lote 64 here.

Alex Vieira is the publisher of Prego. You can also find him in the Reader Art section of the Juxtapoz website.

The good people at the Vertigo gallery in Mexico City organized this book for the Mexican office of Amnesty International. They invited 65 illustrators from around the globe to do a graphic message related to the conflict and it's consequences. The book was presented at the gallery at 11th this month while prints of the works hang from the walls. It is now moving around the city for the people to see it and sign the petition that will be sent to the United Nations.
You can go check the book and if you wish to sign the petition online here.

 This is one of the pages for the story I just did for the zine Mesinha de Cabeceira from Portugal. If you don't know Mesinha de Cabeceira or Chili com Carne or Marcos Farrajota you should go check the links. I must do a whole entry all about the wonderful world of Portuguese alternative comics and the guys doing it but for know let's just say that Marcos is finishing another issue of Mesinha and I'm proud to have some pages in it with script by Marte.
