Words from the curator:

In "The Little Pop Star," Rogério creates a little story of whim and nostalgia with the taste of strawberry and rhubarb. I can just imagine crickets chirping in the background of this quiet forest setting of awe and enchantment. Is that a young Bob Dylan on atop that toadstool?

Tell us about this design:

I like to play with children themes. I love their imagination and find it incredible how they are able to create fantastic worlds that are only theirs, and from anything. They can suddenly come up with a show in the middle of the forest for their imaginary friends.

Tell us about yourself:

I always loved to draw. I went to an art school in my city, started professionally doing cartoons for a newspaper and then went on to advertising. But I always managed to keep my passion for drawing in every work. In 2007, me and 3 other friends joined to found Estúdio Alice, where I work as a designer/illustrator. www.estudioalice.com.br

What inspires you?

Music, grafitti, my son and my life.

How did you get into art?

I have been drawing since very early, then went to art school and started to make a living with design and illustration. But what I really like to do are personal, uncompromised projects, when I can just use my ideas while listening to music and spending nights creating shirts, comics and any other thing that makes me happy.
