CALLIGRAPHY SKETCHBOOK 01 | Renan Torres

T- shirt illustrations made for my stores at chicorei.com and also threadless. This first collection aimed mostly at type, and calligraphy references and use, including some pop culture elements.

This project shows the development of a logotype for the theater company SURTO, and its first play MINHA MORTE (My Death). The work was all based on logotype, use of type, art direction and photography. The results you can check on the images.

Logotype and visual identity developed for the 10th aniversary party of the brazilian creative company, Chico Rei (www.chicorei.com).

Cartografias é o segundo álbum completo do instrumentista e músico Caetano Brasil. A inspiração para as composições vem cada uma de um lugar diferente no mundo e, a cada faixa, características dessas culturas se misturam com a essência do Choro brasileiro, e as referências do artista. Fui convidado para criar a capa e algumas peças de divulgação online para este lançamento. A solução visual tenta espelhar o que foi feito musicalmente no álbum, busca referências das culturas que inspiraram cada música do álbum, como cerejeiras japonesas, moedas ciganas e coqueiros nas praias caribenhas. Tudo isso se mistura com o rosto do artista em uma colagem manual. Alguns elementos isolados foram usados para peças de redes sociais.

BumpSide Brasil is a group of Ford Trucks aficionados.  They gather in events to talk about this cars that many of them collect, restore or just love to be around. They have invited me to make two illustrations for their t-shirts, the following images show a bit of process and the results of digital illustrations portraying ford trucks and exclusive lettering as well as a representation of Mr. Clint Eastwood. For this job I used both vector and photoshop brushes. The final results are two artworks for t-shirts.

Chicundum is a poster/magazine, made by the clothing online store Chico Rei. The content is varied, always created by different writers with fresh perspectives about life and the possibilities of this amazing world we live in. For this edition, that focused a lot on personal journeys, projects and traveling, I was invited to created a poster and the illustrations that go with the content. The quote in the poster says “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step”, and the small letters are variations of it, as “A successful career starts with a single dream”.
