SPOT RECYCLED collection pieces





It was time to post some of the pieces produced from recycled and old/broken bibelots and lamp structures.

Recycling old fashioned bibelots into new colorful handmade and unique illustrated art pieces as well as using broken lamp structures to "redesign" new ones, is the concept of the SPOT RECYCLED new COLLECTION PIECES.

Some images below to get an idea! More images soon! :)

Concept Store Aparências and images of the hand painted logo!
























.............................................................................................................................

Spot was invited to create the logo and some "wall writings"
for the new concept store Aparências, based in Maia,
next to Fórum da Maia Cultural Centre! (Portugal)

There, you can find "fashion, some books and unpredictable objects".

Below you can find some images during the process and details of the logo painted in the window, as well
as some sentences chosen by Magda's favourites writers, to be written in the walls of the store.
In the end it was a beautiful result and I was very to be invited to be part of this project! :)

New Illustrated Pieces on Canvas!

























....................................................

NEW!!!
I created a new collection of "Crying Cities" inspired by
my intervention at Illustrated Garden Collective Exhibition
that took place last year.

These new pieces are a kit with illustration+pin on canvas.
It is made with acrylic and artificial grass. It is sold with
a small bag of green grass so that you can retouch your pin
every time you use it and the delicate grass in the pin desapears.
