• I've always been a huge fan of Pepe, even though I'm not a F. C. Porto supporter, so when I was given the chance to illustrate the handsome young man, I didn't hesitate. There was a chance for me to meet up with him to handover the gift in person, but as luck would have it, on the day of Pepe's birthday, F. C. Porto lost 2-1 to Gil Vicente. As one can imagine, the player was probably not in the best of moods to be taking pictures and accepting gifts.
