Portrait of Pepe
• A present for the 40th birthday of Pepe, the F. C. Porto captain. 
•Work presented to my by Pedro Pimentel, Art Director at Jornal de Notícias
JN director: Inês Cardoso.
• 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.
• Portrait digital painting made with Adobe Photoshop and an XP-Pen drawing table.
