Tupixel

Tupixel is a web-search tool for Brazilian and Brazil-based illustrators: it’s a starting “pixel” for those looking for drawings made in Brazilian lands. A work-in-progress (open to collaborations), the site covers a diverse and wide period of Brazilian visual arts, from Comics pioneer Angelo Agostini, who lived in São Paulo in 1860s, to the current generation of “100% digital” graphic artists.

Resulting from 12 years of research by graphic artist and illustrator Faoza, its database – the largest of its kind in Brazil – already has over 1,600 names. Among them, great masters of the past, professionals from many different styles and beginners of this art form so present in our day to day through newspapers, magazines, books, the web, packaging, fashion, advertising, comics, TV, cinema and alternative medias.
