We´re in Panama, issue 26

Issue 26 of “We’re in Panama!” is here! This issue is about ICON7, the illustration conference that took place last month in Providence, Rhode Island. I have already mentioned it here before but haven’t really been able to write down a full post about my experiences. So… I drew and a new issue was born.

Download your copy here and don’t forget to sign up for my newsletter – I send it out once a month, when a new zine is released.

Have fun! And join us on the celebration of the zine’s second year anniversary by sending your photos reading your copy of “We’re in Panama!”, until August 1st. The best photo will receive a special package on real “snail” mail. You will love it!

Elie!

This blanket was another first – and a very happy one! It was a collaboration with a long time friend, for another friend’s baby. The text is in portuguese and french, and was written in two different continents. Merci Manue!

Write to us if you wish to order your own customized blanket or see available ones, ready to be shipped.

Outra estreia abbrigatesca com esta manta bilingue. Trata-se de uma colaboração intercontinental que resultou numa manta em português e francês. Merci Manue!

For Lucas

This blanket is a first! It was customized for Lucas, but bearing in mind that it will be for his sibling when they come. The graphic designer in me rejoiced at the challenge and you can see above what the solution looks like. It is cotton floss on cotton fabric, with cotton flannel as batting.

Esta mantinha é uma estreia, já que foi pedida que fosse personalizada para o Lucas mas que também pudesse servir para os futuros irmãos ou irmãs. Vejam acima a solução encontrada. Que acham?

A manta é de algodão, bordada a fio de algodão e com recheio de flanela de algodão.

An aunt´s request

When an auntie requests a baby blanket for a beloved baby due to arrive soon, we oblige. This was the case with this blanket, made to order. If you look closely, you will see all the kisses this aunt planned to give her “niece” when they finally met.

It´s cotton floss on cotton fabric, with cotton flannel as batting.

Quando uma tia faz um pedido especial de uma manta cheia de beijinhos para a sua “sobrinha”, as agulhas, aqui deste lado, não param enquanto a manta não está repleta de repenicados ósculos para tão adorada sobrinha.

Como sempre, a manta é bordada com fio de algodão sobre algodão e o recheio é de flanela de algodão.

Dois anos de zine!

We´re in Panama, issue 25

Ei-la, a zine comemorativa do segundo segundo aniversário de “We´re in Panama!”. Quem diria? Dois anos! Leiam-na aqui, partilhem-na no facebook e não se esqueçam de participar no jogo. Mandem-me as vossas fotografias a lerem a zine até ao dia 1 de Agosto. O vencedor receberá uma surpresa na volta do correio – à moda antiga! E quem não gosta de receber uma encomenda postal? (Eu gosto, e quem me quiser mandar cartas, já sabe: Apartado 0831-00385, República de Panamá) E com isto… já estamos em Julho!

The zine is two years old!

We´re in Panama, issue 25

The second anniversary of “We´re in Panama!” is upon us and this is the celebratory issue number 25. I am happy that we – the zine and I – have come this far and am looking forward to going on publishing a zine a month for the next few months. Let´s see where this project takes me!

To celebrate this milestone, I´m inviting all readers – that means you! – to send me photos of them reading the zine, wherever in the world that would be. Please mail them to me or post them on the facebook page until August 1st. The best photo will receive a good mail day – and who doesn´t like to receive good, old fashioned mailed packages?

Next issue will be about attending ICON7, the illustration conference, in Providence, Rhode Island, in June. I hope to publish it before leaving for my vacation, in mid July.
