Young Brazilian designer Nelson Balaban has updated with some maravilloso new work. I like that he is staying away from boxing himself in with a specific style and approaching each project as a unique and individual effort. It makes you harder to define or single out but I think that is the way of the future. He also has work up at both Flickr and Behance for you to check out.

I can’t tell you much about Alecio Braga Junior other than I am guessing he might be Brazilian and I am loving some of his pencil work in his Flickr-folio.

Bold, colorful, crisp and aggressive illustration and design work are brimming over the portfolio of Brazilian design firm Firmorama. Even their name insinuates that you are in for a celebration, and you most certainly are.

Portuguese (sorry I thought he was Brazilian but João corrected me) graphic designer João Oliveira sent an email today letting us know he has updated his portfolio with some new work. Some people don’t dig the more densely layered and colorful digital work, but I think he is one of the best at what he does and I have always been a big fan of his work.

Brazilian graphic artist Adhemas Batista has been very busy cranking out the bright, colorful and slick vector illustration work that made him known throughout the design world. He has collected his most recent efforts to display in an equally slick new website. He has also launched a blog if you want to keep up with him there.

Bam Studio sent this experimental animation video to me today and I was impressed on several levels. It’s an interesting bit of animation in terms of what is happening, but it is equally inspiring for the imaginative renderings of the figures. There is a vintage 70’s throwback feel in the execution that is just really fun to look at. I’ve got nothing but love for the Brasileiros.

A whole lot of credits:
