Phil Portugal - Illustrations

Illustrator, painter, graphic designer

That's me !

I was born in the last century on the old continent, in the country of frog eaters. My passion for the graphic arts pushed me towards drawing and design studies. Then, I turned to music and sound engineering studies. I play guitar. After a varied career, (graphic designer, craftsman, company manager) I emigrated in Canada, in "The beautiful Province" where I work as production assistant in a major sign company in Quebec.

Working Phil

My course is sprinkled with initiatives and essays not always successful but which allowed me to quench my passion for creating. CD production , publishing of a "fanzine", tattoos, writing fantasy tales, concert organization, drawing courses for children...
From pencil to tattooing machine, not forgetting brushes, mouse or ceramic, everywhere there are tools and materials, there are creating possibilities ...

But my biggest success are my three children who are also my first admirers and critics. Finally, here are some authors, artists and characters who positively altered my reflexion faculties:
Will Eisner, Richard Corben, Scott McCloud, Peter Bagge, Norman Rockwell, Jack Davis, Gotlib, Lovecraft, Zorro, Joseph Campbell, Eric Powell...
