Antonio Goncalves

So this guy António Jorge Gonçalves, a Portuguese comic artist, made his debut in the periodical Se7e in the 1980s. The originality of his style was already visible in his comic 'Liboa, de Táxi', a story about the memories of a cab driver in Lisbon. Gonçalves proved to be a master of wordless comics, like in his series 'O Senhor Abílio'. His desire to create abstract and poetic pages made his work less suitable for a mainstream public. Probably his most famous creation is the detective series 'Filipe Seems', of which three episodes have appeared. Recently he has been working on some fantastically simple portraits of people on subways in 10 different cites, spending a total of three weeks in each city. Freind him on Facebook Subway Life
