Hello and happy 2006 to all my readers! If I still have any, after all this time without posting... This year holds many surprises in store, and I'm actually excited about it. How about that?
I'll keep you posted (literally) about them as things happen, but for now, here's a little lovely site to keep you busy. It's called Fray and it's full of personal stories, beautifully illustrated. Some are funny, some are touching. They are all worth reading.
Patrícia Furtado is a freelance graphic and web designer, working from her small studio in London. You can appreciate her work by visiting the portfolio at pap-L.com.
Favourite Things is her more personal corner of the web, putting together an assortment of news, links, reviews and even recipes in a cute magazine-ish form.
And yes, her favourite colour is pink, and she is not embarrassed about it!! The Sound of Music is not her favourite movie, though... not anymore.
Pink (who'd guess?)

The great visionary Acácio Jeremias finally has a website of his own and it was designed by pap-L. Acácio is a hillarious character (born out of the twisted mind of Diz Que Disse's creator, André Toscano) intent on asking the questions no one has ever though about. While we wait for his book to come out, we can enjoy his video-podcasts (the title and credit sequences were designed by pap-L as well). The first one is just out, and a few more are on the way. So go there and have a laugh! (Sorry, portuguese only...)
