Interview #1 - Ricardo Rodrigues

PQP: Please share with us your name, your location, and your website.
My name is Ricardo Rodrigues and my blog is wishes&heros.

PQP: How did you hear about PQP and what drew you to the project?
I visit [Dawbis'] work all the time because I love it, so when I saw [her] post about the project I was immediatly interested. I love collage and loved the idea of a big quilt made of paper and with the work of so many different people.



PQP: The theme for this project is A Day in my Life. Please tell us the story behind your contribution.

I made a face that represents my own and the hair was the projects I was working on at the moment, my soft art toys: ronras and heróis de bolso.








PQP: Is collage your personal choice of medium? If not, how would you describe your work?
Collage is not what I do all the time but I love doing it. I do mostly acrylic illustration and black pen illustration (the one I love the most). The other side of my work includes the soft art toys made of fabric and a lot of accessories. I like trying different materials and do not stick to just one thing.

PQP: If you could change one thing about the world, what would that one thing be?
I would take "hate" out....

PQP: What is your favorite part about being an artist?
Doing what I realy love.

PQP: Who are your top 3 favorite artists?
1. Gaudi
2. Rebecca Dautremer
3. José Vaz de Carvalho

Thank you Ricardo for sharing your words with us!
