Brief History

Before working with internet, I was at a restaurant and doing some social projects with taiko, we founded 2 Groups in Belém/Pará, Kodon and Kaizen taiko group - Did a trip to Japan with it, and rocking over some states. It was fun!

Moving to São Paulo, I started in 2008 when the internet was having a initial moment in marketing. The earn money online with mini sites was initiating in Brazil, I remember Rogerio Job, I bought it his training to learn internet marketing, he was one of the first guys to start the business here, so I started to create a ebook to sell online, was about self development, about that time, it was kind of "easy" to ranking websites in 1ª page, the project was a pack of ebooks about self development in the relationship area. Also with a earn money online website, could make some bucks with google adsense, both websites.

In that moment, I started a partnership with a friend of mine, then I dropped the ebook website. We starts to creating email campaigns and help other people sell more through email, he work with the project these days(which is pretty nice to see, a project that we help to build, it is awesome), .br/, we were creating marketing campaigns via email, about 3 years, but I leave and started on my own with a drop shipping online store. 2014.

The dropshipping was just a month, and I had to work in a restaurant as a waiter. Since that I started to do freelance jobs .com/u/kfernandojosei and .com/designer//fjkp123, started the Udemy courses, I had a lot of websites about photoshop and digital art, lost almost every thing but I found a Flickr old account, if you want to check it! .com/photos/psdarts/, Andrei Oprinca and Flew Designs was the influences back that time for photo manipulation, and Chris Dory for webdesign with Photoshop, Photo Editing was Mann Retutpro, and also affiliate programs .com/loopscloud/. 2018.

That's when I start to study drawing and painting, Aron Blaiser, Toon box studio, Kyle Webster and Noah Bradley was the influences to start, a lot of tutorials and finally I did the Ivan Querino drawing for beginners courses, and this year I completed the Character design course, I'm studying also realistic drawing with Reginaldo Artes and some other courses at Udemy, Thiago Spyked, and also Victor Beuren Course. I'm always studying to update my website and improve my skills. Lots of studies with books of Ken Goldman, Norman Battershill, Ernerst Williams Watson, Doug Lindstrand, Lee Hammond, Hans Scharwz, Don Bolognese, Linda Well, Len Hend, Kurt Anderson and so much others. 2022.
