Hey Draco. Just a short biography, please.
…
Ok, let’s go!
And what is the history behind the “Don’t step on the grass“ design?
…
One day I was sitting on the grass of a park waiting for a rock concert started, I had this idea when I saw my shoes dirty by grass. (see photo about this day in annex)
Where are you now located? Tell us about your current business and projects.
…
Currently I live in a small apartment near the agency where I work. I am involved in a major project of the agency, to launch a website of Services for “georeferencing� and while hardly have time to work on my personal projects.
Well, what would you suggest to a newbie, who just starting his or her career as a designer?
…
I think the basis for who is the starter, is not holding fast to one style of work. Seek ways and try different flavors and thus become a complete professional.
Who are your favorite designers and artists around the world? Why?
…
Oh my god, I appreciate the work of various professionals in different fields, but I will speak mainly of those who were the first to influence my work. 
The first is the ‘El Greco’, the first great painter who had the pleasure of knowing the job. I won a book when I was a child.
What do you think about communities these days?
…
If you are talking about the internet communities, I think is the main gateway for new professionals and a source for references and studies of style.
Do you work on Mac or PC? Why did you choose this platform?
…
PC. Well, where I was born, have a PC was a very difficult thing to have a Mac was almost impossible. Today, exchange the platform is not an essential thing.
Do you play videogames?
…
I like a lot of videogames. But I do not have one. I spent much of my free time when I’m playing something, and now time for me is more than money. 
The only game I play now is the ‘City of Heroes’ with my evil necromancer’ cyan skull ‘. =D
What are your hobbies?
…
Nothing much different from most men of my age. Listen music, dating, read, watch movies and most frequently of all, draw. = D
What is THE place on earth you would like to visit?
…
For now I still need to know my country in full. Brazil is a giant country and I still have a lot of places to go.
How many hours do you work, and what is stress for you?
…
Usually I work from Monday to Friday on average about 15 hours a day. I have insomnia, then, most of the time when I awake, I’m producing something.
Latest movie you liked?
…
At last the weekend I watched ‘Star Trek’, I’m not a fan of the original series, but I liked this version so much. But, speaking about the last film that I love certainly was ‘ Crash ‘. This really is one of the best I ever saw.
What’s your favorite sites? Why?
…
Among my favorites are the Abduzeedo (http://abduzeedo.com) with daily inspirations very precious and deviantART (http://deviantart.com) where I put most of my work and got the news of other artists who are among my favorites.
Any plans for the future?
…
In the distant future I intend to launch a book and a series of graphic novels, but this is a project for many years ahead. Today I want to finalize some issues to have a little more free time and enjoy the life.
