azulejos

been trying my hand at portuguese tiling..or 'azulejos'. a staple in Portuguese cityscapes and a tradition that has been going strong for over 500 years. originally brought over by the moors, the tradition of geometric or simple floral designs has emerged into not only folk designs like roosters but into grand, intricate wall murals, now found all over the world in other portuguese [ and spanish] colonies.

a while ago i completed a wall mural for Pipa Restaurant + Bar [my fams gig].

but more recently i've been getting into proper tile making. here are some 4x4 drink coasters. coasters, tabletop inserts, back-splashes, murals are available for commission.

since i've been posting a lot about other traditional Mediterranean countries' folk music.. why not a little from my own! an amazing tune [/sucker for choruses]!
