A Friend a Day

Ask me anything   Hi! I'm Deborah Antoviaque
(aka Tartaruga Feliz), I work
with illustrations and animations.

I decided to catalog all my friends, one per day until the
end of the world, in 2013.

(You know what? One per day
is too hardcore - I need to enjoy real life sometimes!)

Contacts and stuff:

    Sun, Jan 29, 2012 - Me and my shame
Traveling around the world while working can have some bugs. The internet connection being the biggest of them. Every time we move to a new place I’m almost praying for the internet to be reliable.
So, this is my apology for the first time I couldn’t comply with my commitment. My shame. Which is also a good friend I have…

One of my best friends, I feel like I know him since forever even though I only met him 2 years ago. You know, he has this type of personality that goes well in any kind of situation. Specially parties! I love to party with him!
He’s also one of the voices for a character from another project I have called Tartaruga Feliz e Seus Amigos. I promise the first episode will be released over the next 2 months, Karim! <3
You can check some of his amazing work here.

Ah, Alexandre… Once you meet him you&#8217;ll never forget. Specially when he tries to teach you how to dance Britney Spears with belly dancing. Love it!

    Tue, Jan 24, 2012 - My (ex) tablet
My dad gave me this tablet as a birthday gift 10 years ago, when I was starting to draw. I remember it was very expensive in Brazil, almost nobody had it and he had to pay in 5 or 6 times. 
It&#8217;s really sad, but last week it just broke. Its going to be difficult to adapt to a new one…

I always had cats around me. These are the 3 last ones I have, except for one, that managed to make the cliché about cats curiosity present in my life forever. I miss you Niko. &lt;3

I always felt really comfortable around him… This is rare to happen to me. I never feel comfortable around people. Only cartoons. And cats. I think its because he was always so honest that I never had troubles having deep conversations with him.  
Talking about deep, he&#8217;s one of the owners of a project called deepbeep, so go over there and shake with him to animate your Sunday! I mean, if you&#8217;re one of those people that likes to shake&#8230;

&#8220;Thata&#8221; is my favorite friend to talk about illustrations, animations, magazines and books for kids. She makes me feel less guilty for choosing to watch Pocoyo and Sponge Bob instead of an intellectual French movie.
You can read her blog here and you can also cross your fingers for her to decide to actually start a certain project with me. :P

Favorite things to do with Ana includes getting lost with my scooter around Paris, eat a bunch of French candies and watch horrible videos on youtube.
