FUN FACTS:

— THE IMPROVISED CONTESTER —

I practiced theatrical improvisation during my first semester of college. Five years later, I happened to play by chance  in the Rio de Janeiro Improvisation Championship: one of the members of a team couldn’t go and they needed a substitute in order to stay in the competition. I had gone as an espectator, ended up as a player.
I  am very fond of this kind of  drama play and  good at playing it as well.



— THE 6 Y.O. PROFESSIONAL —

I can say that I started working in the creative business  when I was 6.
I had a classmate who loved so much my drawings, that he proposed to give me one of his Action Figures in exchange for one of my illustrations. I love action figures and agreed instantly.
Later at home, my mother asked me where I’d got that new toy  and made me give it back to him when she heard the story.

It was a highly articulated
6” Green Globlin from the 2002 Spider-man movie;
not a cheap figure.



— A CONSTRUCTIVE SURNAME —

“Mattoni” means “Bricks” in italian.
The family name was originally “Maltoni”, but someone mispelled it when registering my grandfathers name at the notary's office in Brazil and a new family line was born, growing brick by brick with each new member.
