We went to Abrantes, where we joined the group of “artists” invited to the 2nd edition of 180 Creative Camp from Canal 180 . We took with us two Portuguese street artists, CORLEONE and SAMINA, in an attempt to reveal and portray two different artistic courses, academic backgrounds, techniques, languages and styles, a feature of this universe of Street Art. For 7 days and with more than 50 field artists we carried out two workshops: one of “stencil cutting” and another of illustration, a collaborative street art activity in a total of five signature murals always with the help and assistance of the local population and participants.
Biography: My name is Pedro Campiche (AKACORLEONE), I belong to the amazing ´85 generation and i´m an illustrator and graphic designer originally from Lisboa, Portugal, but currently living and working in Caldas da Rainha, a cool town near Lisbon, after a year living in Barcelona, Spain.

In this epic struggle to become a full-time illustrator i´m always divided between my love for vectors and my absolute passion for markers, ink, watercolours, moleskines doodling and screen printing, so i try to incorporate both digital and handmade elements in my work!
