Costa da Caparica is where Lisbon goes to surf. Thirty kilometres of Atlantic beach stretching south from the Tagus estuary, with consistent swell, beach bars that open at dawn and a crowd that ranges from weekend beginners to serious competitors. It is where Thais lives and works, a few minutes' walk from the water.

The Caparica illustrations come from that proximity — from years of watching the waves, the fishermen, the kite surfers, the couples sharing a board at sunset. The retro palette draws from the colours of the place: the sun-faded tiles of the beach houses, the painted hulls of the fishing boats, the particular quality of Atlantic light in the hour before it drops.

This collection covers the full range of Caparica subjects: the barrel wave, the fisherman at the water's edge, the kite surfer against the sky, beach life on a perfect afternoon, couples in the shorebreak. Available as posters, framed prints and mugs — all hand-drawn, all printed on quality materials.

For surfers, for people who know Lisbon, for anyone who has spent a day on this beach and wants to hold onto it.
