Carlos also did sculpture, wrote vaudeville plays, wrote lyrics for samba, and was a major talent in Brazilian Art Deco graphic design. ==Biography== Carlos was born and died in Rio de Janeiro. His first work, a drawing of a newcomer, was published in 1902 in the magazine ''Tagarela''. He soon became a regular contributor to the magazine and within less than a year, designed a cover. He collaborated in design and illustration in all the major publications of Brazil from the 1920s until the 1950s, including ''O Malho, O Tico Tico, Fon-Fon, Careta, A Cigarra, Vida Moderna, Eu Sei Tudo, Revista da Semana'', and ''O Cruzeiro.'' His oeuvre is estimated to be more than 100,000 illustrations, with a varied range of fictionalized personages and Brazilian popular figures of the time.
