"Francisco Martins, aka Cuckoo Martins is an brazilian illustrator, tattoo artist, designer and photographer. Born in the 80s, in Rio de Janeiro, came from a family of strong and artistic women, which he is pretty proud of.
Started to draw and paint as a child by the influence of his grandmother, who was a classic painting teacher in the arts university of Rio, became a photographer at an early age when quit university to work at a publicity and design agency. From there, became art director in some major companies, where did some work for well known brands.

It's a strong advocate that women should have space in society, art and leading jobs, and everywhere they want.
