My name is Rodolfo Almeida, most people find it easier to call me Rudolph.

My Signature RHumal are just initials from my first , second and surname.

I've being facinated with drawing from an early age.On a visit to Disney Land when I was a kid I saw this caricature artist in action. I found this guy's work was so cool and thought that if I tried hard enough maybe some day I could do the same.

By the late 90's I thought I had practised enough and organised a caricature stall at an exhibition. I did 400 caricatures in 3 days and since then I never stopped. A few month after that I was traveling around South America , Europe and Australia from one festival to the next getting to know places that I had never heard of , doing what I loved best and getting paid for it.

Some times when I'm working and I see a child watching me and asking questions, I think maybe the story is repeating it self.
This new life not only helped me improve my caricatures but encouraged me to dedicate my self and improve my skills in other stiles and mediums like Visual arts ,Illustration, Water-Colour and Air Brushing.
