How could you not love a candid statement laced with irony? Exactly. Allow me to introduce you to Wasted Rita – “a visual artist, agent provocateur, anti-everything and jerk magnet based in Porto, Portugal when not traveling around the world”. She describes herself as “sarcastic as needed, and a full-time thinker who must write about life, human behaviours and play with words to keep breathing.”

Her (almost) daily blog became famous for its funny drawings and hand lettering quotes, and has been featured in countless art & graphic design websites, several magazines and a few books.
