Rita Carvalho plans to pursue a career as an artist after winning the hearts of San Francisco 49ers fans by drawing quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo for 404 days.
The other was a 25-year-old artist from Portugal who became an online star for pledging to post a new drawing of Garoppolo, her favorite player, every day until he was traded off the team.
“I don’t even live there,” Carvalho told The Washington Post. “I’m from another country, and people just received me with open arms and supported what I do. I get to do what I love every day, and it’s because of them. So I’m very grateful for it.” “I was like, ‘Okay, I can do that,’” Carvalho said. “I think it’ll be fun, and people will be entertained. It’s kind of just giving them a reason to smile during the offseason.”That offseason passed without news of a trade. Carvalho continued to crank out her drawings, which she said took anywhere between one to five hours to complete.
. Carvalho had planned her final drawing in the series well in advance: Garoppolo in the place of “The Shawshank Redemption” character Andy DuFresne celebrating his freedom in the rain. When she hit send on the final post on Monday, she said she felt emotional.“It was a part of my day,” she laughed. “It’s kind of weird not doing it every day anymore.”Carvalho is using her newfound spare time to plan her next act.
