Geckonidae is the cientific name for the gecko's family, those small creatures that live glued to the wall and that borrowed their name to Gecko's wall decals line.

In 2008, to celebrate our first year, we decided to gather 20 designers, illustrators and artists to develop exclusive drawings and to be a part of Gecko's first procreation: Geckonidae, guest artists gallery.

Marcos Leme: começou no ramo por acaso, estava no Lido e resolveu fazer uma ligação importante. Foi até o orelhão mais próximo e.... pronto! percebeu que era aquilo que queria pro resto da sua vida. Estava rodeado de cartazes, anúncios e todo tipo de informação. A tipografia, a fotografia, as cores, um mundo mágico se abria. Não sabia mais pra onde ligar, as oportunidades eram incríveis. Resolveu abraçar a causa e hoje possui um acervo incrível. Mulatas, morenas, loiras e ruivas, muito bem cuidadas e asseadas.
