What inspires you Daniel?
I Always say that my work is a mix of all kinds of art and things I see. Every moment of my life is influenced by a different one, which makes my work much better and a unique.
Who are you favourite artists and why?
I love much of the work of Salvador Dali. Im my opinion he is one of the best .The compositions, the style ,and a life story behind art represented on surreal brushstrokes. Roy Lichtenstein is one of my favorites particularly in the use of different patterns in his works. I am very influenced too by an artist from New Zealand called Glenn Jones, an excelent t-shirt designer.
How do you produce your artworks and what mediums do you use?
I use to burn my brain all the time thinking until the idea come clean in my head. Then I jump to Google and search for some images for reference. Step three is to sketch some ideas on the paper using graffiti and then cover with ink nanking. I make a scan and go to Photoshop to make some retouchs. After this process is only transform into curves and finish in Illustrator.
What are the websites you visit regularly and where do you get your inspiration?
I am always visiting sites of illustration and t-shirts designs. I love the illustrationmundo.com, threadless and designbyhumans. I am always visiting others designers portfolios so I can always learn something more from this artists.
What do you do when you are not designing?
When I am not designing, I try studying, reading magazines and books of art. I use to go the beach and playing soccer, where I can work my creativity.
What do you think about Allmightys?
Allmightys is one of the major places where the designer can expand their knowledge about art and promote their jobs. It’s the place where I found respect and admiration from the artists involved.
