Our artists

Luis is “50 years old going on 14.” Since 1992, he has been illustrating professionally out of his workshop in Algarve, Portugal, by the Atlantic Ocean. The beach and ocean have always been his main source of inspiration. An illustrator and a graphic designer for most of his career, he became a full-time illustrator in the last few years. His work includes children's books, concept art, cover art, board games, posters, prints, logos, greeting cards, schoolbooks, and software. He was part of a team that created the first professional PC video game in Portugal, for which he spent three years designing the game characters, creating hundreds of sprite animations (pixel by pixel on the old Deluxe Paint software long before Photoshop came along), and modelled and made a few 3D rendered short films.
