| − | An independent Artist with the capacity of a design firm, DaCosta has been dubbed a ‘guru’ of vector illustration. This self-taught, multifaceted illustrator and award winning designer who started drawing from the moment he realized crayons make better tools of expression than snacks. Designing professionally Since '95, DaCosta is currently based in Vancouver and is the founder of Chocolate Soop Inc. A creative studio influenced by Japanese culture, graffiti and industrial design, his innovation challenges existing conventions and concepts while maintaining, as noted by his peers, “a rare combination of artistic vision, technical execution and commercial sensibility”. He demonstrates a “finely honed grasp of what does and does not resonate with his intended audience”, creating designs which “communicate familiarity without stooping to cliché” and characters which possess “weight and depth…wit and poignancy”. | + | An independent Artist with the capacity of a design firm, DaCosta has been dubbed a ‘guru’ of vector illustration.
