Artist - Douglas Alves

'' His career began in 2000, working in shops and interactive advertising agencies in Brazil. After 5 years he decided to become independent and develop their skills further illustration. In 2007 he moved to California, where he live so far. An enthusiast who loves to explore the illustrations for nature, form and surreal collages. Over the years, he had the good fortune to work with interesting clients, such as Honda, The BBC, Scientific America, Zune, MTV, Coca-Cola and Burton Snowboards amongst others. Some of his works, as well as his personal work has been published in books and magazines around the world. (I love the weather, every day is a sunny day, but when winter comes and somedays are weak, I miss my home town, Sao Paulo in Brazil, where you never know how the weather will be, but I love the rainy days down there.)''

With many of his artwork artist reminds me with a similar technique the Johan Thornqvist who mixture the realistic images are not real figures which could be of even designed on compurer than by hand. While Douglas Alves in his outcomes uses more of darker colors, usually black can be seen from the paintings are not realistic around but they look as if they were made by hand. This artist also appealed to me but his paintings so much better would be presented if he used a little more colors in all of its projects.
