Walter Vasconcelos is an illustrator and designer. He lives in Rio de Janeiro / Brazil and works for clients all over the world.
He likes the idea that an illustration must be "read", deciphered, he doesn’t think of this as a kind of "hermetism", but rather as a way to preserve a "dynamics of creation". It is sometimes good to break the rules and build your own Universe.
Funky characters living in a mix-media collage world.
