My name is Gaspar Costa and I am a Portuguese illustrator focusing on brand identity, illustration, and hand lettering with a vintage/detailed approach, helping businesses stand out from the crowd.

​

I began my creative journey studying product design at the University of Minho in Portugal. Three years later, I discovered my passion for engraving and pen & ink illustration while taking a course with Daniel Silvestre. Since then, I’ve honed my craft, drawing inspiration from vintage design, nature, and the timeless beauty of intricate details.

​

I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with design agencies, studios, and clients worldwide, bringing their ideas to life with unique compositions that often feature detailed animals, natural elements, objects, and skulls. My work is a blend of precision and storytelling, with a focus on craftsmanship that sets each project apart.

​

When I’m not illustrating, I enjoy exploring the world around me for inspiration - whether it’s traveling to new places, quietly observing the details of everyday life, or spending time in nature. Outside of work, you’ll often find me running, hiking, or experimenting with photography and photo manipulation, which remain some of my favorite creative outlets.

Thanks for stopping to check out my work. I am constantly looking for new creative collaborations, so if you think I may be able to assist you on your next project, please reach out and say Hello!
