A Horse With No Name

A Horse With No Name


I've been through the desert
On a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert, you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain

I am...


Daniel Castro Maia, a Brazilian designer & illustrator based in Denver, CO.

During the day, I'm busy growing brands at Floresta Creative. At night, I illustrate for stories I'm passionate about. On weekends I fight crime with the help of my cat sidekick. Don't believe me? Here's proof. I studied Illustration at California College of the Arts in San Francisco.

Thanks for stopping by!
