Tomás Toste
I’m a Freelance Art Director working mainly with advertising, design and branding. But, from this early start, I need to make a confession: I share my AD soul with a wannabe renaissance painter. My time floats between photoshop and a real canvas, and at the end of the day they all look the same. So, most of the time I get things mixed up and bring some POSCA markers and brushes filty with paint to the debrief. You can see it as a plus, could bring some craft to the table, and paint stains too.
