EmployedBiography:
David Carvalho, has been born in 1980, he is a Portuguese Artist & Designer that has been developing work in many design disciplines, by himself and together with also other artists all around the world for the past years.
He started studding design by his own since he was a kid and simply dedicated is life to one of his biggest passions: creativity. Since then, he has worked for many design studios in Portugal. In 2003 started his own design company where he stayed for 3 years, named Pkage Design, based in a co-foundation with friend and designer Nuno Salvaterra where they both assumed the Art Direction and still continued to do design works. Actually David is working for Spirituc as a Senior Designer.
Being moved by is own rebel personality, he was responsible for launching many well known projects in Portugal. In 2002 launched the first Design related PDF Magazine called Camouflage where for more then 3 years he got together 80 Portuguese Artists, Designers and Studios. Side by side with Pkage, in 2004, once again together with his partner, he was also responsible for the launch of Propaganda that was the first Design Online Store in Portugal, that gather exclusive artwork from well known artists and studios, like Superdeux, Kleber Design, Tom Muller, Ekiselev, David Carembou, Mauro Gatti, Musa Collective, Evostruct, Mark Boyce, Dirty Deluxe, Jemma Gura and so many more..
David was also Founder and Fashion Editor for the Online Lifestyle Magazine Rua de Baixo, since 2003, where he has also collaborated with writing and photography works.
As an artist, he has created many alter egos where he expressed himself in very different ways. Electroclandestino was the most known, with which David participated at exhibitions in London, Paris, Bruxelles, Berlin, St. Petersburg, Moscow, Tokyo, Barcelona, Lisbon, OPorto, Milan, São Paulo and so many other places. Being some of his work published in international design books and others awarded at Design Festivals.
Karpa killed Electroclandestino in an internal dialog that assumed the homicide for Fame and Glory! “The world was too small for the both of us”, he said before pulling the trigger. Karpa, besides being a slaughter murder, is the new alter ego of David’s work, a new era, a new vision, a new way of observing, feeling and showing it to the world.

R.I.P NTMY
´
"Gal + Pals, we are sorry to inform all of you the fact that NTMY is no more.
We would like to thank everyone who's been involved with the site since it's
opening and through until now, also many thanks to our loyal users and
visitors who kept everything running.
One of our front figures, Marcello Baldin, is about to launch something wicked
for all of us, designers, around the globe.
While this is being developed, check North Kingdom's Reform & Revolution site.
Yours Truly,
NTMY"
If you ask me for the responsible I would blame Wordpress, blog monster templates and alike. Nowadays everyone wants to have a cool trendy blog and it´s so easy to put a project up and running, that they disappear with the same speed they appeared.

Call to the Diesel Wall...
I'm a true Diesel fan, and it´s been a while since I'm waiting for the Diesel Wall Contest, which I think that is one of the most "rewarding" art/design contests. Who doesn't really want to have a wall in a big city painted with it´s own work, this time the cities are Barcelona, New York, Zurich and Manchester.
I'm also writing this because the past issues of this contest the winners presented some really poor crap work ( in my humble personal opinion! ) so I really hope this time would be different.
The site still looks a bit strange with no entry form, but I suppose it will be updated in a near future, keep an eye on it.

Universal Everything & Wolff Olins
"As part of their winning pitch for all London 2012 branding, we were commissioned by Wolff Olins to bring the 2012 Olympics to life, releasing the energy contained within the logo. Designed and directed by Matt Pyke, CGI by Peppermelon, sound by Freefarm."
Universal Everything grabs the polemic 2012 Logotype. The result was quite impressive. Give it a check!

Nazaré Special Edition 2007
When we talk about charging 7 to 8 meter waves on a internacional Bodyboard competition, you must be talking about Nazaré Special Edition held in Portugal, that happened this last week. This is without any doubt not the main topic over computerlove, but any person would be completly impressed by the photos of humans challenging nature without fear.
This event happens every 2 years and is worth spending time in Portugal to see it live.
