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..

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.

Offf 2008 Lisbon Overall feeling...
Well after 3 days at OFFF, I'm still stoked about what happen this year in Lisbon. All OFFF records were beaten, there were more then 2500 people at OFFF when at Barcelona the biggest crowd was 1200 people. The atmosphere during the event was great. After a few years going to OFFF, I have reached a simple conclusion, events like this are truly needed, not only because its important to gather the worlds biggest, artists, designers, creative persons, coders and expose there work during the conferences but it´s also important to gather all this people around the world to exchange ideas and feelings about the actual scene.
It´s amazing just to watch the exchange of contacts and even work during OFFF, it truly moves our world and shakes the heads of many to become better professionals and to extend all our limits to another level. It´s impossible to describe the repercussions of an event like this, since I believe every time an OFFF event happens it really moves us all forward.
It also has a huge impact in the local scene, since in Portugal 90% of the Design companies were present at the event and not only digital, but from all kinds of design disciplines.
There was a few flaws, nothing special really and since it´s the first year happening in Portugal. I believe that the problems with the Wi-Fi and some other small ones were totally understood by everyone. Since it´s a huge event and the organization always stand up to problems and tried to solved them all as fast as possible.
We are still updating the Blog after the event, so expect some photo galleries and some videos. Stay Tuned and don´t miss next year event.
Cpluv loved OFFF 2008 Lisbon.
