About

SABBATICAL PERIOD (2024) Digital Nomad / Senior Book Cover Designer / Food Illustrator / Bartender / Voyeur / Africa Lover Since childhood, my father instilled in me the belief that money is best spent on books and travel. Following his wise advice, I have become a proud Book Cover Designer and a Digital Nomad, blending my two greatest passions. Beyond the world of books, I've built a career as an Art Director, collaborating with numerous multinational advertising agencies. My background in Graphic Design and Illustration has given me a versatile skill set that I continuously hone. I maintain regular collaborations with both American and European publishers, bringing their stories to life with unique and captivating covers. And in my spare time, I bring food to life with whimsical illustrations that appeal to both kids and adults. I also add a touch of character to luxury cosmetics and perfumery through my expressive and rough sketches. And of course, I love capturing personalities in commissioned portraits, turning each one into a unique and lively piece. Lisboa • Luanda • Austin • L.A. • NYC

"My experience with Mr. Tocas, regarding the cover of my penultimate CD and other complementary graphic communication work, was highly positive.

I always felt welcomed in my aesthetic and communicational expectations. I realized I was working with someone concerned with active listening, which always gave me the feeling that someone was listening to me and respecting my vision, doubts, and insecurities.

The speed of execution to deliver the work quickly was a differentiating factor compared to other professionals in this area I have worked with in the past.

For all this and much more that I could mention, I positively recommend Mr. Tocas for his professionalism, seriousness, competence, and willingness to deliver his best.
