I’m D Almeida or just D (as I like it most) and I have been a freelance final-art professional since 1997 for all kind of printing technique.

43-art.work replaces my previous name d-art.work. The 43 project had even been created before, in 2021, but it was initially dedicated exclusively to digital animation, so it ended up on the shelf for a while due to lack of time. Now, 43 replaces D definitively, taking on all the objectives of both projects.
The concept of 43 is numerology of an emotional and family nature – the sum of the two most significant dates of birth in my personal and spiritual evolution.

I’ve been a print professional – mostly screen printing, letterpress printing and offset printing, serving graphic standards manuals from Spain, France, England and Portugal.

I’ve been also an editorial designer for more than 15 years and a web designer since 2006 when flash websites were still dominant. After a few years developing in html5, I eventually surrendered to CMS – first Blogger, then Joomla, finally WordPress and always WordPress. 

Since 2020 I’ve decided to dedicate myself exclusively to the illustration activity, publishing my own artwork and using all my web technical knowledge in terms of my own online projects.

My artistic work ended up being very influenced by this activity as a final-artist for 25 years so that most of the artwork displayed on this website is about vectorized flat color models for application in any printing, reproduction or cutting technique. 

Thematically, my artwork is also deeply influenced by a more remote past as a Graham and Classical Ballet student as well as 7 years of musical education that intensely covered about 12 years of my life, from childhood to majority.

I’m a big fan of all arts and an enthusiast for sports, mother Nature and technology. This website intends to be not only a place for publishing and selling my artistic work, but also for sharing some technical knowledge and inspirational matters through the Blog. 

Thank you for stopping by, welcome to 43-art.work.
