I recently stumbled across a few eye catching designs while on one of my favorite social network sites for Artists and I just had to drop the Artist a line. Miguel Duarte, of Tucson, Arizona is a very talented guy when it comes to rendering new ideas a concepts for consumer products. Here s what he had to say to a few questions we gave him.
The Wall Magazine (TWM): Where are you from?
Miguel Duarte : I’m from the hot, desert “hell” of Tucson, Arizona; but don’t worry its only a dry heat.
TWM: What school(s) did you attend (if any)?
Miguel Duarte: I went to college at the University of Arizona in Tucson, yes I am the shy type who was afraid to branch out of my little habitat. Even though I didn’t pursue or obtain an “artsy” or design degree, I’m looking forward to going back to college for Industrial Design.

When you think of places around the world to find Artists, cities like New York, Paris, and Tokyo come to mind. Certain places just have that type of atmosphere. I didn’t think twice about São Paulo, Brazil being a cradle for a art to play in.
