Daniel Dos Santos, born in 1978 demonstrates fine artistic abilities remarkable for an artist of
any age. To see it in one so young is extremely rare. Already a highly respected young adult
science fiction illustrator, Dos Santos works with Scholastic Books, Inc. and Tor Books. During
his last year of high school, Dos Santos took a Careers In Art class. The class required an
internship. Dos Santos was fortunate to land his internship with internationally recognized
illustrator and landscape painter Steven Stroud. After graduation from the School of Visual
Arts in New York City in 2000, Dos Santos and Stroud set up a studio in Shelton, Connecticut
in a historic 100 year-old factory. Early in 2001, Dos Santos began to explore figurative
painting that led to several portrait commissions. Dos Santos finds that the classic painting
style of figurative painting is a welcome balance to his expressive science fiction illustrations.
Daniel graduated from the School of Visual Art, NYC. He was a recipient of the Rhodes Family
Award for special achievement in illustration in 2000, as well as the Starr Foundation Award
for 2001. He work has been reproduced as posters for the School of Visual Arts and the
Society of Illustrators. Daniel’s work is included in the permanent collection of General Electric.
