It is unfortunate that talented artists, illustrators and other representatives of the art world are often so modest and reserved. On the one hand, this is understandable, because his work speaks best about the author. But from the point of view of acquaintance with the personality of the author, this is a rather big minus. Well, let's try to turn a minus into a plus using the example of our today's author, the Portuguese illustrator Antonio Joao Santos.
This 30-year-old young man does not yet have his own website, so he places all his work in online gallery under the pseudonym toinjoints. And I must admit, quite interesting work. Not philosophical, no, just very funny, although sometimes a little sad …
Sad little men with glasses, lonely girls and boys, heavenly bodies, forest and domestic animals - all these are elements of the drawn world, created by the hand of Antonio Joao Santos. And maybe these pictures are far from the masterpieces of world art, they have already found their niche and admirers among people who are fond of everything interesting and extraordinary.

People from pieces of anything. Mosaic collage from the Italian Antonio (village9991)
No surname, no detailed biography, no carefully recorded creative path - only the name, Antonio, and the pseudonym village9991, by which this author is better known in the art world. That's all there is to know about this character. Well, besides the fact that he is the author of stunning collage paintings, for which he uses any available material, be it newspaper and magazine editorials, shards of stained glass, pieces of tile, and even scraps of American currency
