Armed with zero formal art training, a laptop full of online tutorials, and boxes of acrylic paint arriving on my doorstep, I began experimenting. No rules, no pressure—just thick, bold color pushed across canvas. The Evolution What began as a lockdown distraction quickly turned into a passion. My early pieces captured the innocence and nostalgia of post-WWII American life—vintage hi-top sneakers, classic lawn chairs, and mid-century relics that sparked happy memories during a quiet time. Over the years, that impulse has evolved into a distinct style defined by heavy impasto texture, clean geometric backdrops, and a signature blend of vintage charm and Western spirit. Today, my subjects range from classic American icons to dapper wildlife portraiture—antlered, horned, and all dressed up with a nod to traditional heritage and a touch of modern whimsy. The Vision Whether I’m painting an imposing elk or a timeless piece of Western gear, I’m drawn to the contrast of thick, expressive knife work set against sharp, structured design. I hope my work evokes a sense of story, a sentimental smile, and a fresh appreciation for the legendary characters of the West. https://www.davidcostaart.com/store daily 0.75 https://www.davidcostaart.com/store/p/ol-blue-eyes monthly 0.5 2026-06-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f24e71a785e5f07c605f4fd/9c2b8441-6309-4166-ab8a-820f126e9f80/IMG_6672.jpeg Store - Ol' Blue Eyes - IMG_6672.jpeg https://www.davidcostaart.com/store/p/head-banger monthly 0.5 2026-06-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f24e71a785e5f07c605f4fd/f1efe9a2-275d-45e6-89d9-202fefe7846c/Unknown-2.jpeg Store - Head Banger - Unknown-2.jpeg https://www.davidcostaart.com/store/p/deer-creek monthly 0.5 2026-06-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f24e71a785e5f07c605f4fd/37239474-444b-4848-8bd3-11f67e68b50f/Deer+Creek.jpg Store - Deer Creek - Deer Creek.jpg https://www.davidcostaart.com/store/p/johnny-sagebrush-1 monthly 0.5 2026-06-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f24e71a785e5f07c605f4fd/bf2d834a-4089-49d7-b6cf-cdd70cb8496e/Johnny+Sagebrush.jpg Store - Johnny Sagebrush - Johnny Sagebrush.jpg https://www.davidcostaart.com/store/p/johnny-sagebrush monthly 0.5 2026-06-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f24e71a785e5f07c605f4fd/bf2d834a-4089-49d7-b6cf-cdd70cb8496e/Johnny+Sagebrush.jpg Store - Johnny Sagebrush - Johnny Sagebrush.jpg https://www.davidcostaart.com/store/p/badlands-bison monthly 0.5 2026-06-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f24e71a785e5f07c605f4fd/5c0f814e-71e0-4d1e-be3c-5b61779e222a/IMG_6652.jpg Store - Badlands Bison - IMG_6652.jpg https://www.davidcostaart.com/portfolio daily 0.75 2026-08-19 https://www.davidcostaart.com/portfolio/project-one-f5w4d-z9nem-s3jda-x8w73-c92rk-d78xb monthly 0.5 2026-08-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f24e71a785e5f07c605f4fd/7b892e64-08de-4c35-afb6-539b95913346/IMG_6668.jpeg https://www.davidcostaart.com/portfolio/project-one-f5w4d-z9nem-s3jda-x8w73-c92rk-d78xb-th7ha monthly 0.5 2026-08-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f24e71a785e5f07c605f4fd/f1309126-a1f3-482a-b6a2-67203891f023/Badlands+Bison.jpeg https://www.davidcostaart.com/portfolio/project-one-f5w4d-z9nem-s3jda-x8w73-c92rk-d78xb-th7ha-s7s9s monthly 0.5 2026-08-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f24e71a785e5f07c605f4fd/5bc34a04-3910-4198-8a9c-bd35b45d06eb/Johnny+Sagebrush.jpeg https://www.davidcostaart.com/portfolio/project-one-f5w4d-z9nem-s3jda-x8w73-c92rk-d78xb-th7ha-s7s9s-rw35s monthly 0.5 2026-08-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f24e71a785e5f07c605f4fd/c1c98df6-d19a-4baa-abae-e40d1809cb16/IMG_6631.jpeg https://www.davidcostaart.com/portfolio/project-one-f5w4d-z9nem-s3jda-x8w73-c92rk-d78xb-th7ha-s7s9s-rw35s-5csgf monthly 0.5 2026-08-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f24e71a785e5f07c605f4fd/f90fccfa-b09e-408c-8d84-15f87364c35c/Head+Banger.jpeg https://www.davidcostaart.com/dapper-dressed-for-the-west daily 0.75 2026-08-19 https://www.davidcostaart.com/dapper-dressed-for-the-west/project-one-f5w4d-z9nem-s3jda-x8w73-4kb9g monthly 0.5 2026-08-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f24e71a785e5f07c605f4fd/4a67c314-3fbb-4348-9083-a9ec6487846b/IMG_7432.jpeg https://www.davidcostaart.com/dapper-dressed-for-the-west/project-one-f5w4d-z9nem-s3jda-x8w73-4kb9g-l48x3 monthly 0.5 2026-08-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f24e71a785e5f07c605f4fd/2f43cb52-b1fd-4074-9b76-fe57bf6ad483/IMG_7473.jpeg
