Regardless of the medium, you will find the modern architectural styling of Daniel Chavez in everything from the tattoos of his clients to the murals he creates. After many years in the building industry, he continues to expand his reach into various facets of the art and design world. Daniel is now breaking into the fashion industry with his own unique clothing line under the name, vdv. The brand combines the elegance of fashion photography and combines it with modern architectural elements in both screen printed and sublimated clothing.
Growing up in the once diverse streets of Denver’s Highland and Sunnyside neighborhoods, Daniel has now made DCM a permanent fixture in the community. He continues to promote interdisciplinary design within tattoos, murals, fashion, fine art, graphic design, furniture design and architecture. The belief that true artistry is derived from innovation married with creativity fuels Daniel’s work and has earned him numerous sponsors and partnerships. The desire to innovate rather than perpetuate another’s creation or trend is what keeps DCM moving toward creating timeless and classic works of art.

Daniel Chavez was born and raised in the Sunnyside neighborhood of Denver, Colorado who had expressed an interest in art from a very young age.

Elliott, in 2006 producing architectural models for clients such as president of the Denver Art Museum, Lotus Entertainment Nightclubs and numerous custom furniture pieces.
