Creator & Arranger of Art, Music, Words and Programs
I am a California artist, indie game developer, sound designer, and writer. This portfolio brings together over a decade of my creative life â original paintings, custom sculpted figures, 1,306 free retro game cartridge replacement labels, original soundtracks, and browser arcade games. If you're looking for my professional game development portfolio, technical experience, or want to discuss work opportunities and commissions, visit SpaceChakra.com or get in touch.
Begin with a small selection across illustration, custom figures, and game art. Explore the full original-art archive by category.
Each of these cartridge labels is a remaster I rebuilt myself, across more than five years. All 1,306 are free. Browse by console and download any label.
Listen to original video game soundtracks and soundscapes composed by Santiago Salvador for Brain Bludgeoner, Theseus VS The Minotaur, SharkOn!, and Jump Jax!.
Reflections and poetry preserved from Santiago Salvador's original notepad writings. Select a poem below to read:
we share the same light that shines down from heaven above
feel the same warmth that God gives us with love
faith is all I have to go on
alone or together we must be strong
like a tree or a plant we grow towards the sky
branch out in beauty and take part in this life
every moment a breath, every whisper a song
held in the arms of the truth that was here all along.
I am a creator and arranger of art, music, words, and programs. Based in California, I have spent decades exploring visual art, custom toy and figure customization (including award-winning Masters of the Universe pieces), independent video game development, and audio design.
Whether hand-restoring classic cartridge labels so vintage games stay alive for future generations, composing chiptunes and acoustic scores, or building interactive web experiences for SpaceChakra, I believe in making things with heart and sharing them with the community.
