JOURNEY

Hey, it's AJ! 

Artist, Illustrator, content writer, and art educator based in Long Beach, California. Early on in childhood it was clear that the greatest source of joy in my life came from diving into the world of illustrative storytelling—the most obvious form being Japanese Manga! Since then I've dedicated a majority of my life into channeling my creative explorations into design projects that I proudly share with you all here!

As an artist, my passion and purpose is founded in exploring Anime and Pop Culture through drawing and design. The mediums by which I share with you are merely byproducts of my adventure!— and may come in the form of prints, pins, or even skate decks. 

This SHOP doubles as my digital portfolio, and every bit of support offered by you, allows me to expand my collection of creative projects to share back with you!

VISION

I believe it's important to carefully select what forms of media and subject matters get to inspire us. I love Anime and Manga, and use it as the battery to fuel my own creative endeavors. What I consider uniquely my own, is proudly a visual fusion and tribute to all my experiences exploring visual storytelling, anime, and manga art. 

PHILOSOPHY

Each day presents a new opportunity to explore different subject matters, drawing styles, and creative initiatives. While I spend most days polishing up illustrations, I also engage in video editing, content writing, and conducting educational broadcasts. I believe that we should all have a strong inclination towards accepting challenges that are conducive to personal growth and acquisition of new skills.

Venturing Forward

“Your art, illustrations, and performance, will improve with each and every iteration. Be excited to fail!”
