>> Hiya! I’m a (mostly) self taught traditional and digital artist based in Southern California currently pursuing further study into Illustration and Printmaking. I’ve done screenprinting and sticker designs for about 2 years, and have done digital and mixed media since 2012. Some of my favorite works come from random funny moments in my life, and customized illustrations inspired by different fandoms.
>> I love making art that derives from deep thought, but also random fleeting moments that bring laughter, comfort, and joy. This comes from a long love of being an enthusiast of comics, manga, anime, video games, and 2D animations, and wanting to make art that my generation and future generations can find some joy and comfort in, and inspiration to go out there and find out who you are and do your best in what you do. I’m a night owl with the worst sleep schedule, but also knows how to make some good coffee (despite being a tea lover).

= About =

>> being free is being happy without expectations and learning how to look at the world with wonder again.

My work is a mix between traditional and digital drawing mediums for illustration and printmaking, leaning more towards bold, graphic line art.Growing up in a relatively traditional household, there was always this rigid expectation to be more than myself at the expense of losing the things I loved or made me myself. And now, at 23, I'm unlearning the lessons that conformed me to be a vessel to someone else's dreams and learning how to simply be happy with being enough and doing things for the sake of enjoying life. Being jus.okei.My work is a reflection of my own journey in self discovery, and learning how to heal my inner kid and navigate my mental wellness as a young adult. My goal as an artist is to empower others to live life on their own terms-- no matter what stage of life you are at --and challenge the generational traumas, standards and prejudices of their communities to be their most authentic selves.
