✧ HELLO ✧
I'm Jonathan, a self-taught designer and illustrator based in NYC.
I was born in Miami and moved to NY in pursuit of a career in the graphic design industry.
I taught myself how to draw through countless studies, from cartoons to realistic portraits. I began studying graphic design theory and software after being let go from my job at the start of the pandemic.
My biggest influnces come from various Japanese video games, dark fantasy aesthetics, and anime.
Other influences include brutalist design, rave + internet music culture, and y2k-adjacent styles.
I think the most impactful works of art are the ones that generate emotion in the viewer. My goal is to create works that grab attention, demand intrigue, and communicate stories.
