Hi, I'm Kelso!

​

I'm an illustrator and graphic designer based out of Iwakuni, Japan. I graduated from Flagler College with a B.A. in Fine Art, and a double minor in Illustration and Art History. Ever since I was a child, my art has been heavily inspired by my love of manga and anime, and my passion for nature and environmental conservation. Though most of my illustrations and design work is done in a digital format, I love the feeling of a pen against paper and prefer to work traditionally (ink and markers are my favorite). My favorite way to work is to allow myself to mindlessly doodle until I create something that I think has potential, then turning that into a refined drawing or design!

• 私は日本語を少し話せます。私は自分自身をゆっくり教える。
  I can speak a little Japanese. I'm slowly teaching myself.

• I am obligated to pet every single dog that crosses my path.
