AJ, a freelance illustrator from North Texas, discovered their artistic passion at a young age, drawing inspiration from childhood favorites like The Lion King and RPGs such as Fallout and Final Fantasy 7. After refining their skills at the School of Visual Arts in NYC, AJ now calls Pittsburgh, PA home.
Their artwork is a reflection of their connection to nature and animals, a passion cultivated since youth. Outside of art, AJ finds inspiration in writing and post-punk music, piles of books, Star Trek, taking care of their animals, and being an ESL tutor and volunteer. Their journey as a cancer survivor has only strengthened their resolve, shaping both their personal and creative pursuits.
AJ is currently represented by the Poster Posse.
