Joselyn De La Torre: I began drawing when I was very small, I was never a perfect artist at the beginning. I was mostly criticized by art teachers, until I got into high school where I got most recognition. Throughout the years, I started to develop my own art style and I began to study different art medias from traditional to digital. Ever since I was a toddler, I loved to watch cartoons and anime so it became a hobby of mine to make fanart. Now, I create comics, illustrations, animatics, fanarts, and anything that I could create with my own imagination. I had so much support from my parents and siblings which helped me get motivated to improve my work. So thanks to them, I am here now and I hope to inspire future artists.

Five decades on this planet and I’ve done quite a bit. Bassist (and occasional singer), songwriter, comic book creator, animator…but I think my real claim to fame is that I’ve done a lifetime’s worth of work in fields that no longer matter: Video store clerk, Newspaper advertiser, Flash programmer…I’m constantly in pursuit of a job that won’t become obsolete eventually…not sure what or when exactly that’ll be. Heck, death may be passe by the time I get to it.
