ABOUT THE ARTIST

From Inspiration to Creation

Hello, I am Justin Munoz. I also go by TheJayster49 on social media. I am a multifandom digital artist who specializes in angular, UPA-inspired character designs and visual storytelling.

An artist drawing since elementary school with experience in both traditional and digital art forms. Although lacking in professional experience, I am a fast learner and developed skills mainly through personal projects. I also keep up to date with artist trends so that I may experiment even further with my expertise. I thrive to establish a career as a cartoonist, either working on my own or being an asset to a creative team.
