Hey, yo!

A man with dreadlocks and glasses smiling at a table with a glass of water, a smartphone, and a red beverage in a cafe with wooden walls.

Name’s Kenji, i’m a Jamaican PNW based artist. I’ve been drawing for about 8 years now and have lived in more places that I can count. Each place i’ve lived has given me an experience that’s helped me along the way.

What is my goals

My goal is to be a publish mangaka and illustrator. I am currently working on one long form project, and two one shots. The idea of this page and my social medias to give a transparent look into my journey along the way.

  • Being able to see myself live out my dreams

  • I am mainly self taught. My main sources of study are varying art book and sometimes online courses.

  • I do work conventions time to time and i will certainly announce it :)
