Summary

Orlando is a professional artist based in Los Angeles, California, born and raised in South Central LA. Growing up in a rough neighborhood, he often spent time indoors, where he discovered his love for drawing. He was heavily influenced by '90s and early 2000s cartoons and anime. Drawing Dragon Ball Z characters became his early version of figure drawing. Brainstorming original stories with his brothers sparked his love of world-building, while visualizing his friends’ ideas on paper cultivated his creativity. For as long as he can remember, Orlando has been driven by a deep passion for bringing characters and worlds to life, an instinct that continues to shape his reality today.
