I experienced my first World Cup from three different perspectives: as a fan, a volunteer, and a designer. Along the way, there were unexpected moments: from volunteering at the Fan Festival in Miami to watching Colombia’s elimination from a bar in Anchorage to returning to Hard Rock Stadium for the third-place match between England and France. Each part of the experience changed the way I looked at the tournament. I began to notice not only what happened on the pitch but also the people, spaces, uniforms, objects, and visual details that shaped the event around it. I brought those moments together in my latest blog post, The World Cup in Three Acts.

My blog about AI, uncertainty, and how to embrace it as an artist and illustrator is now live. This is not about replacing artists/illustrators/cartoonists. It’s about staying curious, critical, and creative in a moment where the tools and the rules are changing fast.

My journey through California has been nothing short of amazing. I set out to explore beyond my comfort zone, choosing California as my destination to traverse the vast landscapes of the United States.

🌟 I always had my eyes set on one of the world’s largest conventions, and the day finally arrived just a week before I headed to Las Vegas for another event of equal magnitude, but in a casino setting. (During that time, I worked for a casino video game company until the pandemic pulled me away from that exciting universe.)

⏱ The words “retro” and “vintage” are too generic and ambiguous. When someone says, “What a beautiful retro illustration…,” my response is: Excuse me? Which time period are you referring to?

Japanese Gaming Arcade: The video game culture in Japan is massive, and nowhere is it more immersive than in its arcades. On my first night in Shibuya, I was just looking to relax after a long day of exploring. That’s when I stumbled across Taito Station: a neon-lit wonderland packed with lights, music, and the kind of gaming experiences I’d never seen outside of Japan. I immediately realized this wasn’t just fun—it was a cultural phenomenon.
