Justin You — character design & illustration for animation, games, and print, online as @jiansketch. Based in New York City.
Street walls and sketchbooks got me into art: bold lines, loud colors, characters with attitude. I studied illustration at the School of Visual Arts.
My work pulls from graffiti, album covers, animation and video games. Whatever the job, I want it to speak loud without saying a word.
Open to full time, contract and freelance work.
