Lee Juaso
The diabolical introvert you see today only exists to make dope work without burning out. The goal is iconic designs like the Melanin, Black love, and Greatness collections. If there is illustration, careful attention is paid to composition, shapes, and colors. This efficiency allows time for creating manga and anime creatively sourced by you. Check my instagram!
