About the Artist
Welcome everyone! I’m Runaway Goldfish (They/Them), a self-taught, Filipino, watercolor/digital artist obsessed with an aquatic aesthetic and the creative director of the animated short, "G's Way or the Freeway" and the G Universe (now available on Youtube).
Throughout my career, I’ve designed a variety of my own products and have been commissioned to do a diverse selection of graphic work including logos, posters, stickers, apparel, signage, window paintings and book covers. I’ve also illustrated two children’s books, my own comic book, a series of bonsai paintings extracting color from Pu Erh tea, and a manga inspired comic (which is currently in the works).
Outside of creating, I’ve taught art and animation for Phenomenal She, volunteered for community events and murals, and participated in markets and gallery shows across the PNW including Vancouver, Canada, Seattle and Portland (Click here to see my list of shows, markets and other experience).
Growing up as a geek, I was heavily influenced by the worlds of comics, video games, film, street art and folklore. As a resident of the greater Seattle area, my passion for aquatic aesthetics comes from my love for our environment and its waterways and I hope through my art, I can inspire mindful habits to better our community the same way others have inspired me.
