Who am I?

My name’s Jared Quong. Also known as Jiao across several reaches of the internet.

Who am I? Well I’m a guy with a lot of ideas and a passion for creativity, as well as a talent for art and design. I’m a concept artist and comic creator and I’m looking for opportunities that will allow me to pursue my dreams. Creativity has practically been engraved in my being since I first developed memory. Ever since then I've continued to pursue my passion for creativity and design and my portfolio here is a demonstration of my skill set.

My approach to an idea is always to put as much time, effort, and research into a given topic. For me it’s not just about drawing something that looks cool. I believe that exceptional artists breathe life into their craft as if it were their own child. My mission is to create high quality work that my customers can enjoy and immerse themselves into. I don’t just want to tell good stories, I want to build worlds full of culture, history, and life that also happen to contain good stories. I believe that one of the best ways to engage an audience is to present them with something that can practically disconnect them from this world. Whether it be a reflection of our own world or a world brewed from the deepest pot of our imagination. People should enter into our worlds and leave with years worth of experience.

When it comes to designing anything I always reference back to some of the greatest creative minds of our species such as Stan Lee, J.R.R Tolkien, George Lucas just to name a few. I believe it's important to learn from those who came before us and understand their successes, mistakes, as well as things they haven’t done.

I see life as a mountain. Some may stay at the bottom wishing to see its grandeur, some choose to climb it and reach a height that they are comfortable with, while a few others will aim for the top of the mountain. I’m one that aims for the top and I would more than love for you to join me in my quest.
