Manny Pantoja (He/Him)
Traditional Artist
I am a visual artist, illustrator, and designer with a deep passion for storytelling through art. From a young age, I was captivated by the ability of illustration to bring characters, worlds, and emotions to life. Over the years, I have honed my craft across illustration, graphic design, branding, and printmaking, always striving to create work that is both visually compelling and immersive.
Beyond digital work, I have a deep appreciation for printmaking and traditional media, incorporating textures, layers, and handcrafted elements into my process. There’s something uniquely satisfying about the tactile nature of print—whether it’s screen printing, risograph, or block printing, I love experimenting with analog techniques that bring warmth and authenticity to my work.
Illustration is at the heart of everything I do. Whether through character design, world-building, or atmospheric compositions, my goal is to evoke emotion and transport viewers into a story. At LightBox Expo, I am excited to showcase my work, connect with fellow creatives, and celebrate the power of illustration, design, and printmaking. Thank you for taking the time to look over my application!
