Bio:
Born in Brooklyn, New York, Joann Nunez is currently based in New Jersey. Growing up, she wrote stories like her older sister, but she found her own way of creating stories through other mediums, painting, drawing, and digital illustration. Her art education began in her sophomore year at Bayonne High School, and in her senior year she was awarded, Fine & Performing Arts Art Achievement Award. She continues at New Jersey City University as an illustration major. She writes and illustrates her own stories taking inspiration from cartoons she watched as a kid and gothic fashion trends from the 1990s.Statement:
The main tool that I use is Procreate on iPad to create digital illustrations. I would describe my style as semi-realistic with cartoonish features. My process begins with naming my characters; by this point I have an idea of how I want them to look. For each of my characters, my goal is to have diversely unique looks. When I am writing or creating a story, I look for inspiration from media that I’ve enjoyed growing up like Scooby-Doo: Mystery Incorporated.
As a storyteller, my goal is to bring my characters to life. I enjoy experimenting and drawing them in different situations, while also building a world around them. I aspire to create characters that feel real and grounded in their environments, whether that be through diverseness, uniqueness, disabilities, etc., I want my characters to reflect the world around us. I base my ideas on horror/romance movies or shows that inspire me. I want my audience to feel engulfed into the world that I created. I hope that my work continues to inspire people and allows them to fully and freely be themselves. My goal is to create art and tell stories that capture the human experience through the lens of otherness.
