☆ ABOUT ☆
Hello, my name is Monté Alfaro! I am a proud Mexican-Asian illustrator, designer, and small business owner with over 1,000 sales. I have served over 100 clients and currently run my entire business out of my home in Los Angeles. When I'm not drawing, I'm playing Baldur's Gate 3.

☆ INSPIRATION ☆
I am drawn to stories with a cast of colorful characters who manage to become lifelong friends, especially with heavily stylized characters (such as Kill La Kill). My work is inspired by Western character design and storytelling. Growing up in an unstable household, I was often alone and passed the time by making stories with crazy characters.

Other favorite series include My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Hades, and Smiling Friends!

☆ MY PRODUCTS ☆
The products are all designed and shipped by me. Paper and vinyl items, such as posters, sticker sheets, and t-shirts, are all made in-house. My keychains are manufactured overseas.
