““But Where Are You Really From?” explores the illustrator’s mixed Bangladeshi/Filipino heritage through a series of illustrations showcasing ten artists from both sides portraying their lives before they became well known inspired by their works as a point of reference.”
Hello I'm Jehan!I am a illustrator that is based in the GTA. I specialize in digital and traditional art which I would consider myself to be a "tradigital" artist (which I found out recently that the formal word for that is probably multidisciplinary artist but I like the sound of tradigital artist better) as one who dabbles on both types of mediums I like the explore the different ways I can express art. The type of work I enjoy creating is illustrations with narratives to them and character design.My identity as a mixed raced woman of Bangladeshi/Filipino heritage is an important aspect of myself as an artist that I often have found myself make the main theme in my art which can be shown in my thesis which is an exploration of my mixed heritages through getting to know these artists from said countries.
