Hey there! I’m KuriboShoe, also known professionally as Antonio Lyons Jr.

I’ve been an aspiring visual artist for as long as I can remember (since around age 7), and I’ve been working professionally in art for the past 5 years.

I’m always exploring new creative mediums, but my main focus is on digital illustration, animation, and graphic design. Whenever I’m working in one of these areas, I find myself completely locked in, relaxed, focused, and fully immersed in the process.

Over the years, I’ve learned and experimented with a wide range of programs. Here are some of the tools I currently use or am continuing to learn:

Adobe Animate, Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, Blender, Drawpile, Audacity, Adobe Premiere, Kleki, Aseprite, and Scratch

If you couldn’t tell, I spend a lot of time on my computer (probably more than I should), but I also love working traditionally. I regularly sketch and draw on paper and have filled countless notebooks and binders with ideas, concepts, characters, stories, and random scribbles.

My ultimate goal is to become a cartoonist and comic book artist, bringing my ideas and characters to life through visual storytelling.
