THE DAYJOB SERIES
...is my first limited-edition print drop, and it was born out of an overwhelming urge to create freely, truthfully, and passionately. I am an avid lover of vintage editorial design, film, video games, anime, fantasy and sci-fi, and wanted to give my favorite characters the intentional worship and fine-art-treatment they deserve.
RY MALENA
I'm a storyteller, illustrator, designer, animator, filmmaker, and anything else I have to be in order to get the story across. People (including myself) don't normally know what to do with you when you pursue more than one thing, but I'm one of the many kids who was born into a world where you could learn anything and everything if you had access to the internet, and was just too damned hyped on too many things to be able to settle on one medium.
I animated my Cyberpunk short film 'PEOPLE PERSON' using the same techniques I use in all my illustration work, with an emphasis on real human reference, sharp blocky shapes, and obsessive, emotional close-ups.
I'm intensely passionate about character and world, and if you enjoy dreaming, visualizing, and immersing as much as I do, know that there will always be a place for your human creativity and divinity in the coming explosive evolution of our species.
Follow my Instagram and animation studio to keep up with my latest quests!
Until then, stay passionate, stay honest about what you want most out of this life, and stay endlessly curious about your literal super powers.
