Concept Artist based in Los Angeles, California. His art work has best
been described as "Highly Cinematic" and "Ultra-Realistic," it can be
seen in many fields such as, Film, Fashion/ Apparel, Music Videos,
Advertising, Real Estate, just to name a few.
Inspired at the young age of 5, Drew developed an appetite for the arts to bring form to his already emerging creativity and budding imagination. He began his journey to capture not only the magic, but the method behind the comics, films, and animation programs which enchanted him as a child.
At his local high school, Drew was awarded a scholarship to attend 'The Ryman Program for Young Artists' after winning a regional-wide art contest at the age of 16. The weekly program was held at the University of Southern California (U.S.C.) campus within the Fine Art Department by several elite artists. It was through this program where Drew received a life-changing mentorship from many acclaimed professionals, whom worked closely with him to nurture his gifts and further his understanding of the theories and methods of illustration.
Drew was accepted to many of the best art schools in California, however, college was unattainable for him financially. Instead of quitting on his dream of becoming an artist, he created the internet nickname of 'Maijin the artist,' adopted a doctrine of self-education, and began schooling himself to enhance his skill-set as an illustrator. After a few years of hard work and dedication, he started receiving offers to work on projects in the entertainment, fashion, publishing, and media industry.
