I WISH I WASN’T CREATIVE.
But I am, so unfortunately you’re stuck with me.
Hi, I’m Jaylen. But call me Neptune. Just kidding, nobody calls me that. (Maybe they should.) I’m an Art Director. I didn’t follow in my parents’ footsteps and join the Navy, which, now that I think about it, might’ve been easier than convincing a bunch of oat-milk-loving hipsters to give me a chance.
But no, I like to take the little visual hallucinations I see when I close my eyes and dabble with the dark arts to force everyone else to see them too. And unlike regular people, I actually like to learn the difference between kibble and a bit. (Shoutout Luke Sullivan.)
So here’s a trip into my sick, dark, twisted mind. Or just a sample of my work. You choose.
Oh, hi again. I bet you scrolled down here looking for an explanation on the whole Neptune thing.
Well, buckle up, pal.
I happen to be from the Drake-cosigned paradise of Virginia Beach, Virginia. And for some reason, someone decided to leave their pet King Neptune statue on our main boardwalk. So naturally, Neptune and his pointy death spear are something of an unofficial mascot for us.
But wait, get this: I am also ethnically Barbadian. And if you managed to pass fifth-grade geography, you know Barbados’ flag also features a celebrity appearance from a (this time broken) trident.
So basically, Neptune is my Slim Shady, my Sasha Fierce – except instead of signifying chaos or, uh… questionable life choices, he’s the personification of my creativity. Cool, huh?
