THIS GUY HERE...
Aloha! My name is Jubei, but my friends call me "Bei" (pronounced like "Bay"). Born in Hawaii, I grew up in the 80's and developed a huge affinity for pop-culture, music, arcade culture, and film visual effects from that time period.
This shows in the spirit of my work as I am always trying to have fun, but push the boundaries of visual effects paired with my surreal style of composite photography. I enjoy having a unique perspective merging my imagination with my skills in digital imaging.
I also might be slightly obsessed with ninjas.
EDUCATION
I graduated High School in 1996, taking with me national and state awards for editorial illustration. I had dedicated myself to music (Band Nerd) and being creative (drawing on my book covers).
Before Photoshop was a the industry standard, I was doing digital art on Black & White Macintosh computers via MacPaint, and designing print work via PageMaker, the precursor to Adobe InDesign.
​
My 10 year career in the Air Force taught me several things, but Photography and Design became my main functions. I loved it!
​
Making Texas my home in 2006, I attended the Art Institute of Dallas, pursuing a degree in Interactive Media and Video Production.
​
Always seeking new techniques in digital art, I continue to teach myself new software and methods. This means keeping up with latest design trends, education on updates, and attending design conferences such as Adobe MAX.
MILITARY CAREER
As a hydraulics system journeyman in the Air Force, I spent a lot of time overseas in counties as; Saudi Arabia, Oman, Turkey, France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Scotland, Canada, Guam, Greece, Holland, and Iceland.
I have experience with aerospace engineering, hydraulics, avionics, and aircraft fuel systems.
Although I originally entered the military as an aircraft maintainer, my talents quickly shifted my to a career to journalism, photography, and illustration.
My photography and illustration work literally spans the globe. And I am thankful to the military for giving me a worldly and artistic perspective from so many different cultures.
