Angelo Dolojan is an illustrator and artist based in Chicago. His style is a composition of gestural lines, shapes and textures, drawn together to develop characters within their environment driven by stories. He works with mostly graphite, pastel and pencil on paper as he explores themes of the mundanity of the human condition through still lifes and portraits. He has worked with a list of international clients across the creative fields of editorial, advertising, and publishing. He was born and raised in the Philippines and spent time in California before residing in Chicago. When he is not working, he enjoys traveling and navigating busy cities and learning about their people by sitting for hours in their coffee shops.
