ART BY: JASON BALLESTEROS DE LEON

Art With Purpose, Made With Gratitude

I'm Jason B. de Leon, a Filipino-American artist, animator and photographer from Port Hueneme, California, serving Oxnard and Ventura County. I've enjoyed drawing, animating and photographing since the late '90s, from video-game interface art to tributes for the U.S. Navy Seabees my father served with. I'm grateful for the chance to make art that honors my faith, my family and service. Thank you for visiting. God Bless You.
