I’m DonCarlos. Artist, illustrator, designer. Been building my own thing outta Southern California for a minute. First big project was My Hip Hop Story . A children's book I put together with my high school buddy Gil. No blueprint. Just work. Since then, it’s been sketchbooks, canvases, deadlines, a few hits, and a whole lotta swing-and-misses.

Now it’s Smiley Face: Season One 2024. 365 drawings. No skipping. No shortcuts. Some pages clean, some ugly, all of them made with a smile. Drops June.
