Hello, everyone! I’m Doy and I was born in Quezon City, Philippines! I’ve traveled a lot and have always had love for art. I’ve been drawing since I can remember, learning techniques and foundation from my father. I moved to Vancouver in 1986, and have called it home ever since.
In 2015 I began my tattoo journey. I met Velma and have considered her a very good friend and excellent guide as one of the senior artists I’ve known throughout my career. I have a background in pencil portraits, comic book art, anime and manga, and sketch style. I range from minimalistic style, floral composition, Asian art, black and grey, to bright watercolors and full colored illustrative pieces. I only hope to add more to my skill set and look forward to growing more with Arboretum Studios and you!
