I am a Chicago artist named KHIMERA. My work is a mix of inspirations derived from anime, music, and

skate culture and uses original illustrations, paintings, graphics, and design to unite those worlds. Much of my work involves working with music artists on album covers and visual artwork, then finding ways to bring those artists and their music into skate culture through skateboard graphics, merchandise, and other collaborations.

I want to get deeper into the music world, specifically rap and R&B, and help build a stronger bond

between hip-hop and skateboarding while creating work that feels authentic to the communities and cultures that molded me.
