Avery is a first generation Chinese-American who has aspirations to become an illustrator in the future. Most of his time is spent trying to improve his digital painting as well as attempting to survive in school. But when he is not doing that, he can often be found raving furiously about story ideas in some corner of the world and screaming at the ice cubes in his water. Aside from being a complete disaster, you will find that Avery has a love affair with art history, specifically the Art Nouveau and Orientalist movements.
