Chris, Welcome to Your IndisCover Interview!

Hailing from Fresno, where'd you spend your days before stepping into the creative realm?

Chris: Born and raised in Fresno, I've bounced around a bit - Santa Cruz, Chicago, Sacramento, but as a magnet for home, I somehow always find my way back here.

Care to share your education background?

Chris: I'm an alumnus of Sunnyside High School, then I honed my skills at the Universal Technical Institute in Sacramento.

Anime and superheroes seem to be your main muse – can you walk us through your artistic style?

Chris: I passionately create art centering around western superheroes and anime characters – a heavy emphasis on early 2000s anime styles in my fan art. During my streaming sessions, which educational in nature, I delve into traditional fundamentals for precise techniques.

Your artistic journey has focused on various mediums – which ones are you partial to and why?

Chris: As a traditional artist at heart, I prefer working with alcohol inks and brushes, yet I also indulge in digital artwork—especially with client work for its versatility.

Artist for 12 years – did you always envision taking this creative path?

Chris: Not at all! Prior to my artistic endeavors, I worked as an auto mechanic for years and found myself craving a change. Drawing at the age of 25 opened a whole new world for me, and I knew I wanted to leave the automotive field behind.

Where can admirers of your work buy your art?

Chris: My artistic creations are available online at ccayco.storenvy.com and at conventions in the flesh.

Mystery lurks behind your early sales ventures – considering this is your first time selling at Ani-Me Con, what excites you most about it?

Chris: Ani-Me Con, being a local convention for me, has a special place in my heart. Partner that with avoiding expensive traveling costs associated with other shows, and it all adds up to a fantastic weekend of connecting with fans!

What kinds of pieces are you planning to showcase this year?

Chris: As an anime-focused convention, I'll primarily bring artwork that aligns with this theme. Each show demands a unique approach from artists, so concentrating on anime art guarantees a great response.
