E.J. Guo is a Chinese-American Virginia-based artist who specializes in several mediums, including charcoal, soft pastel, and digital illustration. Their works primarily focus on exploring various aspects of mental illness and identity, and often draw from their own experiences for inspiration. Balancing between gritty, objective realism and brightly stylized cartoon characters, E.J. combines their emotional struggles with fantastical elements to create an inescapable atmosphere and capture the darkness that lurks within the human experience.
