McCartney Ibanez is a comic artist working in illustration, digital art, ceramics, and graphic design. His ceramic and digital dioramas are revolutionary stories of friendship and resistance to the corporatization of public space and self-determination. Working in the traditions of Disney and Schulz, Ibanez sculpts and draws characters that are awkward, innocent, confident, and mythical. His stories are lessons that those who stick together can overcome prejudices and injustice, indeed all forms of adversity. Ibanez aspires to work in character design and has exhibited his work with the DH Arts Collective, and was the president of the Anime Club at CSUDH (2019-2023).
