"I am a storyteller...not just a writer or illustrator, but a visual artist. Like our early ancestors, it is my desire to tell our myths and lore, our triumphs and tragedies through images. If I am lucky, the stories I tell will hold meaning and carry a message in this world long after I am no longer a part of it."

–JP Rhea

I spent four years exploring the wonders of New York City, and had the privilege of freelancing as an art director/graphic designer for many high profile clients such as UNICEF, L'Oréal, Ogilvy & Mather, Pepe Jeans and The Wall Street Journal. I currently freelance as a visual artist, print and web designer and teach photography and design classes in Atlanta, GA. and yes, I am more than 18 years old.
