Sean Mulkey was born in San Diego, CA and raised in Albany, GA. At the age of 5, he discovered his ability to draw, and throughout the remainder of his youth, he explored many creative avenues until eventually painting became his primary vessel of expression. Throughout his creative journey, he’s developed an interest in point-of-view perspectives accompanied by many forms of architecture. These attributes soon became the fabric of his signature art style, which he would considerably label as “urban/environmental contemporary art.” His perspective style and attention to details turn passerby spaces into rich areas for the audience to explore, play, and utilize their imagination however they see fit. The story is being told through the viewer’s experience.
His work has been featured in art galleries and festivals in major hubs such as Atlanta, Miami, and New York. In addition, his work has also been featured in various music videos, short films, novels, and album covers. At DaBoiis House, Sean brings his unique set of skills to a digital medium to create beautiful and elaborate backgrounds and settings to set the pace for the characters to engage.
Ahmad Jones was born and raised in Georgia. He got into animation after being inspired by cartoons that he saw on Cartoon Network / Adult Swim, such as Samurai Jack, Venture Brothers, and Justice League, and by video games such as Tekken and Crash Bandicoot. He eventually decided to take the leap into making art after beings inspired by his brother and late uncle, who are artists themselves. Creativity runs in his family, and they were supportive of whatever career he chose. This led him to study at the Savannah College of Art & Design, graduating in 2021. At SCAD, he sharpened his skills just for a chance to make an impact in the industry. He aims to create projects that are funny and entertaining, like the ones that inspired him.
