I'm Chrome— also known as Chromemonger on Twitter. I am an afro-boricua freelance artist located in the United States.

My parents had a healthy affection for Hispanic art and artists, books with works by Frida Khalo, Diego Rivera, Francisco Goya, and Diego Velázquez. But, with an older brother by ten years, I grew up watching the same shows he did, giving me early access to anime and comic books— both of which became early inspirations.

Growing up mixed race and black in america, I quickly realized a void in my favorite media involving any character or influence that doesn't pass the paperbag test. Junior year of High School, I decided to make stories of color my main focus, highlighting the cultures and people usually disregarded by Eurocentric art curriculums. I strive to knit the aesthetics of my ancestry and cultures more and more into my work— as personal projects as well as professional jobs.
