Hello and welcome to my website! My name is Shaun aka R.L. White and I’m an aspiring autistic illustrator and digital artist originated from Chicago with a DEEP love of comics, animation and fashion. I’m passionate about animation, a love that took me back from an early age drawing my grandmother’s wall to the art of animation. My interest is primarily in 2D medium concept art, mainly focus on character, costume design and visual development (environmental design)! During my free time, I enjoy creating stories and ideas and sipping iced coffee at various shops and cafes!
Seeking internship opportunities, part-time or full-time work
Please feel free to contact me through my email if you want to reach out about work opportunities, commissions or just say hi
