Jose Habana (shorthand for something a lot longer) grew up the first son of first generation Filipino immigrants. He came along and experienced the second rise of video games, stayed up late to watch old school anime, and bathed his brain in the contrasts of a world getting used to the Internet as "A Thing" - where anybody could be anything. With all of that in Jose's head, he dubbed it his life's mission to discover how to make COOL THINGS. This meant wandering the vast expanse of the Internet - cutting his teeth on the virtual Wild West, and walking the state of New York to find masters to teach him. Drinking it all in resulted in a style that incorporates Western and Eastern influences, a love of color, and a streak of wit to match. When you meet Jose, you'll find someone enthusiastic to talk about almost any subject that could come to mind - and maybe some that haven't. He hopes you'll join him on any number of adventures into the wild blue yonder.
