Artist, designer, and photographer, Joseph Allen has always had a keen eye for visual aesthetic and story telling practices. These traits coupled with an entrepreneurial spirit has imbued Joseph to learn his craft through the delights of audience participation and cultivated hands-on experience in the field. Having self taught himself to draw from an early age with the principles of basic geometry; simple shapes began to take on more organic and linear interpretations. Over time, he would be instructed in the fine arts through private art lessons and would later find himself attending the Pasadena Art Center College of Design's 'Saturday High School' arts program. Here, he would be offered a well-rounded extra-curricular education focusing on such mediums as painting, drawing, and film.
During his time at the university level, he focused his attention towards film. Absorbing a heavy-handed dose of classes geared towards TV/Film production, the ins and outs of entertainment law, and relishing in the realm of screen writing, Joseph found the hands-on aspect of the creative process thoroughly enjoyable and something that he would carry with him for future endeavors.
As a result, a new found sense of of the artist re-awakening spurred him to take matters into his own hands and take on a challenge; one he knew he was destined to face. Craving a more hands-on, take- charge and in-charge position over his creative endeavors meant forming his own company brand. This would allow him to house and create a broad range of in-house ip's (intellectual properties), offer a variety of free-lance creative services, as well as develop "new, fresh, innovative, creative, and different" content at his discretion.
Using traditional and experimental techniques, Joseph's outlook on visual mediums would ultimately take on the unique phrase "artistic license." For the last two years, Joseph has taken the necessary steps to create what has become a journey of self-discovery and an on-going process of uncontained creativity across a platform of various mediums. With a palette of endless possibilities, Joseph has pushed his artistic pursuits even further, focusing his efforts towards a more "craftsman" style approach to his ip's.
Forming a self-made business from the ground up has been an adventure and rewarding accomplishment. Truly a process, it has ensured its legitimacy, presence, and the implementation of appropriate measures to ensure the validity and security of the brand.
It is with great pride that I welcome you to explore my world - KAIROO STUDIO.
