I’m Bobby, the face and creative spirit behind Ayala Illustration. My artistic journey is a tapestry of passions, including design, acting, carpentry, and of course, illustration.

Drawing inspiration from a spectrum of sources — including surrealism, retrofuturism, architecture, and theatre — I aim to create illustrations that invite viewers into a captivating and joyful world. My creative process embraces automatism, allowing spontaneous sketches to evolve and come to life. These often showcase quirky characters and architectural elements.

Viewers frequently describe my distinctive style as clever and unique, marked by a playful cartoonish touch.

Outside of art, I’m a dessert-obsessed and coffee-drinking vegan, engaged to my best friend, and I have a soft spot for chihuahuas, especially the senior misfits out there. If I’m not illustrating, then I’m acting or teaching acting. You can find my actor website here: bobbyayalaperez.com.

If you enjoy my style and approach — I’m available for freelance work and commissions.
