// ARTIST STATEMENT

LB is a queer Asian-American/Native Hawaiian designer and illustrator whose practice bridges collaboration and research. They have worked alongside nonprofits, fellow artists, researchers, live musicians, and authors to explore new forms of artistic expression and social engagement.

As the founder of Loveless Press, LB has established a zinemaking praxis rooted in radical accessibility: each publication is freely distributed with the belief that art and information should belong to everyone. Their zines and artworks have been shared and exhibited across the United States and internationally, underscoring a commitment to creative freedom and collective exchange.

Drawing from the visual movements of the past, LB investigates their histories and cultural impact to reimagine aesthetics for contemporary audiences. Through deep research and exploration, they fuse analog and digital archives, bridging nostalgia with forward-looking energy to honor both present and future.

LB earned a Bachelor of Arts in Digital Technology and Culture, with an emphasis in digital design, from Washington State University.
