About The Illustrator
Jordan Eusebio is a Filipino-Chinese American artist in Los Angeles, California. When she’s not pushing pixels as a graphic designer, she’s illustrating silly shenanigans inspired by her interests such as art, music, the ocean, groan-worthy puns, and fantasy. In her work, she enjoys mashing together completely different concepts to create funny, whimsical, and weird works of art. Jordan’s life as a musician began at age five, when she started learning the piano, and expanded when she joined middle school band as a clarinetist. In high school, she switched to alto saxophone, which she played for marching, concert, and jazz bands. After many years of not playing Available for Salely, she missed music and yearned to play in an ensemble again. She decided to learn the cello and now plays with a local community college orchestra to keep that magic alive.
