About

Jupiter Kasler is a DMA student currently enrolled at SJSU. They have worked in many mediums, but have primarily found themselves drawn towards digital creation. Mostly Illustration and Video, but coding has proven to be an interesting and fun challenge for them that they plan to explore further in their art. Though they had no experience on coding prior to joining SJSUs DMA program, they have taken a liking to it. They are a fan of games like Celeste, Slay the Spire, and A Little to the Left.

The messages behind my art is about my own struggles as someone who is queer and neurodivergent. The feeling of not belonging, or the fears over the future that we all face. I also make art about fun or interesting concepts that I enjoy, like fantasy games, bright light, and paying other interesting artists homages. I want people to understand me, and art is the only way I have found people will listen. I wish people listened more. It's hard to live on what many people are seeing as the brink of collapse while having just started your life. Sometimes it seems like there is no way to go but down.
My ultimate goal, and what I am currently doing, is digital illustration, interactive exhibits, and game design. I would consider myself a multimedia artist with a concentration on digital art, design, and interaction. I find that I rubberband between serious art that comments on my struggle of being a human, dealing with life, being born in an unsure world, and sillier art that deals with current pop culture, concepts that I personally find amusing, and fun character designs or ideas. Each piece that is part of the portfolio represents either of these sides. Sometimes they are mixed together. I try to make my suffering either a little amusing or a good piece of art. This website was coded by me and uploaded to Neocities.
