Welcome to Syndromation!

My name is Gen Chandler. I’ve been doing drawing creations, like forever. I used to do normal drawing pictures, before I learned how to become a better artist. I also used to just color in coloring books. Now that I got the skill after watching the movie, “Lilo and Stitch,” which was something that might have taught me how to draw better. I used to always get in the habit of doing real creations, until now that I got to do the “manga” creations, that’s when I slowly got the new creative activity in making my new life’s work, “Chibi Teen Life,” and also sometimes make the character creations look real, in Japanese style.
The way I now usually draw myself, and same with everyone else, in chibi form, meaning they’re small and cute, I mostly got the idea from the video game, “Pikmin”, and in a similar way based on “Hello Kitty”.

I call my real drawing and comic style work, “Chibi Teen Life”, the creative work I mostly do.
Before I made my working style the mane, “Chibi Teen Life”, I used to create stories about three main characters, named Grannie, Sid and Katie. I designed them as a young-looking granny and two grandkids, with super powers, and live up in the sky.
For some reason later, I moved on, and started doing creations about me, and what goes on in my life too…

I have an art exhibition of my work called Syndromation at the A. Wilfred John's Gallery in the MacLaurin building at the University of Victoria! The show runs until April 30 and I hope you can see it.




I was interviewed by Adam Sawatsky of A Channel. I drew some pictures of him.

Here are more of my pictures-


I will put more pictures and some stories in here so come back soon!
