Jae Rendall (they/them)

Jae Rendall (they/them)

Jae is a new SF artist who mixes their love of anime and nature into dreamy, fantastical wildlife pieces. They play with bold colors and unique shapes to highlight the magic of the natural world. They’re loving the creative energy here and the people who stay true to themselves and show up for the arts.

Jj Chun

JJ is a rare hybrid of artist, engineer, and brand architect — someone who doesn’t just generate ideas but reverse-engineers them until they work. He thinks in systems: wax density ratios for lava lamps, UL certification pathways, airline loyalty optimization, and even the emotional dynamics of dating. Creativity for him isn’t casual; it’s iterative, calculated, and refined. He cares deeply about materials, process, typography, glow diffusion, and drying times — the invisible mechanics behind the magic. A few years ago, he divorced, moved across the country to San Francisco, came out, and rebuilt his life from scratch. That structural reinvention shaped him: he doesn’t fear discomfort and treats momentum as sacred. He thrives in community spaces — volleyball tournaments, festivals, Pride energy, collaborative art — yet he’s never just a participant. He designs the shirts, brands the team, builds the totem, and optimizes the itinerary. Entrepreneurial by instinct, he constantly asks whether something can be manufactured, elevated, or scaled — from café concepts to custom lava lamps and immersive installations. Emotionally perceptive, he notices subtle shifts in confidence, pacing, and energy, and is drawn to grounded self-possession and growth over perfection. He approaches his body, finances, travel, and career as systems to calibrate — from hormone resets to currency hedging. At his core, JJ is a world-builder: expressive, analytical, resilient, and intentional about shaping an external life that mirrors his internal evolution.
