ABOUT

DECARL’S WRLD STARTED AS A PERSONAL ART PROJECT IN THE MIDST OF THE COVID PANDEMIC. I WAS STUDYING A DEGREE IN COLLEGE THAT I WAS UNINTERESTED IN, AND I KNEW I NEEDED TO EXPLORE MY PASSION BEFORE GRADUATING AND ENTERING THE “REAL WORLD”. SO AFTER ABOUT A MONTH OF DOODLING IN A SKETCH BOOK, I INVESTED IN AN IPAD.

EVENTUALLY, I CAME UPON THE IDEA OF A CRIMINAL CHARACTER WHO REPRESENTED THE STRUGGLE OF BEING OUR AUTHENTIC SELVES IN A SOCIETY THAT PROFITS FROM OUR SELF.

I TOOK THE LEAP OF FAITH BY STARTING AN INSTAGRAM PAGE IN JANUARY OF 2021 TO SHARE MY ART WITH THE WORLD. TO MY SURPRISE, MORE PEOPLE RESONATED WITH THE IDEA THAN I EVER COULD HAVE IMAGINED. I CONTINUED CREATING VARIOUS PIECES OF DIGITAL ART AND MERCHANDISE FOR A COUPLE YEARS WITH NO DEFINITE DIRECTION.

EVENTUALLY, THE CHARACTER SLOWLY EVOLVED FROM AN ARTISTIC METAPHOR INTO A BRAND. A SYMBOL FOR AUTHENTICITY. A REMINDER THAT IT’S NOT CRIMINAL TO BE

NOW, THE MISSION OF DECARL’S WRLD IS TO SPREAD POWERFUL INSIGHTS AND IDEAS, THAT HELP ME PROGRESS TOWARDS MY MOST AUTHENTIC SELF, THROUGH AUTHENTIC DESIGN. MY HOPES ARE THAT OTHER PEOPLE CAN FIND THEIR OWN VALUE WITHIN IT TO HELP THEM PROGRESS ON THEIR OWN JOURNEY.

SO, WELCOME AND THANK YOU FOR VISITING MY WORLD. YOUR SUPPORT MEANS THE MOST!
