EMERGING ARTIST: ALEKONA SURENTO was born in Honolulu, Hawaii and raised in new York. Her father is a master airbrush artist and gave her her first pencil when she was 4. She always loved looking at cartoons so around the age of 16 she began to draw them. Her lil' caRToon character just happened one day about 8 years ago and in the last two years has taken on a life of his own.

“He has yet to acquire a name, he seems more extraterrestrial than anything to me. These paintings are my attempts at finding him a good nitch or groove to exist in.”
