Hi, welcome to my account. I’m B&B, and my work is tailored for those who love vibrant neon colors and bold, high-energy visuals inspired by early 2000s to 2010s aesthetics. I specialize in 2D and 3D character design, background design, 2D animation, and graphic design. If your eyes hurt while looking at my work, then I know I’ve done my job well.
The reason I chose Bozo the Clown as one of my personas is that, for a long time, he existed as a kind of online character while I explored communities where people role-played their own creations. I found it exciting and fulfilling to share a space with others who were expressing their creativity in that way—it was genuinely enjoyable.
I had already developed a rough idea of this persona, though I didn’t fully recognize him as one until I began reflecting on DoberDame. She started to feel less like a constructed persona and more like an expression of a specific side of myself—one that is highly fashionable and overtly feminine. That wasn’t a negative thing; she still carried elements of a masc, just not to the same extent as Bozo.
At first, I considered combining the two, since many people tend to maintain a single persona. However, that approach didn’t feel right. Trying to merge them meant losing too many of the distinct qualities that made each character unique. Instead, I chose to keep them separate but connected—two personas that represent different facets of who I am, while still belonging to the same whole.
As a side note, my husband already had his own character, and I convinced him to create a second one as well—so that each of our personas could be paired together.
DoberDame and Bozo the Clown are personas I created during my first year of college. At the time, I noticed that many artists had their own personas, and I wanted one as well—but I wanted mine to represent me in the most authentic and compelling way possible.
Initially, I experimented with different ideas that were essentially just variations of myself—changing outfits and appearances—but they didn’t feel like true characters. They lacked excitement and individuality; they were simply realistic depictions of me, which didn’t capture the spirit of what a persona should be.
DoberDame, however, developed in a much more organic way. She began as part of a sculpture project, where I set out to create a humanoid Doberman interacting with a large, husky-like character. The concept was meant to be playful and not taken too seriously, especially since the assignment was simply to design characters.
As I worked through the sketches and final illustrations, I found myself becoming deeply connected to the character. What started as a simple idea evolved into something much more meaningful—someone I could infuse with my own aesthetic, personality, and perspective. Because Dobermans have always been my favorite breed, I felt an even stronger connection to her.
The more I developed DoberDame, the more confident I became in embracing her as my persona. She grew into a defining figure—not just as a character, but as a representation of my identity and the foundation of the brand I wanted to build
