Our Story

Art by Courage was named after a phonetic portmanteau of our names: Car(los) + Reg(ina) = Carreg = Courage.

After a decade immersed in research and data, we rediscovered the joy of art, reigniting the spark that had always been within us.

Our studio combines rigorous research with stunning visuals and compelling storytelling. Our mission is to simplify technical concepts through illustrations and graphic novels, making complex ideas accessible and engaging.

  • Carlos is a talented illustrator and storyteller, known for his intricate graphic novels and immersive landscapes. His work has been featured at comic conventions, Webtoon, and Small Press Expo. When not working on a project, he enjoys modding video games and brewing the perfect cup of coffee. Driven by a passion for world-building and soulful storytelling, Carlos is always open to new projects and discussions.

  • Regina is an illustrator known for her vibrant, painterly art style that brings characters to life. Her work has been featured in artist alleys, the public library, and art galleries. Often found sipping bubble tea and drawing inspiration from stories around her, Regina is driven by a mission to create art that tells compelling stories and fosters human connections. Reach out for commissions, collaborations, or just to chat about art with her!
