Following his graduation in 1999, MBSJQ embarked on a fulfilling career as a Graphic Designer, rising from a Junior position to ultimately becoming a Creative Director. Over the span of more than a decade, he spearheaded teams of up to five designers, embracing the myriad challenges of the design industry. However, a pivotal moment arose in 2014 during a film shoot at a race track, catalyzing MBSJQ's courageous transition into freelancing.

This decision, albeit daunting, proved immensely rewarding. Freelancing granted Jonathan the freedom to pursue his artistic vision while maintaining a balanced work-life equilibrium. As his freelance career flourished, MBSJQ ventured into self-teaching 3D art in 2017, seamlessly merging his Graphic Design proficiency with newfound 3D skills to create a harmonious blend of surrealism and realism. Subsequently, MBSJQ was invited to join the prestigious H+ Creative Agency based in LA, enabling him to further refine his vibrant style and collaborate with leading global brands.

In 2020, MBSJQ delved into the world of web3/NFTs, channeling nearly all of his time into crafting personal works that seamlessly intertwine surrealism with automotive themes.
