This, in essence, is my purpose in life.

I'm Jani P. Spencer - a.ka Pensir. My main occupations are writing and illustrating comics, graphic design, photography and rigorously studying philosophy

Visual art to me means capturing thoughts, emotions, and life wisdom of me and individuals around me, and re-expressing them metaphorically in a way that'll provide value for myself and countless generations after me. That is the guiding philosophy that informs almost every art project I start -specially my comics. While I was working on my B.A in philosophy, I created a handful of comics that combine philosophical concepts and my own, unique style in mostly B&W illustrations for comics.

When I'm not at the drawing board, you can often find me at one of the Public Libraries of Queens, at the studios of The Art Students League of New York, or the MTA's F-line.

While you're following my career, you can expect illustrations and comics, photographs of mostly landscapes, and the occasional comic strip about something interesting I witnessed while venturing in the streets of New York City.*

But most importantly, you'll receive frequent-ish updates on my 7-year old baby, which is a graphic novel series by the name of "Day with Hope" **.

*These comic strips will be published in the "Blog" -section of this website under the title "Dark Park"
