Founder / creativite director of {13} LAyers

"creativity has no limit"

Meet Paul Allstar, an extraordinary artist, designer, and animator who founded 13 Layers.  As a dedicated professional with over two decades of experience in the creative field, my primary focus is on producing high-quality content that showcases products and services across various mediums, including illustration, print, video production, and motion graphics. 

 My skill set encompasses a wide range of creative disciplines, from conceptualizing and storyboarding projects for print to creating identity and branding guidelines. I excel in scriptwriting for video productions, filming and editing video content, and crafting high-quality motion graphics. Additionally, I bring a unique perspective by creating instrumentals for videos and leveraging AI for generative art and video content. 

 I firmly believe in the transformative power of combining traditional art and design with cutting-edge AI technology. This synergy enables us to redefine narratives and achieve what was once deemed impossible or cost-prohibitive within shorter timeframes. My commitment lies in staying ahead of production trends and adopting future tools that not only expedite processes but also deliver top-notch quality in our fast-paced economy. 

Throughout my career, I have collaborated with renowned brands such as Google, Intel, Def Jam, Herbalife, McDonald's, and AAA. My work has contributed to notable campaigns, including All About The Arts, DPW Cleaner Greener, Visitors Bureau of Travel, and the San Francisco Olympic bid production to name just a few top brands known across the globe.

My experience extends to the educational sector, where I have partnered with Charter School organizations and the Oakland School District. This involvement includes diverse projects, from school redesign initiatives to citywide campaigns, showcasing my ability to create various print materials, from booklets to large-scale banners. 

 My work has received recognition from prestigious industry organizations, and I hold awards for projects in film, video, and print. As a contractor, I have honed skills to offer a comprehensive, one-stop-shop environment for clients, always adapting to emerging technologies and providing solution-based flexibility. 

 I am not only an exceptional artist, designer, and animator but also a team player who understands the importance of collaboration in fostering a creative environment. My passion for art, continuous learning, and mentorship reflects my commitment to personal and professional growth. 

In conclusion, I am enthusiastic about 13 Layers LLc and the opportunity to contribute my expertise with other companies and brands across industries. 

I am confident that my skills, experience, and dedication to pushing the boundaries of creativity and technology align seamlessly with your company's vision.

I look forward to the possibilities 13 LAyers will unlock  realted to Illustration, design, AI and Video production.
