Hello, I am xocean alexandre, I am a Visual Artist specializing in illustration, graphic design, fiber arts, and performance. I have used these skills to create installations and performances all over the US including Baltimore, NYC, Austin and San Fransisco.
As a freelancer, I have written and illustrated children's books (which are still in preproduction). I have created logos, infographics, stop motion films, zines and custom archival prints just to name a few.
I have built and run 3 businesses. The First was 'The Dandy Vagabonds' 2011-2018. This was a creative collaboration with my (former) partner. We were performers & installation artists. Within this role I was a creator, performer, costume designer, PR Manager in charge of Newsletters, grant writing, emails and well beyond.
My next business, as a soloprenuer was to be a freelance Graphic Designer 2011-ongoing. This work has fallen under many names, but got rebranded as 'xocean alexandre' in January 2023. As a freelance graphic designer, I have had the honor of creating zines, flyers, custom art, and so much more.
The next business I built was 'IndigoMoonArtist' 2018- ongoing. Under this role as a solopreneur, I am an Astrologer, facilitator, artist, social media manager, newsletter writer and so much more! Within this role I have given over a thousand astrology readings, I have led workshops and retreats and several month-long classes.
