About Maverick Lobo

IMG_20240305_115024_366[1]

I created Maverick Lobo as a result of wanting to embrace the early 00's Youth Culture I grew up in. I'm a Tony Hawk's Pro Skater kid (that golden era from 1999-2007), I grew up watching Digimon, listening to Ska-Punk, Rock, Pop-punk, etc., I wanted a character that really represented all the things I wanted to do but was too afraid of as a youth (More on that in the document link above).

Character-wise, Maverick is a cosmic werewolf - think werewolf but with the ability to be anywhere, any-verse, anytime. Generally, his time is spent at skateparks and making sure the tangent universe doesn't collapse but that's another story. Friendly, adventurous (albeit mischievous), and a talented daredevil, Maverick uses his gifts to entertain and lead those around him.

My Mission

As a dedicated creator, my mission isn’t simply content production (Been there, done that, didn’t take.) I aspire to curate an immersive experience where originality thrives, quality resonates, and consistency is something the viewer can be rely on. By weaving captivating narratives, fostering genuine connections with supporters, and embracing the flow of creativity, I aim to leave good memories on the hearts and minds of my audience.

My Vision

The vision under Maverick is to be a popular and well regarded creative platform and a source of inspiration to aspiring creatives looking to pursue a career with their passion. I want to push the boundaries of what’s possible through creativity and grit and to facilitate the next generation of creators with my work

My Values

Respect above all:

I will never put profit over people.

I will never lie to my supporters.

I will never disrespect those who show respect to me.

Honor

I will never intentionally bring dishonor to myself, my family, or my supporters.

Inspire, not tear down

The purpose of Maverick is to uplift those around him who want to be, not to tear others down.
