Howdy!

I'm Ethan Silva (instagram), the creator behind Bad Lucky Studio, based in Southern California. My passion for true crime, beer, comics, and the paranormal, along with my faithful dog Annie, fuels my work as a motion designer.

My journey began at 15, crafting MySpace graphics for local bands—some of which were even animated, and I’m happy to say those pieces have been lost to time (I hope). That evolved into illustration and design roles in the music industry until my short stint in the beer industry. After honing my skills at Pabst Brewing Co., I embraced the life of freelance. Several years of that and a lot of hard lessons learned, I decided to go for my dream of being an animator.

Bad Lucky Studio emerged from these experiences. Operating on the belief that something as simple as a letter can change our bad luck into something completely different — this is how every project is approached. We have to make our own luck in this world. I’m here to design it for you.
