WE ARE D’ART SHTAJIO
Founded in 2016 by brothers, Arthell and Darnell Isom, D’ART Shtajio sought to revolutionize the Japanese anime industry by introducing Westernized elements of art and storytelling to the Japanese standard of animation.
The word Shtajio is a play on words in both English and Japanese to reflect our commitment towards building a strong foundation centered on our artists and clients. 下地が大事(Shtaji ga daiji): “The Foundation is Important” is the original phrase that we seek to build on while conveying that we are a スタジオ(Sutajio): The Japanese word for Studio. Alternatively, we spell it Shtajio because of the kanji (下地) Shtaji which is used by the background artists here in Japan to mean – the underpainting, or foundation of art. Shtaji+Sutajio = Shtajio
Satisfied Clients
What clients say
Tinman Creative Studios
“Wanting to make an anime episode of Super Science Friends was very daunting, being based in Canada. We’d seen other North American studios try and fail to capture that indiscernible essence that makes something feel like an anime and were determined to not make the same mistakes. When we reached out to D’Art they were excited to work on the episode with us and generously guided us through the entire process. Splitting the scenes between their studio and ours was painless, and there were never any communication problems because the producer and director we worked with were originally from the U.S. In the end, we walked away happy with a damn legit looking anime!”
