OUR STORY

Hey, I’m Braden Vowles! I’m a 26-year-old artist, designer, and storyteller, born and raised on Vancouver Island. I studied 3D Animation and VFX, diving deep into the world of digital art, visual effects, and character design. But really, my love for creating started way before that—probably around the time I saw Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man swing across the big screen for the first time. That movie (and the sequels) cemented my love for superheroes, storytelling, and the kind of art that brings larger-than-life ideas to reality.

With over eight years of experience in graphic design, 3D art, and branding, I’ve had the opportunity to work with a diverse range of visionary clients, helping bring bold ideas to life through logo design, brand identity, and character art. But beyond client work, my passion has always been storytelling.

Home Slice Creative is my way of channeling that passion. It’s more than just a studio—it’s where creativity hits home. Here, I create digital tools and resources to help artists bring their visions to life, from handcrafted brush packs to design assets and beyond. But this is just one piece of what I do.

I’m also the mind behind Innovative Comics, a massive universe of stories I’ve been developing for years, driven by a dream to share them with the world. And then there’s The Cool Beans Podcast, where I get to geek out about superhero movies, comics, and all things nerd culture. My goal? To tie all three of these ventures together—art, storytelling, and community—into something truly special, under the banner of    "BV Collective".

When I’m not working on creative projects, I’m spending time with my fiancée and our one-year-old Corgi, Lola—who, let’s be real, is the actual CEO around here.

At the end of the day, I want Home Slice Creative to be more than just a brand. I want it to be a home for creators, a place where artists at any level can find inspiration, sharpen their skills, and build something amazing.

So whether you’re here for killer brushes, design resources, or just to nerd out over comics, welcome to the family. Let’s create something awesome.
