When did you launch your brand?
Launched in 2018 after a photography exhibition I did about Tripoli. The names of my pictures took as much of a hit as the photos. People wanted the titles written on items.
What motivated you to start?
I wanted a platform where I can have fun with my humor without taking things too seriously. Jentonic started as a fun project where the number 1 rule is to make ppl smile and not to take things seriously.
