About

 

Robert Joseph Deshaies II is a writer, visual storyteller, and doctoral student exploring how art, story, and myth shape who we are—and who we might become. His work blends cultural theory, comics, and creative practice, often focusing on the moral imagination of young people in an age of uncertainty. He earned his MA in Philosophy and History of Art at the University of Kent’s Paris School of Arts and Culture, where he wrote a dissertation on Superman as a symbol of hope and ethical growth. Robert is currently pursuing a doctorate in Leadership and Organizational Change at Concordia University Irvine.

​

He is the creator of CHAMELEON Anonymous and the founder of Rogue Comix, a press dedicated to experimental storytelling. His ongoing research centers on a concept he calls utopian individualism—a way of thinking that blends tradition with transformation, heroism with humility.
