Statement of Intent

 

JetSetMelonDrop Productions, LLC [JSMDPro] is an artistic collective of likeminded artists of various disciplines and mediums. Based in Philadelphia, we strive to strengthen the powerful hub of art the city fosters by providing directors, freelancers, and media-artists with the resources and talents to create their artistic visions. Through exposure and various promotional outlets for all our affiliates, along with mentorships and teaching experiences, JSMDPro fosters a safe and united collective for independent projects to grow and for independent artists to find their voice.

​​

Established originally in 2014 as "JetSetMelon Designs" as a local visual art brand, the groups has since expanded to encompass artists and talents all over the globe. Our team spans talent throughout the US (Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Connecticut, New York, and California), and internationally (Canada, Great Britain, WesterN Europe, Japan, and New Zealand). JSMDPro also provides commercial services for negotiable prices both individually and in larger productions, though we will always prioritize our 1st Party and Independent Productions. This includes (but is not limited to) advertising, animation, graphic design, filming, photography, and post production. JSMDPro operate as a recording Label for all our Musicians and Audio-Oriented creators, providing them with recording booths and tools, sound engineering, mastering, and avenues for general distribution. As of 2026, our group is home to a plethora of artists in the fields of Animation, Illustration, Sound Design & Music, Writers, Actors both on and offscreen, Performers, Game Developers, Teachers, and staunch Art Historians. We are supported and affiliated deeply with The Graphic Artists Guild, with several members

Our greatest asset is our artists, and as such we have various partners based in our own neighborhood: Asian Arts Initiative, Underground Arts, J1 Studios, R-Theory Productions, R3 Productions, CypherPrime Studios, and growing relationships with the local art universities (Moore College of Art and Design, Temple-Tyler School of Art, Drexel University…). We provide both paid and school-accredited internship opportunities that can help build team skillsets, real-life career experience, and lasting relationships and networking opportunities. We are also devoted champions of REAL HUMAN ARTISTS. In the ever changing scope of marketing and AI-advancements, we limit all AI/LLM usage to an absolute minimum (specifically, in the operation of software tools built within our visual and audio software, which has been true and convenient since the advent of digital art and the adobe suite). No use of Generative AI, Diffusion Models, or Generative Adversarial Networks is used in the creation, or even the conceptual stages, of all our projects. JSMDPro stands firmly on it being considered theft/plagiarism to utilize such models built on the hard work of other artists and then passing it off as original creations. The greatest joy we find is from the work we create ourselves, and the path we take to get there be it individually or collectively.

​

In addition to our core team featured here on the site, we have a large network of affiliates and independent contracted artists at out disposal. While mostly on a case and project basis, we are always open to expanding the roster and offering any opportunities we can for new artists and projects. If you think we might be a great fit for you and you allgn with our goals and ideals, please feel free to contact us!
