Christopher "Brain" Chambers (born March 22nd, 1984 as Christopher Brain Brian Chambers) known also as Chambers, Brain, Yoshi, ONCITA, and simply Christopher, is a Filipino-American Graphic Designer best known for his work on PucaTrade.com, a website dedicated to the trading of Magic Cards. Chambers is not only one of the main designers, but also an active member. In addition to working as a designer, Chambers has been lauded as a fine artist, experimenting mainly with painting, drawing, and sculpting. With subject matter ranging from bulldogs, fantasy creatures, monsters, and nudes, Chambers has a body of work that encapsulates much of the known art world.

He has received numerous awards, including the 2013 Fall Semester Graphic Design Thesis Award (1 of 3 winners) after completing his 8th year of art school. Despite the renown, the award is rumored to be given to sycophants and suck-ups, causing many allegations to the legitimacy of the winners, however Chambers has rebuffed these rumors. He has currently decided to begin online dating.

Early Years
Chambers was born at 8am in Jakarta Indonesia to Warren and Elizabeth Tan Chambers. Warren is oft quoted as having to bribe a cab driver $200 simply to get the baby Chambers to the hospital to be born. Chambers has an older sister Monica, who currently lives in New York. He lived in Indonesia until he was 20 months old, and stood out due to his light brown hair. He was so loved by everyone, that he was carried everywhere, rarely ever touching the floor. Due to this, Chambers astonishingly never learned to crawl. Shortly after turning a year old, he simply started to walk. As the story goes he wanted food, and everyone was tired of babying him.

In January of 1986, the Chambers family moved back to California. Warren was laid off, and Chambers second birthday took a dramatic downturn from the 1st, as he had a single cup cake, as compared to an exuberant 1st birthday party. Later the Chambers family moved to a cul-du-sac in Concord, where Chambers was able to make friends and play with the numerous children in the neighborhood. Later when the family moved to Walnut Creek, Chambers attended Palmer School in pleasant hill with his sister. Monica began to excel in school, leaving Chambers to experience the scorn of sibling rivalry. From a very young age, Chambers began expressing himself through art. It was where he flourished, and the beginnings of a great artist emerged.

Chambers was very attached to “Clowney”, a stuffed clown given to him at age 3. He simply could not be without it. Tragedy struck on a family trip to Europe, as Clowney was left in a hotel room, never to be seen and heard from again. With Chambers devastated, Warren rushed to Hendley’s, a famous to store in London, and purchased a stuffed bulldog. Due to his loss and some pushing by Warren, Chamber’s grew hopelessly attached to the bulldog, who was dubbed “Fuji” after his favorite sumo wrestler. Warren returned to the store to buy a back up, just in case. Admittedly, to this day Chambers needs Fuji close by in order to fall asleep.

Teenage Angst
Chambers teenage years are shrouded in mystery. There are no official records recording his troubling actions, leaving most of the middle part of Chambers history to be told learned by word of mouth. During his time at Mt. Pleasant School, Chambers became good friends with his japanese roommate Toshi, and developed friendships with many other Korean and Japanese students. Due to this, Chambers has always been slightly disillusioned about exactly how White he really is. Tragically, it is difficult to find verified accounts of any of Chambers troubling teen years. The only accounts that can be verified, are his prevalent use of colorful language, and one particular incident where during a confrontation with a counselor, chambers told her to do something with a piece of her anatomy that is physically impossible.

In 8th grade, Chambers began taking summer classes at the Academy of Art in San Francisco. Despite any troubles, he was always battling "The System" as it constantly fought against him.

Higher Education
Chambers began attending CCA in 2003, focusing on Painting and Drawing. During this time, Chambers spent his first period of time living outside of his parents house. This resulted in disaster for both Chambers, and his roommates food supplies. He has openly admitted to being a bad roommate. Not only was he unusually messy, but he was notorious for eating his roommates good food with no remorse or warning. Although he always attempted to repay them, there was no way to make up for the mountains of cold pizza that were eaten out of turn. Chambers recieved his first degree in 2008, and joined the work force at a running pace.

Naming Controversy
As a child born to an American father and American-Indonesian Mother, Chambers needed a certificate of live birth of child overseas, issued from the United States Embassy. While Warren was attempting to get the baby Chambers a passport and US Citizenship, Warren discovered that the hospital had mis-spelled Chambers middle name as “Brain” rather than “Brian”. Although his current birth certificate has “Brian” listed, the original mis-spelling is still there, albeit crossed out. In 2013, Chambers has adopted “Brain” as not only his name, but the persona he portrays to unfamiliars.
