He is a part of the Oak Cliff artist collective known as Sour Grapes, which was formed in 2000 with his brothers Arturo and Miguel Donjuan. Donjuan is influenced by hip hop culture, lowrider culture, West Coast graffiti artists, Mexican and Indigenous American folk art. Donjuan's art has been shown internationally and is included in the Chicano art collection of Cheech Marin. Growing up with undocumented parents, Donjuan recalls that he was introduced at a young age to the term "illegal alien." In his art, he responds to this term: "I thought that there was really aliens out there, you know. I thought they were these weird creatures. And so as an adult now, I’m revisiting that idea of an illegal alien... You want to call struggling people ‘aliens’? I’ll show you aliens." (en)
