I am based in Spokane, and work largely with watercolor, acrylic, and polymer clay to create 3D artwork. The Surrealist movement, the dramatic scenes of the Baroque period, and the colors and clouds of their Rococo successors have heavily influenced my aesthetic, as well as a childhood diorama obsession. A steady stream of sci-fi novels, historical nonfiction, and podcasts of all kinds fuel the conceptual underpinnings of each piece. As an artist I am interested in creating works that cannot be fully appreciated through a screen. I attempt this by layering individual elements in space so the viewer must move around the artwork to see details available from only certain angles. I also employ a consistent set of symbols and rules throughout my pieces. I am happy if my work resonates with anyone regardless of how you identify, although ultimately everything I make, I make in the hopes that it will be seen by other queer people, and that they in turn will feel seen. If you enjoy my art, would like to hear more about the ideas behind each piece, or you are interested in purchasing/commissioning artwork, please look me up on Instagram @art.of.kwd or reach out via email at kayuudee1@gmail.com . (Please make sure to note clearly in the email subject line that you are making inquiries about my artwork.)

I am an artistic lampworker and I started in 2014. I got my start in the american pipe culture scene and have since branched out into intricate marble work, lighting and jewelry. It’s my belief that glass art is for everyone, not just old ladies and stoners, so I am bringing the techniques from a collective of backgrounds to the public.

Trevon Walton
My name is Trevon Walton. I am an artist who has been spending my entire life finding ways to express myself and what I feel. I am a creative, finding love and passion in any and every medium that I touch, but I also find the ability to speak in a manner that can be difficult for me to do otherwise, it allows me to express myself in a raw, unfiltered manner. It also allows me to project part of me or my spirit into every thing I create, every detail of every painting, song, and body of work. My goal is to ultimately change the world, and give a platform for people like me, who may have been discouraged to be creative, and show them that being creative and expressive can ultimately heal in such a beautiful way. With these songs and these images, I tell you my story.

My name is Brendon, and I’m an artist based in Spokane, WA. My work mostly revolves around digital illustration and watercolor, and is intended to be both funny and spooky. I’m really drawn to using bright colors, and I love creating horror-inspired pieces. I enjoy making art that’s typically not taken too seriously and that pokes at the absurd side of life. It’s a fun and challenging way to express myself.
