about
Greetings. ๐๐พ Iโm Michael. ๐จ๐พโ๐ป Itโs nice to meet you. โจ
I make art ๐จ for songs ๐ถ and shirts ๐ (and one day, shoes ๐) in South Central Los Angeles. ๐ด Iโm an art director and graphic designer born here, by way of North Texas. ๐ค
My work has been seen in publications like Pitchfork, Vice, Yahoo!, The Fader, NPR, and Complex, among others. My past clients have entered talent and distribution partnerships with record labels like Def Jam and Roc Nation.
Iโm also involved in the NFT and cryptoart worlds. I have some works on OpenSea and Rarible, where Iโm verified, as well as Zora and Foundation.
Iโve made shirts, stickers, flyers and folders, logos and long-play records for bands and brands of all sizes. I also specialize in interactive pitch decks and press kits for artists, photographers, models and creators of every sort.
In art & design, my heroes are (and have always been) Donald Glover, Parra and Aaron Draplin. In life, I look up to my parents, Michael Felder I and Grace Edwards, as well as my sister, Maya.
Thanks for visiting my website. It means a lot to me that you did.
