Max - he/him/they/them

Formally ArtbyPuppyknuckles, going to art school in WA state, Max has been crushing the PNW art scene for years. From his queer friendly/body positivity erotic art to his unique punk upgrades on linocuts and clothes, he truly is a one of a kind artist. Inspired by his love for fashion and ability to draw, he is the best at creating visual concepts for his ideas. Equipped with his unique style and fun-loving personality, Max can't wait to design your next press on set <3

Utilizing her bold palettes (and as always one round brush) she wants to bring her clean lines and design concepts straight to you <3
