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

Dani - she/her

Formally D4N1, Dani was born in Seoul but has been a WA native for over 30 years. Dani has since branched out from her traditional canvas and acrylic gouache to explore the world of nail art. Still inspired by her love of anime and video games she can't wait to showcase her unique style. Utilizing her bold palettes (and as always one round brush) she wants to bring her clean lines and design concepts straight to you <3
