Hey, I’m Hardy! I’m an Olde Millennial(TM) transmasc nonbinary mlm (deep breath) artist that graduated from (commercial art school redacted) in 2004 and despite that experience I still like making art somehow.

I’ve been drawing ever since my parents realized that the way to keep me from irritating everyone at the all-you-can-eat buffet was to hand me a pen and a napkin. When I wasn’t scribbling on innocent surfaces, I was absorbing sci-fi/fantasy novels, videogames, lessons from Jane Goodall and David Attenborough, and whatever my furry, feathery, or scaly friends had to teach me. So, I was a bit of an awkwardly weird kid who turned into an unapologetically weird adult, but I’ve learned to bring that weirdness to bear in my art in a way that I hope can brighten people’s day!

I derive tons of inspiration from nature, bright colors, music, pop culture, and my animal companions most of all. I also believe every human has a spiritual aspect to them, and that plays a huge role in a lot of my designs. I often try to bring my oddball humor into my art. These days, who doesn’t need a laugh? Even if it’s a little cursed.
