MykNash

About The Artist

Hey hey!! Wut up!!

I’m MykNash — artist/musician shaped by punk rock, surf skate scene, and the colorful chaos of 80s & 90s subculture.

Born in Nashville TN, I always had a love for music and started my career early as a touring punk bass player. Over time my creativity shifted from sound to visual.

Finishing college with degrees in Mass Communication, Music Business, Entertainment Technology and Marketing, I entered the work force as a graphic designer.

Taking everything I learned from music and channeling it into a new form of expression, I started to explore abstract work, design and poster art.

Artists like Jim Phillips, VCJ, John Van Hamersveld, Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Rick Griffin, and Drew Brophy, lit the path for me early on. Their boldness, repetition, and color taught me how to communicate without saying a word.

For a period of time, I was working in a traditional corporate environment before once again returning to the creative space. Originally drawn to the innovation NFTs offered, it’s the energy of the Web3 community that has kept me hooked. More recently in my art, I’ve been focusing on creating digital works, specifically frame by frame hand drawn animations.

Whether it’s on a wall, a screen or a stage, I’m just here to create and connect.

The Process

Everything MykNash makes is hand drawn directly on an iPad with programs like Procreate used for the final touches. He tries to keep it raw and minimal, so most of the loops come together in just a few frames.

“I like the challenge of creating an animation that looks as smooth as possible, while keeping it super stripped down.”

It’s kind of like trying to write a song in three chords – simple, but still hits.
