Mumford the Lion Man on a bike ride, 2023
He’s essentially a hate-character I made. His whole thing is that he’s extremely into the band Mumford and Sons, and shout-stomp-clamp “folk” music in general. He’s unapologetically twee, and insufferably kind. He’ll probably invite you back to his cramped little apartment to listen to music, and touch his soft butt. I affectionately refer to him as an “older twink”, since he’s in his thirties. Oh, we an only hope to know someone as effortlessly charming as he.
“Mumford the Lion Man” 2023
“HEY” 2023
Recently, I teamed up with a buddy of mine in LA to make some risograph prints of Mumford. While they didn’t go exactly as planned, due to me not knowing the quirks of riso printing, the end result is desirable nonetheless. Printed on vellum cardstock, the prints have a timeless and vintage quality. They kinda feel like giant plastic playing cards!
Inkjet versions on heavy cardstock were also made. They’re more true to digital. I find the riso is more fluorescent.
I’m gonna throw this and other prints in my shop shortly. I’m entering this exciting new era where I’m making lots of printed media, it’s very cool for me being a digital artist to see my work all physical and whatnot.
Thanks for reading about my twink.
