❝NAILBATTERY❞ is a twenty-three year old artist and writer from South Florida. He graduated from Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in the spring of 2024 with a B.F.A. in Illustration. Intermittently he enjoys writing, illustrating, and printmaking (when he can get his hands on the resources); truth be told, he spends most of his time dreaming up stories and characters... and some of his leftover time attempting to bring them to life, one way or another.
Much of his work is inspired by if not directly related to music and music subcultures, particularly from the 70s and 80s. He's also fond of monsters and robots, odd couples and found families, and blunt weapons — perhaps enough to name his art account after one. You are likely to find these themes scattered throughout his projects and postings.
