Hobo Kelly

Designs, apparel, tattoos, art, and adventures from a wandering hobo. I've been coloring things my entire life.

I came from a very dynamic and artistic family, talented in visual, musical, and technical categories. A few hippies and gypsies, too....

I was lucky enough to be in an environment that allowed me to cultivate my artistic tendencies, and eventually mustered the courage to begin travelling and meeting the most amazing people and having the most amazing experiences. As far as training, I haven't ha

d many formal art classes. Most of what I do is just by doing, experimenting, and trial and error. I have been, however, training as a tattoo artist for a while, under proper apprenticeship, which has allowed me to explore new ways of designing and play with new mediums, live skin being the ultimate challenge. In addition, during my time in Borneo, I began learning the fascinating art of Batik, which I've been diving into, as well. I offer services as a designer for logos, marketing, apparel, promotional products, events, etc. I also provide illustration services, and have experience with designing and painting murals, wood crafts, and other tangible art pieces. I can be reached at [email protected] if you are interested in my artistic services. Many of the works shown here are also available for sale, as originals (if available), or prints. Please contact me at [email protected] if you are interested in purchasing. Thank you for loving and appreciating all the art around you!
