Hi, I’m Zack!

I was born and raised in Glasgow, Kentucky, and moved to Nashville in 2020 to study illustration at Belmont University. In 2022, I earned my BFA in Illustration and received a Silver Addy Award for my Metamorphosis illustration series.

Today I’m based in Chicago, working as a freelance illustrator and graphic designer.

My work lives somewhere between surreal cartooning, psychedelic absurdity, and dark humor. My style has been described as “an acid trip gone bad — but in a way that keeps you coming back for more.”

I’m drawn to strange characters, warped perspectives, and imagery that feels slightly off in the best possible way. Through bold linework and chaotic energy, my illustrations aim to create worlds that are weird, unsettling, and oddly playful all at the same time.

When I’m not drawing strange creatures or designing graphics, I’m usually experimenting with new illustration ideas or taking on freelance and commission work.
