"I am inspired by ultramodern and minimalist styles, and intrigued by the idea that style can be substance. I produce patterns that work as vehicles for color. By combining shape, value and texture, my geometric designs juxtapose both structure and randomness, artifice and nature, and the mechanical with the organic." - DBH Artist Spires

"My t-shirt designs are a blend of pop-culture, film, video game aesthetics, and anything from cute to cut-throat in nature. I like to cover a wide range of subjects and styles in my designs, and most of my stuff maintains a playful tone. Half of my stuff consists of pure nostalgia." - DBH Artist Punksthetic

"My character based art style is born out of 80's skate graphics, street art and illustration influences. My style has evolved over a couple of decades and I now have the signature art style that is recognized as mine. Characters, darkness, cuteness and skulls are prevalent in most of my work." - DBH Artist Wotto

"I would consider myself a old school anime and pop culture style artist. I try to design products around my interests which includes anime, exercise, sports, TV, movies, and military. I also like to create fun designs for my biggest fan, my daughter. She loves 'My Little Pony' style, her favorite music groups, and fun animal tees". - DBH Artist Spikeani

"I don't really think I have a defined style ' I get bored if I'm not trying new stuff and learning new techniques all the time. My artwork is a constant journey of discovery for me, and I think the central idea behind my work (other than the fact that monsters are awesome) is constant evolution." - DBH Artist DavicMaclennan

"My style is a mix of old vintage signs, old comics, tattoos, and 60s and 70s movie posters. Especially those posters from crappy 'B' movies. I really try to focus on illustration with typography elements inspired by those old comics and posters and signs." - DBH Artist Cabooth
