Hi, Iā€™m Chameleon, aka Cryptid.

I'm a commission artist with a strong focus on graphic design and social media management.

I believe in radical acceptance and authenticity, and work to provide art, graphics and social media assistance that allows the real you to shine through on any platform.

My art is directly inspired by my strong personal belief in capturing our experiences as vividly and completely as possible. Honesty is a core value we have collectively held for a long time, and something that we strive for in every facet of our lives. We believe that no person should have to live passively in order to survive.

My art and photography revolve around a central theme of capturing the true essence of color as vividly as possible. My eyes are extremely light sensitive, to the point where I am able to see in the dark with minimal moonlight. Unfortunately this also means that being outside during the day is hard. The sunlight often gives me migraines and visual fatigue. I have to wear glare reduction lenses during the day, and I have to wear UV coated sunglasses when around snow or other highly reflective surfaces.

This means I have lived a large portion of my life at night. I also, however, see colors very vividly, and see very minute differences in pigment much more strongly than most of my peers. My approach to artwork and photography is not only to capture the aura and wonder of witnessing the full color and emotional spectrums, but really highlighting even the most incremental differences in color, shape, size etc. I often work on black backdrops to really call attention to the color palette of a design.

Most of my traditional art revolves around several related style choices that add to this effect. First and foremost, I do not believe in having any sort of solid outline with my work. Black outlines often wash out the subtlety of the shading. I also make a specific point to include multiple colors even in a subject that many would make monochromatic. I do not see things as darker or lighter, only as closer to one hue or another, and the push and pull of these pigments are what show the true shape.

Some of my more recent work has been very opposed to these ideals. I have always struggled greatly with the human form, as well as pieces that have more color than shadows, and through my current studying process, am working on correcting for that.

I have also always struggled with proportions due to a skewed depth perception. Avoiding solid lines allowed me an ability to improvise on shapes to an extent, but the more detailed a piece becomes, the less room there is for such liberties.

I hope you will join us as we continue to learn more about art, ourselves, and our place in the world šŸ˜Š
