About Austin Keith-Grant | Charlotte Artist & Designer

Yo! This is Austin Keith-Grant;
Designer from Charlotte, NC.

Having been born in Charlotte, North Carolina, I am certainly a product of my environment. East Charlotte raised me - I was inspired at a young age by family and friends in the community to become a self-taught graphic artist, printmaker and all around Do-It-Yourself enthusiast.

I create things that I wish to see exist in the world. My particular style of ‘AKG’ artwork is something that I’ve been developing since I was 10 years old. It continues to grow as I do and derives from many eclectic sources of influence. What started as expressionist marker doodling has become a powerful method of storytelling through graphic design and mixed-media with a bold pop art flare. The purpose of my website is to serve as a platform for showcasing original artwork, selling unique products and sharing my stories with the world.

I also design full-time as Creative Director and Founder of Mantra Supply Company - a brand design agency that I founded in 2013 as a way to serve as a way to help others with creative projects. Brand identity systems, graphic artwork, custom merchandise and website development are the primary services offered by Mantra Supply. It’s incredibly fulfilling to bring people’s vision to life utilizing a wide range of creative skills I’ve developed over the years.
