About AKG

YO! THIS IS AUSTIN KEITH-GRANT;
DESIGNER FROM CHARLOTTE.

BORN 1996 IN CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA - I AM CERTAINLY A PRODUCT OF MY ENVIRONMENT. I GREW UP ON THE EASTSIDE OF THE CITY, INSPIRED BY MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS TO BECOME A SELF-TAUGHT GRAPHIC ARTIST, ILLUSTRATOR, PRINTMAKER, ENTREPRENEUR AND ALL AROUND DO-IT-YOURSELF ENTHUSIAST.

I MAKE ARTWORK AND OTHER CREATIONS THAT I WISH TO SEE EXIST IN THE WORLD. MY PARTICULAR STYLE OF 'AKG' ORIGINAL 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 DOODLING HAS BECOME A POWERFUL METHOD OF STORYTELLING USING MIXED-MEDIA WITH POP ART FLARE.

THE PURPOSE OF THE AUSTIN KEITH-GRANT WEBSITE IS TO SERVE AS A PLATFORM TO TELL MY STORY, SHOWCASE ORIGINAL ARTWORK, SELL UNIQUE PRODUCTS AND CONNECT WITH THE WORLD!

I ALSO DESIGN FULL-TIME AS CREATIVE DIRECTOR OF MANTRA SUPPLY CO. - A DESIGN AGENCY THAT I FOUNDED IN 2013 WHILE STILL IN HIGH SCHOOL. BRANDING, GRAPHICS, CUSTOM MERCHANDISE AND WEBSITE DESIGN ARE THE PRIMARY AREAS OF FOCUS FOR MANTRA SUPPLY. IT'S INCREDIBLY FULFILLING TO BRING CLIENTS' VISIONS TO LIFE UTILIZING A WIDE RANGE OF CREATIVE SERVICES AND SKILLS I'VE LEARNED OVER THE YEARS.

THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ MY BIO! FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA FOR THE LATEST NEWS AND OTHER INFORMATION ON UPCOMING PROJECTS AND RELEASES.
