Making things that didn't exist before — with earth, paint, ink, and whatever else is at hand.

“I don't fit in one category. Never have. The murals and the cob walls and the hats and the drawings are all the same impulse — just different materials.”

About
Matt Franklin
Portland-based artist and builder. I’ve been making things my whole life and never settled on just one form — drawings, paintings, murals, cob building projects, hand painted hats, music, photography. It’s all the same drive.
The drawings, paintings, hats, and line work on shirts are mine. The mural work was a years-long collaboration with Pablo. The cob and natural building is the same — I show up and build something that lasts.
I make things for the love of making them.
If you found this from a sticker, a postcard, a mural, or Instagram — welcome. This is where all of it lives.
