Ar.Gi.Bi
We're a couple of nerds working together to create artwork we love for others who might enjoy it too! Our favorite genres from cute to creepy with touches of vivid color and vintage aesthetic.
As our studio name suggests, it’s based on the phonetic spelling of the primary colors of light which describe our connection to both digital based art mediums as well as traditional paint and print. The colors we chose for us represent the primary colors of paint and ink as well as a nod to being an LGBTQ+ owned studio. 

Ariel West Illustrations & Fine Art
You want to know about me, oh dear. Well, there’s so much and yet so little I can say. Where should I start? Where should I end? Ok, how about I just go with this. I love art, well of course I start by stating the obvious! Why else would these be here? I don’t tend to stick to any particular style or medium but if I had to pick watercolors are by far my favorite and I favor a whimsical fantasy style. It sounds trite but I have quite honestly been exploring art for as long as I can remember. While I love art it’s not my only hobby, I enjoy reading, writing, a smattering of video games and of course my dogs Loki and Ghost. Yes, I consider them a hobby they’re quite a handful! Of fur that is. Seriously, a Germand Shepherd and a Blue Heeler they never stop shedding. My poor Roomba he turns on travels a foot away from the charging port, makes a little musical noise of defeat and quickly returns to the charger. Oh my, I seem to have gone off somewhere not quite so relevant to my art. But now you know a bit more about me. I hope you enjoy your visual voyage through my art displayed here.

Ash Bucket Creates
Hi, my name is Ash and I'm a queer artist local to Columbus. I make waterproof stickers, pinback buttons, art prints, original pieces, and other handmade items! I love working with lots of color and a wide assortment of subjects, everything from cute chubby mushrooms to spooky skulls. I have been doing art from the moment I could hold a pencil and I love getting to share my art with the people around me.

August Antoinette Illustration
August strives to be a purveyor of the weird and macabre. He specializes in making art that may or may not scare your conservative parents but delight your cool, weird gay aunt. 
His products range from large poster sized prints to glass cups and stickers. Notebooks perfect for using as a grimoire or just to write down those intrusive thoughts that must stay inside. And even tshirts that are so cool, you might want to write them into your living will. 
Come find him for some timeless art and maybe some free therapy while you're there.
