About the Artist

By trade, I am an illustrator and graphic designer. In my mind, however, I live the life of a fearless adventurer, a powerful Amazonian woman, and the nerdiest of nerds. My name is Kayla Dunham-Torres, but most people call me K (she/they).

I studied illustration (animated and publication design) and graphic design at the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) in Savannah, Georgia, a school located a mere 3,000 miles from my hometown of Granite Falls, Washington. While working under renowned creatives such as Mike Wimmer, Casey Nelson, and Mohamed Danawi, I developed a passion for the gritty, nitty-gritty style of artwork for which I have become known.

As an artist and designer, I aspire to create works for people, companies, and organizations that are comprised not only of good people, but also of good ideals. I want to wake up every morning excited and proud of what I am doing as a creative being. My art style has been described as punk, urban, and gritty, reflecting my roots, personality, and mission to create a language for the underdogs.
