About: Lunden

Artist Lunden Blake

As a Maryland native, my artwork is a tribute to the culture I grew up in, heavily influenced by the sounds of Rap and DC Go-Go music. Music has always been a cornerstone in shaping both my art and the community I come from. In the DMV, art is a major part of the culture, uniting people and reflecting the vibrant energy of our world. Through my art, I aim to capture the spirit , positivity, unity, and the diverse elements that make up our shared experiences.

I attended the Savannah College of Art and Design, where I honed my skills and developed my personal perspective as an artist. Since those days, I’ve been blessed with a journey that has deepened my dedication to the craft. From drawing for classmates to designing custom T-shirts, art has always been my passion. I find nothing more fulfilling than creating pieces that resonate deeply with others, especially when they evoke strong emotions.

Cartoon drawing has always been a favorite medium of mine, but I also fell in love with tattooing. For me, tattooing is the ultimate form of artistic flattery—to have someone trust you with their skin and wear your art for life is an incredible honor. It’s a form of legacy, where even after I’m gone, my work will live on through those who carry it with them.
