01 · About

Hi, I'm Cole.

I just graduated from LMU with a BA in Studio Arts and a minor in math. For the past few years I've worked at The Cycling Lion (the campus bike shop) and run a small restoration project on the side called Two Wheel Steals, which has put more than three hundred affordable bikes back on the road for Angelenos.

I make prints, posters, and the occasional functional-art piece, like the pedal-powered sewing machine below. I'm looking for apprenticeships, residencies, public-art commissions, or shop work, ideally somewhere I can keep learning from people who've been doing this longer. My resume has the rest.
