ABOUT THE ARTIST

VALENTINE SHULTZ

(YOU CAN CALL ME VAL)

Hello!

Email: shultzvalentine@gmail.com

I’m a cartoonist and illustrator drawn to dark fantasy, horror, and science fiction — though I have just as much love for drawing cute, strange, and playful things too. My practice pulls from a little bit of everything: graphic design, film production design, illustration, painting, ceramics, and comics.

I enjoy working across disciplines and wearing many creative hats, learning every part of the process and chasing new ways to make ideas real. Every project is part experiment, part obsession, and part stepping stone toward the worlds, monsters, and stories I’m constantly trying to bring into existence.
