About the Company:

Chump Magic is a very tiny company based out of Soquel, California that focuses on illustrations, creating various ink-based designs.  Owned and operated by a dude that spends way too much time doodling, our goal is to have fun doing what we love, and with any luck, dispense artwork and goodies that make others happy as well.  We hope you enjoy.

About the Artist:

Hello!  My name is Cole, and I am from a small village called Seascape, located in Aptos, California.  I spent most of my younger years with a pen and sketchbook, creating doodles heavily influenced by skate art, cartoons, comics, classic video game characters, and graffiti.  In 2009, I graduated from the Art Institute of Portland with a BFA, studying 3D modeling, texturing, rigging, and animation.  However, after a short time in the video game industry, I eventually return to my roots and self taught methods that revolve around my love for ink and drawing.  I have been fortunate to work with great companies such as Cisco Systems, Hot Topic, California Roots Music and Art festival, Shirt.Woot!, Creature Skateboards, Cryptic Studios, San Diego Zoo, The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, Emerald Cup, and many more.  In 2015, I started my own company called Chump Magic, following the dream of crafting my goofy ideas and personal creations.
