Ray Sumser is a multi-media artist who works with paint, ink, graphite, pixels, words, and music. He is most known for his large-scale images featuring thousands of recognizable pop culture icons and for drawing live requests on TikTok and Youtube. While he has spent most of his artistic career working with cartoon in a variety of ways, he has also dabbled in the realms of landscape and abstract as well as comedy and music - both writing and performing. Ray lives in California with his wife Justice and their pets Blue Dog and Jerkface Kitty.
