About the Artist

Taylor Schmidt is an illustrator based in Queens, NY. With a background in graphic design, Schmidt’s work is rooted in the digital form but he often explores different mediums including painting, collage, and screen printing. His style is eclectic and versatile and explores the balance between the serious and the absurd, the polished and the raw, the intentional and the accidental. Each piece is a visual experiment that layers humor, emotion, and design sensibility into something that feels both familiar and strange. 

Schmidt is drawn to the in-between spaces of visual culture where clean graphic forms meet messy human expression. Through his work, he aims to challenge expectations while remaining accessible and honest—always chasing that rare moment where chaos and clarity coexist.
