If you've had a meal or drink in the HMAC courtyard,
you've probably seen Tristan Bond's work.
He's the creator of the circular mural of the surrealist
deer, a work mounted during the 2017 Harrisburg Mural
Festival. Or perhaps you've seen his work at the HBG
Flea or the Odd Ones Bizarre at the Millworks.
If you have, you'll probably see certain threads running
through his work, as his style is inspired by a combination
of Japanese culture, anime, retro wave, Afro punk and pop
culture.
"I believe my work shows the power that we all hold
within ourselves," Tristan says. "ere are layers to us
all, vulnerability and also strength, and I like to capture
that by creating empowering pieces with strong female
and male characters depicted as warriors and dressed in
geometric armors."
We're delighted to share images of Tristan's work
on this page. To see more, follow him on Instagram at
