L. “MK” Trahan, known as Miasmatik Art, is a queer horror artist, illustrator and cartoonist from New Orleans, now based in NYC. With a background in scientific research, experimentation is a key part of their creative practice. They often use bold lines, vibrant colors, and graphic shapes to convey haunting narratives and explore the intersection between the creepy, the comedic, and the cathartic.
Past clients include: Andrew Joseph White, Peachtree Teen, Obsidian Moon Crate, Queers Who Bite
