I’m Dusty.
I hail from Charlotte, North Carolina.
I’m still discovering what I do and how I want to show up in this world, following the thread of joy and what brings me peace.
the piedmont of North Carolina, to California, and Switzerland.
Nature has always been a reprieve. Getting out in nature is a must. I love challening myself. I want my work to be an escape, a breath of fresh air.
I’m so grateful I get to do this. Thanks for being here.

I’m Dusty, a lettering artist, designer, and the shadow behind Dangerdust. Illustrating with traditional materials, including chalk, acrylic, and watercolor, is my specialty. I’ve had the pleasure of working with clients like Target, Adobe, Bed Bath & Beyond, and California Pizza Kitchen.
Back in college, I was half of the duo that “graffitied” 24 Weekly Chalkboard Quotes onto my university's chalkboards. The project went viral, receiving recognition from Print Magazine, Colossal, and Huffington Post. Since then I’ve continued to chalk and letter solo, as well as work with clients, lurk in the shadows, and run the Print Shop.
For more dusty things, you can find me on Instagram, Facebook, and Patreon.
HOW IT STARTED
This all began as a __. Very grateful to my professor Mathew Mohr at the time who encouraged our hooligan ways.
