About the Studio
Self-taught. Studio-built.
T. Gardner Studios is the working name of a self-taught artist and designer building visual worlds for musicians, brands and collectors.
The studio sits at the intersection of fine art, apparel design, murals, and storytelling — equally at home on a gallery wall, a record sleeve, or a 40-foot brick exterior.
The mission is simple: give serious bands and brands a visual identity that feels handmade, not stamped out. Every project ships through the same hands — sketch to delivery, no outsourcing, no AI fills.
01
Album Covers
Front-to-back album packaging for bands — covers, back art, track lists and release-ready assets.
02
Merch Design & Production
Designed in the studio and printed through a trusted screen-print partner — tees, hoodies and full merch lines built to wear and sell.
03
Murals
Public murals and commissioned installations made for the wall, the room, and the street.
04
Fine Art
Hand painted originals, from small scale to large scale paintings all done in acrylic that live in galleries and private collections all across the US. Fine art prints are also available — gallery-grade reproductions of select works, for collectors who want the piece without the price tag of the original.
05
Digital Art
Logos, digital paintings and brand illustration for screens, packaging and print.
Meet the Artist
One pencil. No looking back.
I made art as a kid and loved every second of it. Then life got loud. For about twenty years I set the pencils down and put everything into raising my family — being a husband, being a dad, keeping the lights on.
A few years back I had a health scare with my heart. When things finally started turning around, something shifted. I started spending my nights teaching myself to paint. Then teaching myself graphic design. I did a tattoo apprenticeship for a while. I worked up the nerve to walk into a screen-print shop and ask for a job as a graphic artist, scared to death the whole way in — and got it.
One day I just picked up a pencil and never looked back. Now I'm painting murals for my city, designing album covers for bands, and putting art on shirts for businesses around town.
"Resting in Red" took home awards at the county fair in the fine art section. Inland 360 Art & Culture magazine reached out about doing a piece on the work I did with Requiem Tree and the mural I painted for the city. There are talks in the works about a spot on the local radio morning show, too.
The work keeps growing. So does the list of things I want to make. If you've got a band, a brand, or a wall — let's build something.
