Mason, working under the moniker Mud or Mudqin ('mud-kin') is a queer artist, illustrator, and designer from northern Massachusetts. He built atop of lifelong self-taught skills under industry-leading professionals to earn a BFA in Illustration at Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD) in 2026.
Mud strongly believes in the ability of silly, strange and playful art to help fend off day-to-day existential dread and push towards a better future. All art, even that which others might consider unskilled or unimportant, holds the unique ability to uplift marginalized people and teach radical empathy.
In his personal life, Mud values human/civil rights and social advocacy, and strives to become a more well-rounded person by learning from the experiences of others. Other than making art in any form, Mud also loves to hang out with his dogs, play video-games with friends, and eat good food with his family.
