Home // About

Billie Stude (STEW-dee, any) is a fauvist post-realism painter and cartoonist creating tranche de vie comic art and mixed-media paintings.

Their work explores themes of nostalgia, existentialism, identity, surreality, and intimacy. These ideas are communicated through masterful combinations of expressionist color, stylized imagery, and, at times, a touch of hyperrealism to create artwork that is exuberant, emotionally resonant, and captures the magic in the mundane.

When they aren’t behind the drafting table, Billie can be found hiking the ruins of Ha Ha Tonka Castle, watching a Ghibli film, or playing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
