Dom De Plume – Post-Pop Graphic Artist

Post-Pop Graphic Artist

Dom De Plume is a multimedia artist who paints, builds, mutates, and reimagines the world in his own raw visual language. His work lives in the spaces between illustration, custom toys, and hand-altered electric guitars – blending the noise of punk, the emotion of nostalgia, and the dirt of imagined futures.

Dom holds a Bachelor’s degree in Multimedia Art and studied graphic design, film, and game design. He’s worked in major ad agencies, won several creative awards, and is now a full-time creative director.

His pieces have been exhibited internationally – from the vibrant galleries of San Francisco to the prestigious exhibition spaces of Vienna – and alongside true pop-culture icons such as Ron English, Frank Kozik, Toki Doki and Pushead. He’s also appeared at comic and toy conventions.

With roots firmly planted in the punk and underground metal scene and 25+ years of guitar playing, his works are full of attitude, rawness, and DIY spirit.

Wasteland Guitars – a living art project where electric guitars become post-apocalyptic sculptures – fully playable, fully ruined. Each one is hand-painted to look like it survived a thousand gigs in a nuclear desert.

These are not relics – they are rebirths. Gritty, raw, and made by hand. Wasteland Guitars is a response to the polished emptiness of modern music aesthetics. It’s the sound of rebellion – visualized.

Rust as metaphor. Paint as weapon.
Sound as memory.

Illustrations

Cracks in reality. Images from the subconscious. Stories between the lines. Dom De Plume’s illustrations aren’t decoration — they’re visual disturbances. Each piece feels like a fragment from a dream you almost forgot, but can’t quite shake. Faces emerge from the void, scenes flicker like worn-out VHS tapes, and in between: static, space, meaning.

Working across analog and digital, Dom uses mixed media, ink, collage, and texture. Nothing is clean. Nothing is smooth. Instead: scratches, edges, and layers full of story. The work drifts between surreal worlds, psychogeographic sketches, and thought loops made visual — somewhere between comic books, dystopia, and diary pages.

textured, emotional, and full of beautiful distortion.

facies in tenebris

Dark, haunting mixed media works filled with fractured imagery, ghost-like faces, and subconscious voices.

Weird little objects with big personalities. Built by hand, born from chaos. Dom De Plume’s toy creations live somewhere between sculpture, satire, and storytelling. Each figure is a character — sometimes grotesque, sometimes adorable, always a little unsettling. They look like they crawled out of a garbage fire and brought their own mythology with them.

Inspired by 80s action figures, bootlegs, underground comics, and post-apocalyptic popular culture, these toys carry texture, attitude, and a handmade soul. Every scar, rust patch and crooked smile tells a story — of decay, survival, and strange beauty.

These aren’t collectibles. They’re survivors.

hand-made misfits – weird, worn, and full of attitude.

Visceral Rascals

Disgusting and delightful. Freakish little oddballs that feel like mutated plushies – born from garbage, fear, and bad dreams. Cute if you squint. Cursed if you don’t.

Post-Apocalyptic One-Sixth

Fully weathered 1/6 scale figures straight out of the wasteland. Built for survival, caked in dust, and dressed for doom. No gloss. Just gear, grime and gas masks.

Bot-Head

Art-piece for the “I Am Legion” 3A Toy Art Show in San Francisco’s 1:AM SF Gallery on 11.04.11 – alongside Frank Kozik, Tokidoki, Amanda Visell, etc.

Champions of the Sorcerer’s Sword

An 80s fantasy toyline reimagined through rust, grime, and time. Battle-damaged heroes and villains that look like they’ve survived centuries of shelf wars.
