Decal Hermit the Crab By: Cole Lemke

Hello! My name is Cole Lemke, and I’m from a small village called Seascape, located in Aptos, California. I spent most of my younger years with a pen and paper, creating doodles heavily influenced by skate art, cartoons, comics, classic video game characters, and graffiti. In 2009, I graduated from the Art Institute of Portland with a BFA, studying 3D modeling, texturing, rigging, and animation. However, after a short time in the video game industry, I eventually returned to my roots and self-taught methods that revolve around my love for ink and drawing. For many years I was a self-employed graphic designer and freelance artist. In 2015, I started a company called Chump Magic, following my dream of crafting my goofy, silly ideas and turning my personal creations into various goodies.
