In this year’s final episode of the #BICCreators series, we meet Tommy Mitchell, a visual artist from #Baltimore, Maryland. Tommy’s work centers around portraying people--capturing their stories through expressions, clothing style, and the essence of a specific time frame. For him, art is a continuous quest to explore what's possible with his craft. His connection to BIC pens is driven by an unconventional inspiration: tattoo artists. Observing the detail they bring to their masterpieces on skin, Tommy challenged himself to achieve the same level of precision on paper. His artistic process combines hatching, scribbling, and layering techniques to create a smooth, statuesque look in his work. His meticulous approach ensures every line and layer blends seamlessly, giving his pieces a distinct, polished finish. It’s not just about technique—it’s about mastering his craft and delivering artwork that resonates. What sets Tommy’s story apart is his non-traditional path--relying on hard work, determination, and self-teaching without formal art school or early gallery representation. “I joke that I got my MFA from YouTube, and I'm thankful that we're in an era where information is accessible, however that may come.” This episode celebrates not just Tommy’s artistry but also his belief in the accessibility of creativity—values that align deeply with BIC’s mission to democratize expression. Through his work, Tommy reminds us that art is about connecting with people, telling stories, and finding joy along the way!
