vnderworld isn’t just a moniker, it’s a geography. A place where prompts turn into chaotic portals, the wild & provocative becomes scripture, and every render feels like a pleasurable nightmare carved into frescos. Behind it all is Steve, aka Griz, a Portland-based artist who clawed his way back into creativity after nearly abandoning it. Raised on Santa Cruz counterculture, skate decks, graffiti walls, and death metal distortion, his roots were always loud, abrasive, and unapologetically DIY. He is our Artist-To-Watch this week, and you can check out the full spread and interview UP NOW on the site. via #NAKID #vnderworld #aiart #aiartist #artisttowatch
