Blending a love for cartoons and pop culture with a deep appreciation for street art, Bay Area artist ANT$Y (formerly known as 'ARTISTICGOON') is carving out a unique space with his own distorted illusions and surreal creations. Many are familiar with the iconic, expressive eyeball that anchors his pieces—a signature created to evoke raw emotion and feeling, because, as we all know, the 'eye' doesn't lie.
