It all started with a 13-pound, fur-covered muse.

After a divorce and the sudden quiet of a two-bedroom apartment in NW Portland, Bryan Tietge found himself faced with a blank canvas—literally. With only his loyal cat, Punkin “Punk,” for company, Bryan began creating art to fill the empty walls and rebuild a sense of home.

What started as a personal outlet quickly turned into a creative journey. Drawing from the heartbreak of major life changes, the surreal humor of everyday moments, and the small joys of being a cat dad in the American West, Bryan blends 3D modeling, illustration, sketching, and graphic design into the art you see today.

Each piece is a reflection of emotion, memory, and reinvention—now living on the walls, in the wardrobes, and hopefully, in the homes of those who see a bit of themselves in his work.
