Meet Dylan Helman, a Morganton, NC-based artist passionate about keeping things light and enjoying the creative ride. For now, he's perfectly content with his straightforward and honest Instagram bio, which says: "I draw stuff."
Dylan began drawing as a child and has primarily transitioned to the digital realm, exploring many styles as diverse as his sources of inspiration. His creative fuel comes from fellow artists in the community, music, TV shows, games, beer, the beauty of nature, and, of course, the silly thoughts that dance around in his head.
"If I can make someone chuckle by looking at my work, or at least get them to think, 'that looks pretty cool', then I feel like I've accomplished something worthwhile."
Whether a meticulously detailed masterpiece or a whimsical doodle, Dylan's art is about having fun and sharing that joy with others.
Visit Dylan at a special “Meet the Artist” event Friday September 29 at 7pm at Fonta Flora Brewery located in downtown Morgantown, where his work is on display throughout September.
