Branden Collins
Branden Collins is beyond words. He really is. His work jumps over verbs and nouns, and oozes with familiar sweet scents while bearing a striking resemblance to nothing you’ve seen before. And like his enigmatic work, his career is equally exceptional and unorthodox. He has worked with recording artists, international media giants, state governments, west coast startups, and still his pot is only beginning to show its bottom. Creatives like Branden give me hope. But he also gives me pause; when someone can make it look as deceptively effortless as he does, do we take him for granted?
Branden has not had an easy road to his current perch of plenty, but he is a shining example of what happens when you prioritize your own health and well-being, above that of societal expectations. His mind is a whirring cosmos of ideas and thoughts and I am eager and glad to see what he thinks up next.
