About Me

Traditional & Digital Artist

John 'Clutch' Coleman

I’m John Coleman, a self-taught artist from Houston, Texas, now living and creating in Central Texas with my family.

I’ve been drawing for as long as I can remember. In 2013, I decided to take my art more seriously, and by 2015 I was consistently creating digital and traditional work while exhibiting throughout Houston’s pop-up art scene.

Today, I work primarily in digital art and painting, continuing to challenge myself and expand my craft.

FINDING MY VOICE

My art today is about finding my voice, developing my style, and telling meaningful stories through themes of identity, culture, nostalgia, family, and nature.

I’m pushing myself toward deeper, more thoughtful work while still leaving room for the fan art I’ve always loved. Don’t be surprised if it gets sprinkled in along the way.

For me, style is becoming less about how everything looks and more about what I have to say.

LIFE & COMMUNITY

Moving from Houston to Central Texas, becoming a husband and father, and experiencing new chapters of life have all changed my perspective as an artist.

My journey has also expanded into curation and creating opportunities for other artists, including experimenting with virtual exhibitions through Art Beyond Scrolling.

Ultimately, I want my art to connect with people—and I hope to continue creating spaces where art, stories, and community can come together.
