The Story
The work behind the name.
Tyler Shelton started painting portraits of rock stars at 20 and turned his Instagram into a business before he was 30.

Tyler Shelton is an Austin-based, self-taught artist working across painting, collage, and mixed media. Drawing on the visual language of vintage advertising, pop iconography, and mid-century commercial design, his work is bold, textural, and instantly recognizable built to feel familiar even before you know why. Influenced by Warhol, Basquiat, and the indie rock records he grew up with, Shelton creates art that functions like a favorite song a fast, complete transmission of a point of view.
“It's like a diary. When I look at one of those paintings, I almost know what I did. It makes me feel cool. It's a reference point for my life and it's something to look forward to.”
