Born in St. Louis MO in 1986, fnnch is an anonymous American street artist now based in San Francisco. When he first moved to the Bay Area, fnnch became infatuated with the multitude of street art but felt that it was a form of art that lacked a wide range of visual representation. He also recognized the inaccessibility of fine art museums for a large portion of the general public, and saw street art as a movement that could showcase art that is free and out there for everyone to enjoy. With this motivation, fnnch hit the streets with multi-layered stencils and spray paint and now, years later his murals have inspired the masses while connecting and energizing thousands of people worldwide.
Self identifying as a contemporary pop artist, fnnch paints a variety of pop and street art imagery, but is most famous for his honey bear series that he calls "symbols of happiness.” His murals can be found in San Francisco, LA, New York, Miami, Chicago, St. Louis, Tel Aviv and Hong Kong. He has built a strong worldwide following with over 60k followers on Instagram and has been featured in The New York Times, Washington Post, San Francisco Chronicle and VICE, as well as represented by brands like J.Crew, TOMS Shoes, and Benefit Cosmetics. He has also achieved incredible auction results for a younger artist with Artsy online auctions, Heritage and Sotheby’s.
In the midst of the pandemic, fnnch launched a COVID-safe project where he sold low-cost Honey Bears that families put in their windows, and published a map alongside them, creating the "Honey Bear Hunt,” to connect communities and keep isolated families active. In further dedication to fnnch's contributions to the community, he has dedicated several of his signature honey bears to Stanford as an alum of the school, the “I.T. Bear,” and has created different sculptural versions of the Honey Bear for Burning Man for now six consecutive years. An aspired dream of fnnch's, he has developed a “Burner Bear'' that features Burning Man’s iconic Robot Heart inspired glasses and a buff around the neck for protection against the desert's dust.
In addition to his site specific works, he also creates the occasional unique paintings that are highly sought after on both the primary and secondary auction market. He has had gallery shows in San Francisco and Los Angeles and his fine art can be found in private collections worldwide. His work is also included in the City Museum in St. Louis, MO as well as Facebook HeadQuarters, General Motors, Google, and Stanford University (previously mentioned).
