T HE HIVE
Divine Hive Mind is a multidisciplinary creative studio led by two artists working through a shared intelligence—one that blends visual storytelling, public engagement, and deeply personal, human-centered art.
Our studio brings to gether:
-
Artistic excellence grounded in years of professional tattooing, illustration, and painting
-
Community-centered processes designed to listen first and create work that reflects real people
-
Strategic execution that integrates budgets, timelines, partnerships, and long-term impact
-
A collaborative creative model where two artists work as one, producing work bigger than either could alone
We partner with individuals, neighborhoods, organizations, and institutions who want art that does more than decorate a wall or a body.
We create work that resonates, anchors memory and identity, and reveals the symbols that connect us.
Whether it’s on skin, in a public square, or across a city block, our goal is consistent:
make art that lives with people — and lasts.

A Collaborative Neuro-Mythic Series
A long-running ballpoint series exploring identity, transformation, and the psychology of influence.
Bee & Butterfly is our collaborative illustration series built around a simple structure:
a cross-section portrait of an iconic figure — and the symbolic architecture of their inner world.
Each piece pairs portraiture with five conceptual “brain chambers,” where the symbols inside reflect the traits, drives, and mythologies that define that individual. Two elements appear in every work:
-
The Bee — community, devotion, selflessness
-
The Butterfly — metamorphosis, renewal, continual rebirth
Together, they represent what we see as the essential forces behind insight and enlightenment: individual evolution in service of something greater.
The series spans cultural icons, spiritual figures, artists, leaders, rebels, and fictional archetypes — each interpreted through the lenses of neurology, psychology, and modern myth.
This work was the beginning of our collaborative practice. It’s the framework that shaped how we think together, build together, and create meaning through art.
