Christopher Gendron - http://artmuffin.com/

Christopher Gendron (a.k.a. ARTmuffin):

ARTmuffin is a Northampton artist often tucked away in a room while
scribbling, painting, and writing of their channeled mysteries and
mystical journeys into the cosmic subconscious. This InkTober 2020
will prove to be a fun and hopefully rewarding journey into a new mind
that ARTmuffin is experiencing for their first time along with the
viewer. This new mind is our shared mind during a worldwide pandemic.
The focus of the art and subject matter is still to be determined at
the time of writing this bio, but is leaning heavily in the direction
of an oracle deck. Time will soon tell what is truly born of this
event. That being said, ARTmuffin is looking forward to joining you on
this journey, your first pandemic journey together.

For proof that ARTmuffin exists you can find their work in the past in
various galleries and shops around New England. You can see proof of
their more current work on their website and other social media
locations as listed below.
