Tindel just creates. He tried the fine art world but was too stubborn to write an artist statement. His grandma gave him his powers and he creates art in Atlanta, GA, U.S.A. Please enjoy his art and merch.

About John Tindel: Atlanta based visual artist & fine art muralist
John Tindel is an Atlanta-based artist and designer whose large-scale paintings and murals feel like contemporary puzzles—multilayered, multicolored worlds built from myth, place, and pattern. Rooted in the “Dirty South,” he uses sharp wit and visual storytelling to explore and lovingly critique Southern identity, pulling from personal history, family phrases, and regional idioms as living source material.

A go-to gift for anyone who reps the A.
The newest edition to the collection. This ATL lightning bolt pin catches light like a prism, with opal glitter enamel that shifts color every time you move.

Every pin is designed by John Tindel in Atlanta and produced in limited runs.
