Hermes Giles is a queer twin cities based artist. They have been drawing since they were in high school, and fell in love. They started out simply wanting to re-imagine and illustrate the characters they loved, but realized that they wanted to do more than that. So, they followed that path to becoming a professional artist.
They are primarily a digital artist with work that ranges from illustrations to photography. They are often inspired by the macabre and the cute, something they incorporate into their work. They have a particular fondness for tarot inspired work and playing around with the themes, as shown by their multiple projects surrounding the subject matter. Two of those projects are their photography project Upright and Reversed and a re-imagining of the Death card in the form of a birthday card.
Currently, they are a Junior at Minneapolis College of Art and Design, working towards a BFA. They are majoring in Illustration, and working to minor in Entrepreneurial studies to be a double threat. They have done work that was displayed to fellow employees at the Wedge Co-op, done an illustration for the MCAD Summer Zine in 2022, participated in the MCAD Art Sale for two years and vended at the Autonomous Zine fest.
