Dustin klein works between several different mediums often at the same time. Ranging from painting, clothing design, lettering, film making, graphic art to tattooing.

Klein's work is process based developed through intuition, tactile experience, and concentrated meditations. These elements culminate into results that are often a non-representational expression of process.

Dklein is a key member in modern cycling culture. (Founding Cadence Collection in 2003, Original Mash sf Member, Fast Friday and Everything’s Been Done series.)

Throughout his career he has continually intermixed the 2 disciplines of creating and cycling. Each aspect informs and influences the other.

On Making

Physicality of creating works is as vital as the visual results that follow. There are multiple elements at play for each piece that I create. For example the works on human skin or Permanent Markings are not pre drawn and simply traced. Each piece has a guide or road map that sets the direction of the work. The process of creating these are done in the moment informed by the environment, the client and myself. Together we create the finished piece.
