A Southern California fine artist and designer blending
photorealistic drawing, pop imagery, acrylic and resin into
work where the bright and dark parts of life collide.
01
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA MADE
Hunter Blaze Pearson is a fine artist and designer
who was born, raised and remains based in Southern
California.
The region’s mix of pop culture, music, fashion,
street-level creativity and polished commercial design
forms part of the environment surrounding his work.
02
IT STARTED WITH THE SHOES
Hunter first became widely known for his custom-painted
shoe work.
The detailed, one-of-a-kind pieces attracted high-profile
clients including Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo.
REGULAR SHOES HAD THEIR CHANCE.
03
FROM FOOTWEAR TO THE MAIN STAGE
After seeing Hunter’s custom work, Adam Levine hired
him to design concert merchandise for Maroon 5.
That opportunity led to additional design projects for
organizations including Ultimate Ears, Jack Daniel’s
and Happy Faced.
04
THE FINE ART COMES FIRST
While his commercial design work reaches a broad
audience, Hunter’s primary focus remains fine art.
He creates pop-art paintings and large-scale multimedia
works that combine highly controlled technique with
bold materials and recognizable cultural imagery.
05
PENCIL, PAINT AND RESIN
Hunter works across acrylic paint, colored pencil
and resin.
He is especially recognized for his photorealistic
pencil work, which he layers with acrylic and resin
to create pieces with depth, gloss, texture and
visual tension.
06
WHERE LIGHT MEETS DARK
Hunter uses contrasting materials and imagery to
examine the lighter and darker aspects of life.
Rather than keeping those forces separate, he explores
where they overlap and how their collision can become
the foundation for something unexpectedly beautiful.
