The Artwork of Travis Trium Perfectum
I recently sat down with Canvas Rebel to discuss the risk of being an artist and my journey to this point. I get into my process, the way I view the creative experience and why I do what I do. I was pleased with the conversation and feel like I always learn a little more about myself with these questions of introspection. I hope you enjoy this look into who I am and what I do.

GRIND is a cosmic horror comedy about a group of college students holding a grindhouse film festival. The students uncover a cursed arthouse film called The Creeping Chaos and make the mistake of playing the film and unleashing absolute chaos. Travis Trium Perfectum was approached by writer/director Mark Cantu about getting involved in the film and it was a rather short conversation. "Crossing paths with Mark this past year was a great thing, said Perfectum. He came out to my art exhibition and seemed to have a direction in mind for GRIND that he thought I was a great fit......

After finally being somewhat recovered after the largest workload of my art career, it's now a pleasure to look back on what was Technicolor Hellscape. This exhibition pushed me further and further as a creator and the challenges were extreme.
