“I am Christy Lee, better known as Christybomb, a visual artist based out of Jacksonville Beach, Florida. My artistic creations draw inspiration from the happiness, innocence and youthful fantasies of my childhood, like Candyland, Hello Kitty and Willy Wonka. At the same time, my work is also influenced by over-the-top trends and looks of avant-garde fashion, cosplay and drag queens.
An important aspect of my work involves incorporating unconventional materials such as googly eyes, pipe cleaners and glitter. The idea of making something out of nothing—with ingredients that are largely frivolous or even throwaway in nature—fascinates me to no-end and influences my work. My mission is to create circus-like mosaics that are textural, colorful, bright and bold—electric kaleidoscopes of layers, colors and materials—radiating heat, excitement and vitality.” - Christybomb
