Talon Tuxill

I am a Washington-born, Montana-grown guy with a fascination for the arts and a knack for crafting. I found my passion for stop motion set designing when I was eleven years old. I started recreating entire miniature scaled sets of my favorite television shows for my sister’s doll collection out of scrap items from my father’s workshop. I graduated from high school winning my fair share of awards and achievements in poetry, dancing, horseback riding, and submitted art works. But after the devastation of 9-11, my art passion took a backseat when I enlisted in the United States Air Force and served as a military aircraft and vehicles maintainer. But I never lost the need to create. During the time I served, I spent my down time creating tattoo designs. After four years and an honorable discharge, I settled back in my hometown of Missoula Montana, as a single parent and tried to adjust to civilian life while wrangling a vivacious toddler. After a few years of self-refinement, I traded my pay roll for a #2 pencil, and returned to school at the University of Montana. Now four years later, I've graduated with a BFA in Media Arts. I still pride myself on my military core values and apply my attention for detail to all my forms of artwork.
