We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Trinity Griffith a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Trinity thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. We’d love to hear about a project that you’ve worked on that’s meant a lot to you.

I have a couple projects that stick out to me, back in September of last year I had the immense pleasure of doing a gig poster for at Hardlove where all of my friends played the bill, one of them being a rather rare appearance especially. Los Muertos, an incredible cumbia band made up of various friends from the music scene and other bands i.e. Liza Attic, Las Olas & more. Armadillo Operator, one of my personal favorite local bands and some of my dearest friends, and Grey Filters, who’s appearances are rare but shouldn’t be missed. They lean on the heavier side for those interested. The art itself was inspired by old black light posters, as well as old monster comics. Being the show was in October and there was a costume contest, it leant itself well to the concept. The lettering on this piece was all done by hand, I wanted the band names to kind of flow with the smoke coming out of the cauldron but still be the main focal point of the poster. This one was drawn entirely on procreate from start to finish.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

Hi! My name is Trinity, I’ve been making gig posters, album/single covers, logos & more for the local Jax music scene since 2024. I’ve been making art my whole life but had never thought about making show posters or taking commissions until I got really into some of the bands from the late 60’s San Francisco scene and began to see posters from those times. The art of Stanley Mouse, Rick Griffin, Alton Kelley, and others. That’s where it really blew my mind and I ran with it. I pull inspiration from all sorts of places, I enjoy comic books, weird movies, and just art in general. I design most of my work using procreate, but do make physical pieces from time to time or if commissioned! You can always find me on instagram @fuzztrin and contact me there or via email if you have any questions!

Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?

Mainly I just love being involved in the local art & music scene, there’s just so many incredible, talented, knowledgeable people around and it’s such a blast getting to know everyone and making art for so many amazing people, venues, bands, and the community. Being able to make a poster for a call show or design a sticker or shirt for a local bands I dig is a really rewarding thing all on it’s own. I am grateful for every opportunity I get.

Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?

Having to unlearn wanting perfection was a big one for me. It would stop me dead in my tracks at times and leave me unable to finish a piece. I had to learn how to enjoy my art for how it was, organic and unique to me. My art may not be perfect to a technical standpoint, but I am happy with the things I make which has allowed me to create more and overthink it less.
