About Griffin Ess
"A comically wide web of knowledge and connections" - Archer Ezra
Griffin is a figurative painter with a degree in forensic psychology.
His passion is stimulating the creativity of others and connecting folks of various backgrounds to help cross-pollinate their inspirations.
His proudest accomplishment is being referred to as a Fairy God Brother.
Based in Boston, MA.
Aside from a vast collection of watercolor art made over the years, he's recently returned to oil painting. His ongoing output of commissioned work is interrupted only by work on his Create-Art-Repeat podcast where various creatives are interviewed towards normalizing the non-linear paths to success and the ubiquitous struggles that come with creation. He also accidentally spent the past four years creating his own watercolor kit which is now in production and available for purchase.
