Charlie Wagers

Pittsburgh, PA

b. 1987

Bio

Charlie Wagers is a graphic artist & designer, the product of gray Midwestern skies and a blue-collar, Rust Belt aesthetic. Formally trained in fine arts, he draws inspiration from the antique and arcane: early printing techniques, vintage cameras and films, aged textures, forgotten books, and—oddly enough—old neon signs. Raised on a cattle farm in rural Kentucky, Charlie forged a deep connection with nature, and today, he still spends much of his time outdoors, hiking or riding his bike in search of new colors and contrasts. He has worked for clients including Apple, Disney, ESPN, National Geographic, the NFL, and Warner Brothers, and a massive roster of bands, such as Dave Matthews Band, Alabama Shakes, Kelly Clarkson, The Fray, and The Black Keys. He currently lives in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he divides his time between constant travel, playing pinball, and his vinyl record collection.
