Welcome — I’m Christopher R. Clilverd, the artist behind Hoke Studio and Christian Verdi.

Everything you see here has been created by me, often with the support of AI-powered tools — used not to replace creativity, but to enhance the process. I combine traditional design skills, digital composition, and a strong editorial eye to produce artwork with soul, texture, and story.

Hoke Studio is where bold ideas take shape — from graffiti-style canvases and pop culture portraits to stylised silhouettes and modernist forms. Whether it’s a piece inspired by street culture, vintage nostalgia, or visual abstraction, it’s always made to provoke thought and bring character to your wall.

You’ll often find a hidden bunny in my work, usually amongst the chaos of the graffiti artworks — a playful mark of authenticity and the unofficial mascot of the studio.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you find something here that speaks to you.

Hoke Studio, Verdi Art, and Christian Verdi are the trading names I use for the work I create.
