If the internet had a fever dream, it would probably look a lot like the work of @iscreamcolour—the alter ego of a visual artist who turns digital art into sensory overload in the best way possible. Known for their candy-coloured chaos, surreal collages, and glitched-out iconography, iScreamColour sits at the intersection of pop culture meltdown and political pop art.



Your art is like a pop culture acid trip—what are your biggest influences and visual obsessions?

Britney Spears, music videos, bootleg merch, protest signs, and anything that feels sugary but subversive. I love playing with the tension between cute and chaotic, glossy and raw. It’s pop overload on purpose.



How do you hope people feel when they encounter your work for the first time?

Like they just scrolled into a dream—something nostalgic, maybe weird, but definitely alive. I want it to hit an emotional nerve. Joy, discomfort, recognition—anything but neutral.



Have you ever had work taken down or censored?

A few years ago I did a Pride collaboration with Target, and there was controversy because some Trump supporters got upset—even though the artwork was literally just happy characters celebrating Pride. Target ended up pulling some of the merch. It was disappointing to see something joyful become a target for hate.



How do you navigate creating provocative imagery online?

With humor, honesty, and heart. I’m not trying to shock for the sake of it—everything I post comes from a real place. If it makes people laugh, question, or feel seen, then it’s doing its job.



You’ve created both digital pieces and physical prints—how do those formats change your process or intention?

Digital work lets me be fast, loud, and layered—total sensory chaos. Physical prints slow me down and make me think more about texture, space, and intention. Each format brings out something different creatively.


What’s next for iScreamColour? Any dream collaborations or future projects in the works?

I’d love to work with musicians, do animated visuals, or collab with brands that aren’t afraid to get bold and playful. I want to keep pushing the line between art, pop, and activism—with candy coating, of course.
