About the Artist

Black Ice is our collective's unofficial name. We're a collection of artists based in NJ who artistically grew up together. We're overly familiar with each other's work and have learned how we work well together. Though our journey as artists are independent, we all are connected through our time at the Trenton Circus Squad.
