Trenton Doyle Hancock

Painter and printmaker

United States · b. 1974

Trenton Doyle Hancock is an American artist. He was born in 1974 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and grew up in Paris, Texas. He makes prints, videos, drawings, sculptures, individual performances, and collaged felt paintings. Hancock is known for his visual work that focuses on the Mounds and the Vegans, two forces that are constantly dueling with one another and serve as a representation of the eternal battle between good and evil. When asked about the variety of inspiration fueling his work, Hancock says, "I wanted to see how many different ways I could extend my personality or my identity into my work—whether it be painting, printmaking, drawing comics, sculpture, or ballet—just a myriad of different things. I find that to be more truthful than not."

Question What do you do when you feel creatively blocked or stuck? Craft & work read 32 other answers →
I think once an artist or musician reaches a certain level of mastery, you can just do it on autopilot. My hand can keep moving and I can be making things, and on the outside I can be like, “This looks really cool” but I’m really just bored with it. I can draw this face or an eyeball or whatever in my sleep, and it’s not interesting to me. A creative block to me just means getting bored with myself. Those are those moments where you have to shake it up or do some introspection, or simply take a break. Sometimes I read a book or go to the movies, have my favorite meal, or go on a trip.
