About

Jordan Decker is a queer, trans, artist and illustrator that runs Peanut Butter People; an independent publishing and design brand. The name "Peanut Butter People" comes from their dad nicknaming them "Peanut" or "Peanut Butter" when they were a kid. Jordan takes most of their inspiration from their life experiences and leans more autobiographical in their personal work. The main themes they explore in their work are memory, identity, and how they work together to inform one another. Working in both physical and digital media, Jordan aims to make their work as accessible as possible. They believe art should not be something hidden behind a paywall, but something that can be experienced within everyday life which is why mediums like graphic design (an art form experienced by the public) is intriguing to them. Jordan also specializes in printmaking techniques which emphasizes the physicality behind the creation of a piece of art. Holding a physical object is a different experience from viewing a digital piece. However, digital artwork is just as important to Jordan because of the medium's widespread accessibility. Jordan believes wholeheartedly that everyone can create regardless of skill level. Just take a stick and some dirt and go at it, it doesn't need to be pretty.
