About Leopold

Owner, Artist, Certified Dad Friend & Sleepy Witch

The enigmatic artist and owner behind the Brass Iris & Cosmic Queers is rarely spotted without their ancient metal and glass diary, and digital pen. Tales of their past shroud Knox in a cloud of mystery: some murmur they once guided souls to the underworld, while others believe they summon spirits to aid in their artistry and insane work schedule.

Despite the whispers, Knox’s allure is undeniable, with ghostly influences inspiring them to depict shadowed swords, soft frogs, and ethereal florals. It's rare to see Knox by daylight, fueling legends of cursed blood and nocturnal enchantments. Many have felt a chill upon meeting their gaze, as if they can peer into one's darkest secrets.

But in truth, they’re a gentle spirit, who would delight in arranging a moonlit soirée for ghostly apparitions, and is more startled by a mouse than anyone could be of them.
