Cluster Funk Studio

Cluster Funk Studio is an eclectic mix of illustration, design, and printmaking. Artist and designer, Brooke Brown, uses limited color palettes, textures, and layers to create a midcentury printing press aesthetic mixed with contemporary themes. She hand draws everything in Illustrator and Photoshop. Brown explores mythology, spirituality, the supernatural, art history, science/nature, and femininity in her works. Most include a subtle sense of humor to create unique pieces for every home. She is most known for her art nouveau saint and tarot cards featuring powerful women as well as her invasion series. This series features illustrations of architecture and landscapes mixed with sci-fi characters and monsters. Brown's work includes posters, cards, postcards, prints, linocuts, and stickers. Everything is archival and printed with love in her studio and print shop in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Brooke Brown

Brooke NaeCole Craig Brown is the owner and creator behind Cluster Funk Studio. Brown is a classically trained conceptual artist receiving her BFA with a concentration in Photography and Media Arts. Brown’s work is varied but focuses on perception of self through the lens of disease. This practice led her to pursue her MFA to continue her studies to become a professor and working artist. While in graduate school, she received a medical diagnosis that altered every aspect of her life. She was forced to come home and spend several months in bed. During this time she was told she’d never be able to go back to school or work a normal job so she had to come up with a plan b. So, while bed ridden, Brown taught herself graphic design and illustration. She developed her own unique style and Cluster Funk Studio was born. Brown is a freelance graphic designer working for several large and small company’s including Eccolo. She has exhibited throughout the United States including the Frist Center for the Visual Arts in Nashville, Tennessee and is sold in stores throughout the United States and Canada.
