ARTIST. MUSICIAN. LEGEND.
"Furly" Travis is a native Texas painter and sketch artist. He began sketching in junior high school, and began painting seriously in 1992.
During his TWENTY + years of painting, he has developed a unique style using bold color and a strong sense of visual balance coupled with often dreamlike, sometimes comic themes.

His works have been shown in art spaces all over central Texas, from galleries to boutiques and coffee houses.
His comics and sketches have appeared regularly for many years in the "Proper Gander", San Marcos' own art publication that traveled nationwide to reach art audiences.
He was also the subject for the annual "Proper Gander Furly Portrait Contest", in which the winner got a self portrait by Yours truly.
Throughout the years, Furly has recorded and released 11 albums under his "Unsurpassed Profit" moniker. Warping the minds and melting the faces of any poor soul lucky enough to bless their ears with his grimy, lo-fi psychedelic sound.
