Oleksandr But is a visual artist working across illustration, tattooing, and objects. His work focuses on simple characters, quiet moments, and everyday scenes that often feel slightly off or suspended in time.

Originally from Ukraine and now based in Chicago, his visual language grew through years of travel, drawing, and working in tattoo studios across different cities. Influenced by early illustration and traditional tattoo culture, his work blends humor, stillness, and subtle narrative tension.

Through drawings, apparel, prints, and objects, But continues to build a small evolving universe - calm, curious, and intentionally understated.
