Milo K. Rourke

Milo K. Rourke is a self-taught American mixed-media artist known for scratchy, distressed illustrations that mix cartoon imagery with the texture of old signs, stained paper, rust, and street debris. Raised around repair shops, alleys, diners, and industrial lots, Rourke developed a fascination with worn objects and overlooked places. His work uses ink, acrylic, grease pencil, dry brush, and digital layering, often leaving scratches, smears, uneven lines, and exposed marks intact.
