Tyler Johnson is an Atlanta-based artist, illustrator, and graphic designer working under the name Mister Hipster Designs. Blending digital illustration, hand-drawn imagery, and acrylic painting, Johnson creates vibrant works that combine graphic precision with playful visual storytelling and expressive color relationships.

Originally trained and employed as a corporate graphic designer, Johnson later transitioned toward a more personal and exploratory studio practice after relocating to Georgia to be closer to family. Inspired in part by inheriting his mother’s unused art materials, he began teaching himself acrylic painting as a deeply personal creative outlet, eventually expanding that process into a broader independent artistic practice.

His work frequently features bold linework, harmonized palettes, and character-driven compositions that balance design structure with spontaneity and emotional warmth. Active within Atlanta’s independent arts community, Johnson regularly exhibits through local creative spaces and regional maker events while continuing to develop a multidisciplinary practice rooted in creativity, resilience, and personal reinvention.
