Auction history
Anthony Bartley
Anthony is a Chicago-based visual artist and founder of HAPPY Days Apparel. After a mental health crisis in college led him to discover art as a form of therapy, it quickly became both a personal outlet and a way to connect with others. His work ranges from portraiture and collage exploring the Black community’s relationship with media like anime and comics, to colorful, emotional illustrations. Through projects like FadingRoyalty and his fashion brand, Anthony uses art to express, reflect, and spark conversation around mental health.
