Excited to introduce “Get Free” — a new KO x Kiser print
This work recontextualizes historical symbols of power to center lived experience, community and the ongoing pursuit of collective liberation. The copper diadem of Liberty becomes an adornment of contemporary Black womanhood— bridging monumental history with urban sovereignty.
Rendered in a bold, high-contrast graphic style, each element is distilled to its essence. The message remains: Get Free.
Now available, link in bio.
A portion of proceeds will be donated to GirlTrek—a movement of 1M+ Black women walking for joy and justice.
The second print run, if you missed last years art book release.
Pre-order link is in my bio.
20 years. 200 pages.
XX (twenty) by Marcus Kiser is a visual anthology that spans two decades of artistict evolution. Known for blending design, iconography, and illustration, Kiser’s work transcends the boundaries between art and storytelling. This collection showcases his journey through twenty years of dope projects, XX invites readers into Kiser’s world, where each creation tells its own story, weaving together themes of resilience, identity, and community.
Dear 2025, each place I touched added wisdom and clarity to my purpose. I carried stories across borders, listening, learning, and letting community shape the work as much as I shaped it. Every space, conversation, and shared moment reminded me that creativity is not static—it travels, evolves, and connects us. This year affirmed that art lives in motion, rooted in culture, memory, and the dope people I met along the way
