Exquisite Corpse Studio

Artists + Musicians + Designers
It’s all about working together.

Exquisite Co**se Studio is named after the Victorian parlor game—built on collaboration, unpredictability, and trust in the process.

I’m not here to impose a style. I’m here to translate one. To take someone’s idea, their voice, their weird little specifics—and build something that still feels like them, just sharper, clearer, more alive.

I don’t see design as ownership. It’s translation. Sometimes excavation—pulling something half-buried back into the light and restoring it as close to its original form as possible.

Give me a rough idea, a mood, a half-formed thought…I’ll meet you there and shape it into something real.

Call it instinct. Call it problem-solving. Call it Human Intelligence.

Either way, Empathy is still a vital component.

For now.

This was such a fun project to be a part of. Dax’s ideas are always dark, but never dull. Just the kind of work I enjoy. Thanks for trusting me with your vision—time and time again 💀🖤

Dax: “Can you turn the blood all the way up?”
Me: “I most certainly can.”
Dax threw out the idea—I ran with it. Still one of my favorites. Made a while ago, but posters are alive and well at daxriggs.com.

To be tasked with the recreation of old Acid Bath merch is still just crazy to me. Never thought a reunion would actually happen, much less to be involved in even the smallest way. Let the blackness roll on!official .official

My Talented Family: Part II

We’re family, and music runs deep in our blood.
