design x distort x duplicate

design

Design turns ideas into tangible visuals — custom illustrations, logo design, merch graphics, murals, curated artwork, and cohesive packaging systems. Built from hand-drawn foundations and refined digitally, every project blends structure, contrast, and storytelling to create branding that feels real, not templated.

distort

Distort pushes past clean. Inspired by guitar gain, over-saturation, collage, and warped pop culture imagery, it embraces grit, texture, and raw composition. This is graphic design turned loud — imperfect, amplified, and intentional.

duplicate

Duplicate with hands-on screen printing and print fulfillment — manual press, water-based ink, slightly off-center, fully human. From custom t-shirts and posters to DTF (Direct-to-Film) and HTV (Heat Transfer Vinyl), every print balances craftsmanship with scalable production.

Cleveland based Artist

misled.media

I'm Malcolm Bellew.

I make art, design stuff, print shirts, paint walls, and mess around with sound. Misled.Media is just me, working out of Cleveland.

I've been making things for as long as I can remember. Sometimes it's logos, sometimes it's illustrations, sometimes it's merch, murals, or whatever weird project lands in my inbox. I like figuring things out and making them real.

There's not much of a pitch here.

Look around. Hopefully something resonates with you. Maybe you like what I make. Maybe you don't. Either way, thanks for stopping by and taking the time to check it out.

If you want to work together, you know where to find me.design it, distort it, duplicate it >>>>
