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. For process, timelines, and deliverables, visit the Design FAQ
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.

I’m Malcolm Bellew, and this is misled.media — a (currently) solo Cleveland-based studio working across graphic design, screen printing, illustration, and sound. I’ve been an artist my whole life and a designer for over a decade — top of my class in 2019, with an associate’s in communications focused on graphic design and branding.
I specialize in manual screen printing, custom illustration, and logo design — and I love every part of the creative process. My favorite projects usually sit somewhere between controlled chaos and clean structure — when something looks held together with duct tape but underneath it’s built like The Pyramids.
I can create polished, professional designs when it’s needed, or go gritty and experimental when that’s the move. Either way, it’s a balance between the mess and the math — design that feels human but holds up under pressure.
If you’ve got an idea — whether it’s a logo design, window mural, or custom screen-printed merch — I’ll help you design it, distort it, and duplicate it >>>>

No filters. Just thoughts, lessons, and the messy process of figuring it out. Wins, losses, late nights, and the stuff no one puts in a portfolio. If you’re into art, screen printing, design, or just trying to make something out of nothing—check it out
