Dustin McNa at Fashion Denver’s summer fashion market BOUNCE!

Dustin McNa is a local Denver, Colorado artist whose works will be featured this Sunday, June 3rd at Bounce! Fashion Denver’s Summer Market.  He creates handmade and hand bleached bags with signature works painted on them.  Because his works are individual and have a signature style, many designs are unmatched and very rarely are there any reproductions with exception to gallery shows and t-shirt designs.  Coming from a family of artists, McNa is self-taught and he loves to be creative and tries to push the idea of what art is and how it is seen to the masses.  He works with customers and listens to their wants while providing his input alongside the customer to make a one-of-a-kind piece.
