Artist. Builder. Midwest Native.

 

I’m Jonny Enslow.

 

I was raised in the fields and factories of the Midwest. I grew up fixing what was broken, cleaning up what others left behind, and learning early that beauty doesn't always wear clean lines.

​

Art found me in the in-between spaces, during long shifts, in sketchbooks stained by grease and ink. I studied at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, but most of what shaped me came from playing music in dive bars, cleaning homes, late nights in the shop, waking up early in the fields, sketching in break rooms, and building things no one else ever saw.

​

I’ve written songs in basements, carved ideas into scrap metal, coded my way through chaos, stitched clothes from castoffs, and bound stories into zines and prints. I created animated short films and worked in cultural and heritage preservation, archiving centuries of creative vision while shaping my own. I’ve found rhythm in repetition, beauty in the backroads, and spirit in the places most people overlook.

 

I use whatever I can to process and communicate, pens, machines, guitars, code. Anything that lets me build, break, rebuild, and understand the world around me.

 

Frog Eater is what I call the thing that came out of that mess. It's not a logo slapped on shirts. It’s a vessel for my creative output, zines, clothing, drawings, objects, and stories that carry the dust, noise, and strange poetry of the places I’ve lived and the people I've known.

​

This is where the work lives. Some of it’s raw. Some of it’s refined.
