Illustrator and muralist Brett Toukatly (a.k.a. TWOKAT a.k.a. “The Glorp Lord”) is known for his bold, colorful work and iconic “glorpy” style – a term that is telling of his out-of-the-box approach, but illustrates TWOKAT’s “melty” style of drawing recurring themes of teeth, skulls and hands.

TWOKAT’s collaboration with Wooden Robot Brewery and fellow Charlotte creatives last year took his passion to the next level. He wanted to spark support for the creative community as the Queen City continues to expand.
That vision came to life with the first AstroPop Mural + Music Festival at The Chamber at Wooden Robot in 2021.
TWOKAT approached his employer, Wooden Robot, with the idea and got them on board to host and support the event. TWOKAT took it from there – curating the artist lineup and designing the merch and marketing materials for the event which featured:
