Art and Social Justice: Greyson Davis

Greyson Davis, better known in the art community as “HP Fangs” is a Wilmington NC based illustrator. Marked by nostalgic themes, vibrant colors and bold & loose lines, it’s not hard to see that his work has been heavily influenced by 80’s & 90’s pop culture. Even more distinct, is the playfully infectious, giant four toothed smile that’s depicted in almost all of his work. That smile is the hallmark of this former social worker turned middle school art teacher. Not only in his work, but also in his everyday life, “Fangs” is constant champion of positive energy and social involvement, challenging the viewers to “smile and destroy” anything that seeks to bring about negativity. Throughout his career, he’s illustrated several children’s books, worked on large community murals, billboard designs, and most recently he was the art director (as well as contributor) to Wilmington’s giant, 10 x 130ft “End Racism Now” art installation.
