Frog and Mantis started out as a passion project from local artists, Kody Goudie and Bellie Peters. In 2021 they began printing their own artwork. As they met other artists they offered to do the same for them, and while responses were enthusiastic very few took them up on it. Then one day Kody and Bellie, acknowledging the community's desire and need, decided to make it an official business that was reliable and accessible to all the local artists. They began to market Frog and Mantis to the local art community and turned it into a thriving small business.

 

Now a treasured business that serves the FXBG art community Frog and Mantis has become a true staple. As it grew though, Kody and Bellie’s other aspirations did too. So they came to the decision to close shop, but hoped to find someone who could carry on what they had built. That is when Mischa Montrose, a local artist, reached out with interest. Kody and Mischa eagerly struck a deal to keep Frog and Mantis alive. While Bellie has stepped away completely, Kody has stayed on to be our treasured legacy advisor. And Mischa has taken on the role of owner, printer, consultant, and all things Frog and Mantis. While some things have changed, Frog and Mantis continues to be by artists for artists and is primed to print for you!
