About Neon Viking

Hey there! I am Neon Viking, aka Dane Kulpa. I have lived many lives before reaching this one. I grew up in Phoenix, AZ and it was only until fate redirected me from a path towards being a lawyer that I began living this life. I was a bit creative as a child, but I spent most of my adolescence and young adult life in speech and debate and becoming an attorney. Misadventures in the legal world, led me to find peace and strength in the outdoors. Near South Mountain, AZ, that appreciation blossomed into a bit of an obsession. My Dad gave me a set of alcohol markers and I turned amateur doodles into postcards, then small art projects, and now something of which I am truly proud. I can only guess where this journey is going to take me. But I am pretty stoked to be sharing my art and my journeys along the way. 

For me, the mountains are heavenly. Here on earth, we are surrounded by the beauty of the divine. My most profound connections with the universe begin with the mountains. They've inspired me and are the reason this art exists. I speak with the mountains regularly and we've been working on my hopes and dreams. We're making great progress! Adventures abound and art is flourishing.

I recently was featured in the Voyage Utah Magazine in an article entitled "Conversations with Dane Kulpa." You can read the article here.
