Who M!SCRE8 and this Lil' Art Bodega?
Originally from the vibrant streets of Harlem, New York, she now creates from the captivating desert landscape of Las Vegas, Nevada, blending urban energy with East Coast influence.
M!SCRE8 is urban visual artist Tanya Watler, known for bold, feel-good artwork rooted in graffiti, abstraction, and hip-hop culture. With over 25 years in the creative industry, her work blends playful lettering, vibrant color palettes, and positive messaging across physical and digital mediums.
Lil Art Bodega (L.A.B.) is her made-to-order online art destination—where one-of-a-kind pieces, limited editions, live art, and creative content come together. Built on originality, accessibility, and sustainability, L.A.B. delivers expressive art designed to uplift and connect—IRL and online.
Our mission is to provide customers, art enthusiasts, and followers with products and services that radiate joy, positivity, and creative energy. While 90's street culture inspired the creation of LIL ART BODEGA, offering a variety of services and merchandise, the brand has since evolved to include high-end products.
curating clever, positive phrasing, versatile color palettes, and a distinctive blend of abstract and graffiti-inspired urban styles. Deeply influenced by letters, cartoons, and hip-hop culture, her artistic journey spans a wide range of mediums—including acrylics, paper, spray paint, inks, and digital drawing. Select works extend beyond the canvas, coming to life through augmented reality and immersive art installations.
After thriving as a brick-and-mortar art studio, supply shop, and gallery from 2010 to present, Lil Art Bodega has evolved into a streaming service and online business with a private studio IRL. This transition reflects a renewed quality of life and creative mindset. Join me as I step into this exciting new chapter of 2026 Lil Art Bodega.

thA Love of my Art
Leaving my mark on society through art isn’t about criticism or controversy; it’s about spreading smiles, laughter, and a sense of well-being for people of all ages. Somewhere along the way, we’ve forgotten the art of feeling good and the importance of self-love. My artwork is motivated by the desire to inspire joy
