Born and raised in Wichita Falls, Caldwell started drawing in 3rd grade. Caldwell started off with Garfield, Calvin and Hobbs, and Ninja Turtles, and today, he primarily draws comic book genre art. He says if he can brighten someone's day with something he has drawn, it's all worth it.

Anthony David Campos was born in Los Angeles, California, but moved to Wichita Falls, Texas in 2021. In 1994, he began expressing himself through art. Although he showed early talent, he didn’t really explore the arts and hone his skill until 2016. Since then, he’s been pursuing it passionately. The medium he prefers is oil paints and he uses different techniques, such as glazing and wet-on-wet to create his images. Anthony is a creative, self-taught painter who matured his craft by watching others who have inspired him, especially his mother. He’s learned from and has been influenced by the paintings of Robert Peterson, an artist based out in Lawton, OK, as well as Monica Ikegwu, Floyd Strickland, and Kahinde Wiley.

“I’m passionate about spreading messages to the world that will uplift humankind to spread love, unity, kindness, care, ambition and positivity and I believe one ultimate way to do that is to show it through yourself first, one person at a time, either through our work or daily positive habits, morals, and values. Working collectively, interdependently, and unselfishly will always be a way forward. My goal is to make a huge impact on every person’s life I come across. May that impact create a smile.” ~Anthony Campos

It started out with love notes to my babysitter and letters to George Lucas. It then became writing short stories about Indiana Jones’s nephew Alabama Jones as a kid. It continued through journalism classes and papers in college. Even as a teacher, trying to foster a love for writing or at least being able to use a comma in a STAAR essay. I published a book about teaching and building relationships called "Silver Bullet Classroom Management." My whole life I’ve been a writer, storyteller. After 13 years of teaching, I left the classroom to bet on my writing, my podcast and myself. A coming age tale at 40 years old amidst a pandemic.

I participated in Storytellers for Wichita Falls Museum of Art at MSU Texas and wrote “Pet of the Month” features for Wichita Falls Neighbors with the hopes of turning all these foster dog stories into a book. I’ve grown my writing through Writers League of Texas courses in Memoir, taught a class for teens about creativity, and help others with their writing.

Going to the movies has always been a sanctuary. I even proposed at the Alamo Drafthouse. My wife and I have a podcast called Mac N Cheese Movies where we cook a dish in the film or related to the film, watch the movie and talk about both. The podcast has grown through the Artist Development Program. I got a website off the ground for the podcast. There have been tie-ins with regional museums to promote their exhibitions. In 2022, I was able to go to Podcast Movement, a conference for podcasting to learn, network and grow Mac N Cheese Movies. At over 100 episodes and a website, I’m ready to see what this baby can do.

I am a mixed media artist who has been exhibited in the Memento Show from 2020-2022.

In 2022, I did an artist residency about Booker T. Washington High School, helping Brenda Jarrett with her book on the school and East Side of Wichita Falls. I recorded interviews and helped set up some organization to help bring her work to life.

Writing, podcasts and art were always side hustles, hobbies and long shots. 2020 made me recalibrate what I want out of my life and it’s to take things off the backburner that I’m passionate about.

I am a recent Midwestern State University graduate. I completed my degree with a BFA-TC and my emphasis was painting. Now, I am seeking to further my art career and take hold of opportunities that will aid me in doing so. My art is usually focused on BIPOC people and their voices. Yet, as someone who is also a part of that community, I also share my own voice in my works as well. I also speak on the topic of mental health. I like using contrasting sets of colors such as greyscale versus vibrant pastel tones.

My art reflects what is going on with me, how I feel about our culture, environment, and social interactions. I primarily work with steel which I fabricate and weld into art pieces. Many of my pieces include found metal pieces that are incorporated into the piece. I am also an oil painter.

My studio, "Paper Clay and Paint" is located at 530 Seventh Street, Suite 102 in Downtown Wichita Falls.
