Embracing Resilience

Our Creative Beginning

Tragic Studio 804 is a family- and veteran-owned business that has evolved through our drive of creativity, resilience, and a deep commitment to turning negative energy into positivity. Though our artistic inspirations can be dark and tragic, our focus is always on resilience. We aim to celebrate life, embrace uniqueness, and foster inclusivity through love, compassion, and creative expression. For over a year, we've been proudly sharing our one-of-a-kind creations across the RVA, FXBG, and surrounding areas at small- and large-scale events featuring focal points of unique artistry.

Our Influences & Offerings

Our influences are diverse, shaped by world travels and life experiences, and we pride ourselves on working with a variety of mediums rather than focusing on a single specialty. This flexibility allows us to accommodate a wide array of custom requests, ensuring that every item we create is as unique as the individual it’s made for. We take great pride in the fact that no two pieces are alike, and each item is crafted with our client’s personal vision in mind. We look forward to collaborating with you and turning your ideas into a tangible creation that reflects your individuality.

At Tragic Studio 804, we celebrate the beauty in sophisticated imperfection. Curated by visionary designer Krystal Casey, our studio blends Gothic/Horror inspired aesthetics with vintage sophistication, creating timeless pieces that tell a story of depth, resilience, and allure.

We craft a variety of items from mix media oddities, laser and hand wood burned home decor items - art, hand crafted jewelry, embroidery (textile art) fashion wear, white toner transfer apparel, shoe wings, and 3D Story board Art. Each creation is meticulously crafted to resonate with those who embrace their individuality and seek to express their unique narrative.

Our product offerings expand frequently, and we do accommodate special requests based on our family member and tooling capabilities. We take pride in creating each item to be unique while meeting our client's special requests. With this in mind no two items are ever a like and are truly unique just like each of our clients.

Our First Year In A Glance

Over the past year, our journey has revealed just how unique our artistic concepts are within the local community of artists, crafters, and small businesses. This has opened up incredibly rewarding opportunities to connect with and build friendships with many in our community who inspire us creatively. We’ve had the pleasure of participating in numerous art events, sharing our creations with new audiences, and collaborating with other artists to bring fresh, innovative pieces to life.

Our work can also be found at Madame’s Oddities and Possum-bilities in FXBG, allowing us to share our passion and artistry with an even broader audience.
