Daren Thomas Magee is the illustrator, muralist, and designer behind Real Fun Wow, based in Ojai, California. His work lives somewhere between the natural and the supernatural, the real and the imagined—often landing in that weird, wonderful in-between space. Guided more by intuition than strict plans, Daren’s creative process is fluid, curious, and refreshingly human. He’s the first to admit he doesn’t always know exactly what he’s doing—but that’s kind of the point. What matters most is the freedom to explore, express, and share whatever comes through. Real Fun Wow is his way of inviting people into that journey: a little strange, a little silly, and occasionally profound.

Real Fun, Wow!
"At his core, Daren’s just a guy who loves to make things—and hopes they’ll make you feel something too. It’s a sentiment we, at Archivist, wholeheartedly share."
