Artist Emoji Bio: Scorpion Dagger 🛀🏼💭🦂

How do you describe an artist like Scorpion Dagger?
His work fuses Renaissance imagery with internet culture, mixing satire, absurdity, and a touch of the uncomfortably familiar. So when we asked him to sum himself up using only emojis, we knew it would be anything but ordinary.

What we got was an emoji poem; a self-aware snapshot of the world he’s been building.

Here it is:

If surreal Renaissance art got a glow-up, learned to 🕺🏻, picked up a 🌭 habit, and dropped a mixtape hotter than 🌋, you'd get Scorpion Dagger.

Behind that 🍕 face and 🍑 hides a provocateur with a 🏒 nose, shedding a single ❄️ tear.


He’s got stories in his 🥟, secrets in his 🥑, and fire in his 🩻.

A little 🔞, a little 🛀🏼, and always listening to 💭.

He’s a night 🦂, part-time 🗡.


It’s as if 🖼 met 🍺 and ran it through a glitch filter.
