Kobi LaCroix is the pseudonym of Matthew J. Johnson, musician and graphic artist.

His art is marked by meticulous production, fluid forms, bold colors, expressive characters, elements of playful whimsy, psychedelia, and bizarre mutation. He specializes in character portraits of an anthropomorphic nature, portraying not only his characters' appearances, but impressions of their personalities and inherent symbology. Influences include Roger Dean, Trisha Wilson, and Amara Telgemeier.

His music is very similar to his art: meticulous, colorful, and whimsical, with gratuitous combinations of elements not normally associated with each other. He is very much a child of 1970's progressive rock, somehow transplanted in the 21st century schizoid man. His main musical tool is the keyboard, citing progressive rock keyboard vanguards such as Rick Wakeman and Keith Emerson as influences. His voice has been described as "similar to Michael McDonald" and "perfect for lounge singing", which is a bit of a backhanded compliment, since he'd much rather sing Tool's "Prison Sex" than blue-eyed schmaltz like "What a Fool Believes". That being said, his original, finished pieces are very few. Most of his output has consisted of experimental clips of cover songs. He is, if you'll pardon the cliché, still "finding his voice", and learning mostly through experimentation.
