LOST LOGIK

..i moved into another playground about 3 weeks ago. Today was the first day i got to do any type of art. Life’s been a whirlwind as of late. A beautiful twisty thing life is. I’ll probably paint over this horrendous painting - but it was well needed for the soul. More art on the way. - #art #artist #chicago #sostlouis (at South Loop, Chicago) https://www.instagram.com/p/B11qZWshqb4/?igshid=vgfibrwu8mxi

..wild Irish roses, the movie. starring @smino coming soon, jk. - that time i went back home in #stlouis to shoot the guy Smino Brown perform at @thepageantstl.

..that time i modeled for @nike. - the homies and me did this for their SNKR app. I’m still unpublished tho bc they chose to go with the ppl wearing AirMax’s - which i totally would’ve worn instead of my mix match Jordan 1s with the paint drip. - photographer: @stefanklapko curated by: @pherolive client: @nike @nikechicago - #art #artist #chicago #nike #sostlouis #sneakers #kicks (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1PjIbuheB2/?igshid=sbt2j8pntxis

..over 30 days in Japan before 30. - by this monumental age i wanted to accomplish a few things & tbh i basically checked off every box. In order to strive to the levels i for-see in my future - i needed to obtain a worldly perspective. I wandered around to open my mind; challenging the status quo of my reality. Also, i met some of the coolest people on the planet. Did some live painting, photoshoots, traveled from Tokyo to Hiroshima and everywhere in between. I also didn’t have any responsibilities the entire time since i what my job half way through my trip. - Fuckin aye, I’m 30. Many more travels and business ventures to come. I appreciate the love, support and the happy birthdays. I love you all. I’m bout to get lit. Like lit lit.

..today’s my last day in my 20s. - It’s crazy that I’m cashing in another decade. My 20s have been nothing but blessings - from college basketball to now. My 29th year, in spent a lot of time alone, not lonely - just singular, in solitude. For growth and building and all that shit. I’m lowkey holding onto my 20s for dear life. I’m excited for my 30s.. it’s been a wild progressive year. - photo credit: @captrue8 @sugarmilkk @lenajacksonslens @lenajacksonslens @morta.pau (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0pLoiAFv8F/?igshid=1cxfnjwybk3ju

..i made art for you to wear. - i turn 30 on Friday, so this drop seems appropriate. It’s been a journey getting here, whatever here is. Here are some art pieces I’ve made along the way. i released them for the first time @complex 2 weeks ago. “Product of America Collection” Link in bio. - Play Dirty Jersey elements; baseball: America’s past time 12: code name for DEA Play Dirty: USA government approach to the mass incarceration of the black/brown man Crow: Jim Crow, laws that enforce segregation Red Splatter: lives lost - hand painted - ComplexCon release Guy with roses: a photo i took of my homie @dallyauston. I illustrated the face and rose on the photo. 99¢ roses: give love for the low hype: the simple con - a play on @Complexcon and the idea of hype sells exponentially..but doesn’t mean that the brand or people care about us, yet we buy anyway. - Product of America T Bar code: price tags on our bodies, we’re numbers, stats - Starter Kit Everything You Need to Move Forward www.buylogik.today - #art #artist #chicago #sostlouis #clothes #streetwear #merch #logik (at United States of America) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0l8mwGAkfn/?igshid=qqr61bi89wpl

..we’re going to LOGIK’s World. - March 31st i launched my first solo #art show called “OUTTA TIME”. i lived in a loft of about 3,000 sq ft where i found that i had 30 days to move. This show had been in the works for 6 years and now had to be launched before i moved from my artist’s dream home - bc where else would i get all this space for myself? Originally the title of the show “Chapter 27; Nothing’s For Sale” naturally became “OUTTA TIME” due to the apparent situation..but the essence of the show remained & that there was no art or merch for sale... only the experience. Outfitted with 15 installations including a speakeasy that opened at 4pm called “TIMES UP”. From bringing my obnoxiously yellow characters to living, walking, breathing beings to a ballet performance in a tutu that I designed. My favorite install was the “memory bank” filled with photos & polaroids from my childhood to SXSW 2012 & recent photoshoots in Hollywood. The room was dark and ppl had red flash lights to sift through the memories. Before entering the show, you had to pick a poison, for example “hopes & dreams” which could be anything; gin, rum, etc. - It’s wild, the universe forced me out of my beloved loft to create this show bc the universe had other plans for me this summer; which have been proven evident. This recap got me my booth at @complexcon. Trust your timing and the signs. I could’ve looked for a new home in that 30 days or make a personal miracle happen ultimately turning a perceived negative into a positive. It was a one day show as i launched it on my last day of residency - so i built this show and moved at the same damn time. - I couldn’t do this show alone.. my homies helped; @falynhuang monumental; make up for my characters, collabed on “Grandma’s House” and so many more things characters: @y.renee317 @givnniwho Carrington tutu collab @teshab89 @eugenetaylorbrand dance performer: @lovingthispaige Reign coat model: @treylegit Art show buildout: @whdavidson Production: @saus.city @chewchews @xelachavez food: @herbalnotes @lil_manofrom18th Speakeasy: @poursoulschicago DJs: @dorightmars @calidb Photographer: @kolorblindisaac filmed/edited: @sampaakkonen #artist (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0i2w1xhsi9/?igshid=knrro964ms61

..did Takashi Murakami and me just become best friends!? - I appreciate @takashipom for stopping by my booth and blessing my team with his presence. I’ve been inspired by and have been a fan of his for quite some time. He’s created a world for you all to be apart of. I’m doing the same. It wild, for @complexcon i created a shirt with his name on it - aligning me with him and 4 other great artist of the 21st century. I gave Murakami a bag full of my new merch! I heard that he loved it all. If you can guess the other 4 artist - im giving 5 of the shirts away! (swipe to see the shirt at the end). DM answers. shoutout to @complexcon for showing all of the love. co-starring model: @givnniwho & @pulingafitz mua: @falynhuang photos: @captrue8 @whdavidson - #art #artist #chicago #sostlouis #painter #painting #illustrator #animator #complexcon (at ComplexCon) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0Q9WMYFUj5/?igshid=bwalvrelfwbq

...disney, im coming for you. - i brought characters to life from my art work. I’ve been plotting this since i was 15 years old .. to not merely become a painter or photographer or art director in advertising, but someone who is so much more. To create a world in which you can physically step into.. and we’ll be bringing a piece of that world to @complexcon next weekend. I couldn’t have done this without my friend, the talented @falynhuang with her great energy awesome art and makeup skills. Also, the amazing models @y.renee317 @givnniwho and little Carrington @pulingafitz. Ever since i was child I’ve been fascinated with bringing visions to life; like the films Cool World, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and the Tim Burton’s beautiful yet grotesque approach to redefining auteurism in film. It’s fucking wild, internationally we identify for this mf for having a world and land on our planet.. I’m talking about Disney. I want one. Ima get one. - #art #artist #chicago #complexcon #models #liveart #installations (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/BztNNMoBpd5/?igshid=1fhlp5hstsqk2
