Live Painting by La Femme Cheri
Over 10 years of professional experience as a package designer, corporate identity specialist and illustrator has informed Epic Uno's uniquely clean graffiti style. You might have heard of some of his past clinets - do Nike, Coach, or Nickelodeon ring a bell? Epic's bringing unreleased art prints and custom sticker packs to our event - as well as that hustler spirit that's earned him a spot as a fixture in the NYC graffiti scene.
This dope art collective collaborates with various female-identified artists in the NYC area to bring visibility and attention to the lady art scene (their parties + art shows are legendary.) Check out their upcoming zine-fest and catch them in our popup gallery offering a unique array of limited edition zines, prints, pins, and other adornments for the glitter and girl power afficianado.
Fresh off a recent t-shirt collab with Staten Island based Stereotype Co, La Femme Cheri has been painting rooftops, walls, and canvasses all over Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island. She joins us from Shaolin to make her Manhattan live painting debut - for all of you! We know you'll love the serious curve appeal of her Welsh Doll character series come to life before your eyes.
