ARTIST BIO

B. 1985 DALLAS, TEXAS, USA

Joshua Maupin — creator of LILKOOL Studios, is a Brooklyn-based graffiti writer-turned-painter with a soft spot for the bold lines of classic cartoonists. Inspired by 1990s culture and its accompanying skate scene, LILKOOL pays homage to pop art legends through his colorful works, while simultaneously drawing inspiration from the streets of New York City, classic cartoon culture and the underground 1970s comic book scene.

CREATIVE INSPIRATION

Inspired by the ever-changing graffiti art on NYC building façades with layers of spray paint overlapping each other to create a camouflage, LILKOOL reinterprets the BAPE® camo pattern to best represent the industrial environment of New York.
