THE ART OF AXIS


Our good friend (and one of my favorite artists), Axis, just recently relaunched his website, STYLEPIG.COM. Axis started Style Pig in 2002 as a design agency and clothing line through which he has produced commercial art for Toyota, GM, BMW, Ford, Scion, Intel, Sony, Virgin Mobile, Pepsi, Stussy, VANS, I.C.U. Art, Fuel TV, TLC Network, Cartoon Network, Comedy Central, and MTV Networks.
Axis has graced the walls of Tradition a few times with some of his contributions to a few of our group shows. He will have a few pieces in an upcoming group show called "Horror Business" which opens October 18th at Tradition.
Axis is a L.A. based contemporary illustrator/graffiti artist/painter who emerged from Los Angeles' seminal graffiti scene in the late 1980's. He is most noted for his convoluted and hyper-stylized freehand graffiti. As a member of L.A.'s legendary CBS crew, Axis' work can been seen both on the street and in galleries all over the world.
Be sure to check out STYLEPIG.COM to see more of his work including fine art, illustration, graffiti, pen and ink, and sketches.
