Ian Kuali’i has been a close homie of mine for over a decade now. ?We used to both work at a skate shop in Orange County, where our “work” was more like politickin about hip hop, sketching in blackbooks, and poring through graff mags. ?Since then, the Maui-native relocated to NYC, jumping head first into visual art – mentored by the legendary Doze Green. ?Utilizing a blade as his weapon of choice, his art distorts spontaneity & meticulous discipline, with a fine tuned?balance of flatness & depth.
