Persue
Anyone who knows persue can tell you that his artwork is a reflection of his personality. His animated, fun-loving demeanors, and intense imaginative way of looking at the world around him, are the building blocks of his work. A traditionalist, Persue paints on the streets, and quotes, ‘Graffiti is the foundation of my life", but has more recently meshed that background with a rough-edged illustration style to create works for galleries.
In 1992, Persue began working in the action sports industry. His career started while painting a wall in a skateboard shop. An employee recognized his talent and called a friend, Ken Block, who was starting a company called Eightball (now DC Shoes). Persue started freelancing t-shirt graphics, which paved the way to skateboard and snowboard graphics, which led to his current position as a footwear designer for Osiris Shoes. In 2003, Persue started a company called Bunny Kitty with his girlfriend, who is a UCLA graduate with an addiction to sewing and knitting. While painting Bunny Kitty at the 2003 New York Wall of Fame, Persue was introduced to the guys at Kidrobot who were starting a toy called the Dunny. Bunny Kitty was included in the limited edition first series Dunny. The Bunny Kitty Dunny was the starting point for the company’s website, signature hand made totes, apparel, accessories, and much recognition.
