We recently sat down with New York native Bradley Theodore to talk about his booming career as one of the premier street artists. The self-motivated creator began his painting career in Junior High School, but more recently worked on past projects with the likes of the Wu-Tang Clan, corporations like Sony and Universal Records, and infusing his signature look into brand logos belonging to Leica and Parker Brothers’ Monopoly; these attributes define Bradley’s inception into pop culture and the art that is found within. Having recently produced a few items for Smile Design Gallery, Bradley spoke about his thoughts on the commercialization of art, his Anna Wintour and Karl Lagerfeld on canvas, the energy he puts into his artwork, and more. To learn more about the Smile Design Gallery, check out the official website and stay tuned for more on this charitable cause.
