IAN SULLIVAN
Ian Sullivan, a native of New York, is a passionate graffiti artist who has been leaving his "Tag" on the city's streets since he was 12 years old. While studying illustration at NYC's prestigious Pratt Institute, Sullivan developed a keen eye for detail and a love for urban landscapes, which he channels into his stunning murals, illustrations, and designs.
His art seamlessly blends traditional techniques with the raw energy of graffiti, resulting in a truly unique and captivating style that is instantly recognizable. At the heart of Sullivan's work is a fictional character named SYN, who embodies the rebellious spirit of the city and serves as a poignant symbol of the struggle to navigate life in one of the world's most unforgiving environments. Through his art and his alter ego, Sullivan provides a window into the complexities of growing up in New York and captures the essence of this vibrant, dynamic metropolis.
