Growing up on the South Side of Chicago, Statik became inspired to be involved with the subculture of urban graffiti. A consequent arrest for “vandalism” put him on a mission to legitimize the production of aerosol murals. This became the main focus of his work: public murals that fuse the graffiti aesthetic with a classical training received from the American Academy of Art. Through the Chicago Public Art Group and Gallery 37, Statik instructs children in mural painting techniques and mentors young artists in their craft. Statik is currently developing an instructional video on large-scale aerosol pieces.

Born and raised in Dallas, Texas, JD has been working full-time as an artist since 2013.

In 2015, he made the decision to primarily paint people of color, to not only cope with the traumatic images being shown in the media but also to feel like he was contributing to changing the way black men and women are seen.
