Urban Art KR.ONE

I'm lucky to have some very talented friends and one of them happens to be Mr. Louie "KR. ONE" Gasparro. Louie and I worked in television a while back and that's when I first found out what an amazing artist he is. A born and bred New Yorker, he has been part of the Urban art scene for many years and some of his work was seen on NYC transit lines (subways here in good 'ol NYC) throughout the late 70's and early 80's along with walls in Long Island City and Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

His inspirations and earliest influences range from Saturday morning cartoons, 1960's and 70's underground comics, rock album cover and poster art and of course the rolling art of NYC Subway Graffiti.







Louie has put his subway "excursions" on pause and continues his graphic, abstract, illustrative and graffiti art paintings with his own design company KOLORSTORM GRAFFICS, creating cd, dvd packaging, logo design, and clothing. Louie has taken part in several successful solo and group showings along with his artwork being showcased in several books, video games and magazine publications.





Louie has illustrated many designs for me including a new line of Nastee Note's which will be unveiled shortly. I'm excited to announce that Louie and I have partnered up to debut a new line of greeting cards called "Kolorstorms" featuring an array of his artwork, which will be available via my etsy shop and my website.
