■ KIO
——————
In 1991, KIO had a huge crush on one of the elements of Hip Hop - graffiti. He established a strong identity for his art work through street culture.

KIO formed a collective called, "TypoGraphics" with K.I.N. of "MELLOW YELLOW" in 1997. At the time, MELLOW YELLOW was leading the Japanese Hip Hop scene. They designed illustrations, characters, and logo design as well as album cover art for major Japanese Hip Hop artists. Their high quality art work captivated viewers.

In 2005, KIO became their director of design and illustration for the apparel brand "Optimystik". The brand reflects "sound" and "art" through an original point of view from a street culture perspective.

In 2010, KIO started live painting at clubs and street culture events using POSCA paint markers only. In 2012, he had an exhibition with various artists in Australia. In 2013, KIO had his first solo exhibition at Shibuya NOSORG＆NOS Ebisu in Tokyo.
KIO's warm, expressive touch is based on Black Culture.

■ GOSPEL
——————
Gospel was introduced to Hip Hop in 1992 and graffiti inspired him. As a child, he was into manga and drawing which lead him to be a self-taught illustrator.

Gospel always remembers his roots. His style focuses on unique characters with warmth that are not affected by trends. They are beyond our imaginings of cliché Hip Hop.

From painting at live events, to creating apparel designs, album art, and logos for commercial and emerging projects - Gospel's, "Never forget the basics" style is appreciated by a variety of audiences that expand his art around the globe.
