Channeling the Cosmos with JK5
- Words: Jennifer Marston
In the second of our three-part series focusing on visual artists featured in XLR8R's Vis-Ed special edition, we talk to Joseph Ari Aloi, better known as JK5. A tattoo artist and obsessive illustrator, Aloi spins everyday iconography—logos, characters, political figures, etc.—into something much less mundane and much more psychedelic.
