Artist Profile: Joey Potts

Most of the info on the internet about Chicago-based Joey Potts is a little dated, but his color schemes are definitely not. The mix of bizarrely detailed characters and retina-scorching color palettes is what makes his work a standout for me. It really runs the gamut too: painting and installation work, custom painted toys and sneakers, and apparel design. He’s one of those rare breeds whose work crosses over traditional design and fine art equally.
