Bio
Ashkahn Shahparnia is a Los Angeles based multidisciplinary creative whose works are at once iconic, memorable and sly. Shahparnia expresses his vibrant pop-punches in a multitude of media and expressions, ranging from design, illustration, the hand-drawn and beyond. His playfully bold aesthetic reduces complex visuals into a kind of Zen koan- if the omniscient monk standing atop the mountain had a sense of humor, that is. Unusual textures, bright colors, quirky ideas, personified text, meld together, connecting idea to image in a hyperspectra rainbow bridge. Shahparnia’s works are like well-crafted pop songs: fun, punchy, and impossible to get out of your mind—belying the virtuosic and well-studied orchestra conductor waving his magic wand behind the façade.
Shahparnia’s idiosyncratic and charming style has won him a broad range of client and press, ranging from apparel design for Obey Clothing, Poketo, Beautiful/Decay Apparel, Element Skateboards, Urban Outfitters, 2k, Ropeadope, Blood is the New Black, music design for Dangerbird Records, Ghostly International Records, Ubiquity Records and Capitol Records, as well as editorial illustrations for Urb Magazine, BPM Magazine, Beautiful/Decay magazine, Theme Magazine, and Readymade Magazine.
Influences Milton Glaser, Peter Saville, Bob Gill, Bruce Mau, Madonna
