Gathered up an adventure posse this past Sunday and finally did the Lucas Museum and dear golly what an adventure it was. The sheer quality and diversity of the collection there is absolutely inspirational ah and the experience made me so grateful that I live in a city like Los Angeles that embraces all levels and forms of artistry. This is only Lucas dump 1 btw. #lucasmuseumofnarrativeart #normanrockwell #windsormccay #jackieormes #carlbarks

Hoodlin Mania: Mind Control was different.

Over 50+ people came together and poured their time, energy, and resources into building something real. From the visuals to the games, animation, merch, and everything in between… this was a full world brought to life.

Proud of the team that made this happen. This wasn’t easy, but we made it work.

And this is just the beginning.

We’re building this into an annual takeover, where everything Hoodlin comes together under one roof… gaming, animation, toys, content, merchandise, and more.

We’re only going up from here.

Stay tuned for what’s next from the Hoodlins.

Big thank you to everyone who showed up, supported, and helped bring this to life. From our vendors and interns to our creative team and partners, we see you.

If you’re not tapped in yet, now’s the time.

The hostile takeover continues.

What an incredible experience at LightBox Expo 2025!

Today the team had the opportunity to connect, share, and celebrate creativity with so many amazing artists, studios, and innovators.

Through @createnowarts, we continue to champion the transformative power of the arts for underserved youth, opening doors to creative careers and new possibilities across Los Angeles and beyond.

And on the creative studio side, @bigfooters showcased the limitless potential of our original IP, @hoodlinmania, a bold, multi-platform universe that’s growing faster than ever. From animation to collectibles, we’re just getting started.

It was inspiring to see familiar faces and even more exciting to build new relationships with people who share our vision. Huge thank you to LightBox Expo for inviting us out and giving us the space to dream big and connect with a global creative community.

The future is bright, and we can’t wait to see what’s next.

This past weekend, our community suffered a heartbreaking loss. The murals at El Sereno Middle School, created by the hands of youth, volunteers, and the incredible artist Dezmond Crockett, were vandalized.

Among them was a mural celebrating excellence. Icons like Rosa Parks, Maya Angelou, and Kobe Bryant looked down on students daily, reminding them of their power, history, and limitless potential.

We’re not backing down. We’re restoring the mural.

But we need your help.

Donate, share, volunteer: in the link on our bio
Let’s turn heartbreak into healing, and show our youth that their voices still matter.

As some of you may know from watching my stories, ive been working on a mural at a middle school for the past 4 weekends and today was going to be my last day of working on it but when i arrived today we found the mural and the area around it had been totally vandalized. My initial thoughts and feelings as you might imagine were of horror, anger, and confusion. I wondered if was a racially motivated attack being that the mural itself was racially motivated but not in a domineering or intrusive way. The school itself is predominantly latino but it does have a small cohort of black students as well and the mural was funded through a grant aimed at uplifting those students through various programs. The mural was meant to serve as a point of inspiration for all the students of the school to see greatness in themselves as well as others, to bridge that cultural gap and expand their perceptions but upon further inspection it became apparent to me that this was likely done by children. While this will be an ongoing investigation to find those responsible and hold them accountable, my next feeling was one of inspiration. I took a moment to see an opportunity in all this. As a teacher, an artist and a man of faith I recognized my responsibility to set an example for restitution, resilience and composure. Im not a child who cant see the bigger picture, seeking vengeance and denying redemption. The work i do is for the children of tomorrow and so that this world will be a little better than the way i found it. What would it mean if i gave up, or let this slide or simply complained? That would be a disservice to everyone who put their faith in me. So I will be working with my partners towards resolving all this with integrity and creativity. Ill provide updates on what we come up with in the coming days and i just want to let you all know im even more motivated to continue my work and be the man im meant to be 🙏🏾
