    New Cukui Artist Series! July 8, 2019 14:33

    KYLE FABI | KYLEBYKYLE

    Kyle Fabi is a very talented artist based in San Diego California. I met Kyle when i was finishing my undergrad in San Francisco State University, It's been quite some time now so i had to ask him if he remembers how we met, he said “ Most likely at Andy’s or at the event “Lowkey” (hosted by our great friends).” He has been a great friend ever since and has been creating amazing art throughout the years.

    I recently caught up to Kyle to talk about what he has been up to. He said that he collaborated with Urban Outfitters, where he was able to design clothing for them, such as hoodie’s and shirts which can be found in stores or www.urbanoutfitters.com. He also worked on designs for NoName and other musical artists.

    Kyle’s style design is very unique and detailed. His early design projects consisted of album covers and clothing designs. As time passed and his interest for graphic design grew, opportunities allowed him to express his art into different branches of design projects.

    Kyle said “My hunger to learn enabled me to combine mediums which led me to what i do today. Some examples are: Watercolor and design, wood and fabric, metal and acrylic - the combinations are endless. I describe my style of design as open ended and simple. I believe it’s forever changing and evolving organically. I’d like to think my style is different because it can be childlike with an adult underlining. Some examples are: Watercolor and design, wood and fabric, metal and acrylic - the combinations are endless.”

    His advice to creatives and up coming artists is

    “CHANGE THEIR ENVIRONMENT, SO YOUR WORK DOESN’T GO SLATE”

    ARTIST SPOTLIGHT
     

     
    James Garcia is a creative born and raised in San Jose California. He is a “still and motion photographer” who is focused in lifestyle and portrait photography. His work is very versatile and touches the realm of videos, illustration and design work. He has worked with companies such as Cukui Clothing, Nima Fadavi, Runners Factory, Breezy Excursion, Ad autowerks and many more.
    I asked James about his story and what sparked his curiosity with photography. 
    “ I had always been fascinated in drawing pictures of Ansel Adams landscapes growing up. So I ventured into the craft of taking photos rather than drawing them. This started back in 1997 when I took a high school photography class. What influenced me the most was my craving to constantly learn. To learn more about the art of photography, from composition, lighting and to editing. “
    “The only barriers i faced where the ones the i placed upon himself.” When he said this, it caught my attention that he was indeed right, a lot of the barriers creatives have alot to do with self doubt or the fear of the unknown. He said, “mastering the art of being present and when things don’t add up start subtracting. Keeping things simple for me often allowed those creative barriers to be knocked down.”
    Lastly i asked him what advice can he give creatives and people who want to pursue their passion.
    “The best advice is to remember that photography is about how you see the world and not about how the world sees you. We all have a gifts in life focus on your strengths and strengthen them . Also always remain a student in this craft,  that will allow you to constantly grow. Remember that the best gift you can give yourself is time. For me that’s through photography, I carry a camera with me everyday and it allows me to slow down, be present and capture the moment to a single frame.”

    ARTIST SPOTLIGHT
     

     
    James Garcia is a creative born and raised in San Jose California. He is a “still and motion photographer” who is focused in lifestyle and portrait photography. His work is very versatile and touches the realm of videos, illustration and design work. He has worked with companies such as Cukui Clothing, Nima Fadavi, Runners Factory, Breezy Excursion, Ad autowerks and many more.
    I asked James about his story and what sparked his curiosity with photography. 
    “ I had always been fascinated in drawing pictures of Ansel Adams landscapes growing up. So I ventured into the craft of taking photos rather than drawing them. This started back in 1997 when I took a high school photography class. What influenced me the most was my craving to constantly learn. To learn more about the art of photography, from composition, lighting and to editing. “
    “The only barriers i faced where the ones the i placed upon himself.” When he said this, it caught my attention that he was indeed right, a lot of the barriers creatives have alot to do with self doubt or the fear of the unknown. He said, “mastering the art of being present and when things don’t add up start subtracting. Keeping things simple for me often allowed those creative barriers to be knocked down.”
    Lastly i asked him what advice can he give creatives and people who want to pursue their passion.
    “The best advice is to remember that photography is about how you see the world and not about how the world sees you. We all have a gifts in life focus on your strengths and strengthen them . Also always remain a student in this craft,  that will allow you to constantly grow. Remember that the best gift you can give yourself is time. For me that’s through photography, I carry a camera with me everyday and it allows me to slow down, be present and capture the moment to a single frame.”
