Artist, storyteller, and entrepreneur Hebru Brantley takes us on a journey from his childhood in Chicago discovering fine art, to studying film in Atlanta, to struggling to make ends meet while styling rappers and designing concert posters, to finding critical acclaim and collaborating with some of the biggest brands in the world.
This interview with IDEA GENERATION details how Brantley launched his art career with used canvases from a local art institute, turned tragedy into triumph with his first major art show in Chicago, and created an entire world with his art that led to every major motion picture studio knocking on his door.
