Sandow Birk
Los Angeles artist Sandow Birk is a well traveled graduate of the Otis/Parson's Art Institute. Frequently developed as expansive, multi-media projects, his works have dealt with contemporary life in its entirety. With an emphasis on social issues, frequent themes of his past work have included inner city violence, graffiti, political issues, travel, war, and prisons, as well as surfing and skateboarding.
Created in Birk’s signature illustrative style, “Urban Alphabet” is a new take on the alphabet teaching charts made for children that use things that children never see in real life, such as exotic animals, and substituting them for things from everyday American life.
