JK5 geeks out on the mundane to bring forth the spiritual.
In the second of our three part series focusing on visual artists featured in XLR8R's Vis-Ed special edition, we talk to Joseph Ari Aloi, better known as JK5. A tattoo artist and obsessive illustrator, JK5 spins everyday iconography - logos, characters, political figures, etc - into something much less mundane and much more psychedelic.
