"Bryan Blue a.k.a. Blue The Great does a little bit of everything. First and foremost, he’s an artist, though he does many other things, too. He’s a muralist, sculptor, photographer, graphic designer, music producer and more. He’s a fearless creative — a former college athlete from Texas who dropped out to pursue art full-time in Los Angeles, despite early doubts and naysayers. In his paintings, Blue’s trademark is the mummy. Bandages obscure the immediately-recognizable faces of contemporary royalty: celebrities, actors and rappers. Nowadays, Blue has expanded what he paints to include a broader definition of “icon,” whether he’s depicting a hip-hop superstar, a video game character or the Air Jordan I."
