Embodying popular culture, our exclusive collections exist to motivate in a way that’s entirely our own. Whether you’re working out of a cubicle or hustling with an ocean view, we’ve created hundreds of pieces to motivate you through your mornings, days, and nights. Fed up with the dead-end jobs that were going nowhere, we felt our ambition draining away at our desks, so we decided to leave it all behind and set out to create something that would inspire ourselves and others to chase those ambitions. Started as a passion project in 2016, IKONICK is now one of the fastest growing digital art companies in the world. Our artwork displays in thousands of homes and offices spaces. We partnered up with entrepreneurial icons Gary Vaynerchuk and Scooter Braun, and earned licensing rights for the NBA, Muhammad Ali, Marilyn Monroe, and many others. We are dedicated to producing affordable high-quality canvas art that’s guaranteed to make you sit up straight, put your head down and go follow your passion. Show less

Forever 21 is an American chain of fashion retailers with its headquarters in Los Angeles, California and sales of $3.7 billion in 2013. Forbes ranked Forever 21 as the 122nd largest private company in America. What is The Sky Culture? It is an organization of individuals working to break the mold of mainstream society. We have centered, but not limited this movement around our clothing line, Sky Culture Clothing. By coupling our fresh designs with urban hip hop, art, and the ideas of young aspiring professionals, we have created Sky Culture Clothing Having the clothing line at the focal point of our movement we are able to represent The Sky Culture with more than just a name. Sky Culture Clothing is not only owned by the founders (Corey & Corey), but everyone who represents the Sky Culture Society. A world filled with chaos, economic uncertainty, and political instability, creates a calling for young professionals to express their originality and make this world (if just for a moment) a better place. This is where you come in. Everyones imagination and creativity matters! When we say aspiring young professionals we mean anyone who thinks they have a contribution to the company. If someone has a design they want made, an artist they want to represent The Sky Culture, or just an idea they want to contribute to the company, we encourage and invite all to do so. If we love and want to implement your idea or design, joining our team would be your next step. We acknowledge that there are millions of people out there looking for an outlet to express themselves and Sky Culture is dedicated to providing that medium. Show less
