brad jensen
Brad Jensen is a freelance graphic designer, entrepreneur, and fine artist based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. In 2009, Jensen opened an art gallery and boutique called Bricks and Bombs that has hosted dozens of local and national artists. He continues to design and operate several clothing brands of his own (ICON, Highland & State, Southern Made, Bricks and Bombs) and runs a local clothing boutique, Tim’s Garage.
Jensen draws inspiration from vintage advertising and propaganda posters that were meant to be seen on the streets. He created a brand name, ICON, and a mascot. His bold, graphic imagery is evidence of his passion for commercial art and design. Jensen’s years of riding BMX, steeped in the art and music of a counter-culture movement introduced him to the world of graphic design and built the foundation from which his current art arises. Whether it was building ramps, cutting stencils, or printing t-shirts until all hours of the night in his garage, Jensen’s DIY work ethic and dedication give his art a grass-roots edge and iconic feel.
