-Kevin Lyons-
Creation has flowed from Kevin Lyons since childhood, and his track record runs the gambit. After graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design in film in 1992, Lyons went from Associate Producer at Nickelodeon/MTV to co-founding the NYC based design firm Stereo-Type, a
driving force in the underground hip-hop scene that worked with New York club GIANT STEP, Soul Kitchen, 555 Soul, and the LA-based Brass Recordings among others. He has worked both in and out-of-house for Nike, Spike Jonze, Girl Skateboards and a three-year stint as Art Director for Tokion magazine. In addition to doing several solo zines with Nieves, his work has been published in Thrasher, Relax, ID, LoDown, The Face and Huge Magazine. He has also written several articles for the AIGA Journal. Furthermore, he has taught at R.I.S.D., CalArts, Yale Graduate School of Design, and Pratt Institute. His freelance clients include Nike Basketball, Jordan, Adidas and Stussy.
Lyons now lives in Philadelphia where he maintains a small experimental project/company called Natural Born. He continues to work with SSUR as well as with his friends at Stussy Japan, HUF, Commonwealth Stacks, Stones Throw Records, and Beams.
