In collaboration with the Ace Hotel, Yung Jake took over a billboard in downtown LA for Dear DTLA, and his projects Datamosh, Look and Both have taken digital experience to a whole new level. He has since taken the art world by storm, with work that’s been reposted endlessly online and featured live by MOCA.

Via the paint-with-emojis site emoji.ink, Yung Jake created celebrity portraits that not only exploded across the web with retweets in the thousands – featured by MTV, People, and Time – but also inspired a Pepsi ad directed by Yung Jake himself.

‘Born on the internet in 2001’, Yung Jake is a viral-prone creative innovator, mixing wildly immersive digital art with rap.
