ALI 6 | Street Artist The work of artist Ali 6 (Nikko Locander) has definitely sparked the attention and interest of millennial urban/ street art followers. Starting as a graffiti artist in Chicago, Ali 6 has established a fictional character known as “Richie” (source: Fake Shore Drive) that now trends along the walls of countless buildings and alleys across the Chicagoland area. With this character as his identity in the street art sphere, Ali 6 continues to re-create “Richie” in his artistry in connection to trending cultures amongst the Chicago community (i.e. music, sports, fashion, etc.). One of his most recent collaborations was done with one of Chicago’s streetwear fashion brand Jugrnaut. Click HERE to view images of this collab editorial collection.
