Introduction To Chicago Artist JC Rivera

Known for his ‘Bear the Champ’ artwork, JC Rivera is one of Chicago’s favorite artists. His illustrations, murals and paintings can be recognized all over the city and world. JC Rivera has a knack for creating pieces that are unique and extraordinary, and they all vary depending on the needs of each project. No pieces are the same, as most adapt to each neighborhood depending on the vibe. See what makes his artwork stand out amongst the other artists in the massive city of Chicago.

All done with this one.
