Eyob Yirgou is an Ethiopian associate creative director, culturist, and writer, based in Brooklyn NY, who was born and raised in the overstated-yet-under-rated weirdness of Austin, Texas (and on the internet)
With experience in gen-pop and multicultural advertising, he aims to conceptualize, create, and comment on culture using an in-depth knowledge of sports, tech, and entertainment. He strives to challenge the way people experience the world around them, and at a minimum poke fun at the human condition. Eyob believes that unorthodox combinations are the antidote to cultural conformity, that Tupac still lives, and that self-written, 3rd-person bios sound more like obituaries than intros *RIP*
He’s eternally grateful to have been raised on the Hoopmixtape-era of the internet, The reign of Kobe Bryant, Bernie Mac, The District 05 Ducks, Hailu & Mulatu, and The College Drop Out
