Meet a real-life JJ Evans. Seriously though, Corey Barksdale is an artist who owns the Creative Art Connection. The reason I mentioned JJ Evans is due to the similarity of Corey’s art style with the infamous 70’s sitcom icon. Originally from Nashville, Corey was born into a family of artists and earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from the Atlanta College of Art.
Corey’s style focuses on mural art and African-American art by utilizing some of the bold colors found in African art. If you are looking for that unique piece for your home or business, check out Corey’s website to commission a painting.
