Steven Jones of Los Angeles on Life, Lessons & Legacy

We’re looking forward to introducing you to Steven Jones. Check out our conversation below.

Hi Steven, thank you so much for joining us today. We’re thrilled to learn more about your journey, values and what you are currently working on. Let’s start with an ice breaker: What is something outside of work that is bringing you joy lately?
Lately, nothing beats the thrill of Dodgers games for me. I’ve been a die-hard fan and went to every single round of the playoffs this year, it was electric! The cherry on top was attending my first-ever World Series game: Game 3, that epic 18-inning marathon. The energy in the stadium, the nail-biting tension, and finally seeing our guys pull through… it was an unforgettable experience I’ll cherish forever. Baseball has this magical way of bringing pure joy and community together!

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hey, Steven Jones, a Los Angeles-based graphic artist and creator who lives for bold, electric visuals that pop off the screen and the street. I take on commissions across the board: eye-catching posters, album art that slaps, flyers that pack clubs, scroll-stopping social posts, and full clothing designs. If it needs a vibe, I build it.Lately I’ve been deep in two passion lanes. First: crafting custom fitted-hat pins, statement pieces that turn any cap into a flex. Second: launching my own streetwear brand, HoloGlow. We’re dropping limited samples right now’.More drops, more pins, more chaos coming 2026. Stay locked.

Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. What’s a moment that really shaped how you see the world?
Hands down, my first trip to Japan last year. I’d been dreaming of it since middle school, finally touched down in Tokyo, dove headfirst into Akihabara’s neon chaos, arcades blasting retro chiptunes, shelves packed with games I grew up idolizing. The culture hit different: polite intensity, vending-machine everything, fashion that doesn’t ask permission. Then I flew up to Hokkaido for Sapporo’s Snow Festival, massive snow sculptures glowing under floodlights. That trip was my first time ever leaving the country, and it cracked my worldview wide open. Japan showed me how deep tradition and cutting-edge futurism can coexist without clashing.

If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
Keep going, little homie, never fold. Chase every spark that lights you up, no matter how wild or far-off it feels. Explore it all: the games, the streets, the dreams that keep you up sketching at 2 a.m. You will stand under Tokyo’s neon one day, arcade buttons sticky under your fingers, snow crunching in Sapporo. The path’s messy, but every “what if” you follow lands you exactly where you’re meant to glow. Dream louder. You got this.

Sure, so let’s go deeper into your values and how you think. What would your closest friends say really matters to you?
My squad would tell you straight: my word is my bond. When I say I’m on it, whether it’s a late-night design deadline, a clutch favor, or showing up when it counts—I deliver. No excuses, no fade-outs. They know I’m the one who pulls through in the final inning, the last pixel, the 3 a.m. “yo, I got you.” Reliability’s my religion; never count me out, ‘cause I’ll always come in clutch. That’s my code.

Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: Are you doing what you were born to do—or what you were told to do?
Born for this, no question. I’ve had a pencil in hand since kindergarten, drawing my own Dragon Ball Z characters, whatever popped in my head. Me and a friend even launched our own comic book in elementary (hand-drawn, stapled, passed around the cafeteria and recess). I was pulled into advanced art classes early, I’m itching to get back to comics. Got a couple chapters brewing already.
