Motto

​The DINKC Brand was born in Kansas City in 1990. Heavily rooted in Mexican-American cultures,
graffiti/street art influence, and "DIA DE LOS MUERTOS" Skulls x Beliefs. DINKC presents the various realms in
which he loves to explore and showcase his style. By utilizing illustrative design at its core, his work
expands into galleries, murals, custom merchandise/apparel, and commissioned work. Through his
craft, DINKC embodies strong brand ideals, unforgiving boldness, and passion. El Vivir Es Morir.


“With every life comes death, with every death comes a life story. It is remembering who they were,
not where they are. At the end of the day and life, the things we leave behind are stories, memories,
and legacies.All different, all special, and all defining who you were and will always be as an individual.
These are my leave behinds; these are my skulls"  -DINKC

LAEDAN "DINKC" GALICIA

              Growing up as a Mexican-American in Kansas City, Laedan Galicia, aka DINKC, became exposed to a myriad of street art, his two cultures, and an appreciation for Dia de los Muertos. This led to the early combination of intricately detailed line work, bold illustrations, and skulls, which later manifested in the development of his artistic style. In 2012 Laedan took on the creative name DINKC and built his studio. This creative studio powered by illustrative design and a deathly obsession with skulls immediately drove his passion to new heights through the exploration of both fine and commercial art. Influenced by Mexican street market tradition of turning art into thought provoking commercial items, Laedan strived to merge his artwork and merchandise together to form the DINKC brand. After creating all the necessary brand elements Laedan began creating actual products and participating in various events. This ranged from gallery work, live painting, murals, merchandise, apparel,  and show curation. As the brand grew into something tangible, so did interest from other local creatives/companies. 


​                On the side, Laedan undertook freelance projects that related one way or another to what he had already accomplished through DINKC Studios. Whether it be branding, customizing products, murals, apparel or personal projects, the same amount of detail and care is put into each task no matter how big or small. As a commercial artist with a love for fine art, he believes it is his job to not only satisfy the client’s needs, but also tell their story with creative illustration and complimentary design. Through innovative problem solving, Laedan pushes the viewer to study the product sincerely, leading to a deeper connection through narrative. What once started as a personal project is transforming into a full time freelance opportunity. Laedan now offers many products/services through DINKC Studios by collaborating with local companies in the community. As he continues moving forward with this dream, he aspires to continue pushing the DINKC brand from coast to coast.




"Strive to always give 110%, because that 100% will get you noticed
 but that 10% will make you unforgettable." -Laedan Galicia-
