Hebru Brantley made mainstream headlines when hip-hop mogul Jay-Z dropped $20,000 on one of his paintings at Art Basel. The South Side native has a pretty impressive list of clientele that includes fellow Chicago native Lupe Fiasco among others, but his professional portfolio just got bolstered with another Chicago-based icon – Michael Jordan. Brantley will be collaborating with Jordan Brand for an upcoming Fall/Holiday 2015 collection of apparel and potentially footwear, so expect some heavy brush-strokes done in his signature illustrative style.
