Introduction

Jordan Arnell (Cleveland, OH)

Jordan Arnell Evans is a jack-of-all-trades, a true creative force to be reckoned with. This Ohio-born artist is an illustrator, painter, videographer, graphic designer, and the mastermind behind the "Eztaughtme" brand. But that's not all, folks. Jordan's art is on another level, as demonstrated by his stunning piece for the 2016 NBA season. The artwork featured basketball legends Lebron James, Kyrie Irving, Tristan Thompson, and Iman Shumpert and quickly garnered widespread recognition. His talent doesn't stop there, though. Jordan's artwork for Kanye West caught the attention of none other than Cyhi The Prince, who revealed on Instagram that Jordan's piece helped inspire Kanye's highly anticipated album, "Yandhi." Jordan's expertise extends beyond the music industry; he has designed captivating album art, logos, concert posters, and event flyers for local and celebrity clients alike. He's a true independent artist commissioned to work on diverse projects, including personal portraits, paintings, logos, merchandise designs, murals, and illustrations. And now, with a fresh new rebranding from Eztaughtme to Art Jordan, he's poised to take the art world by storm with his distinctive style and exciting collaborations.

Early life

Meet Jordan Arnell Evans, a true Sandusky, OH original, known simply as Jordan Arnell. This creative soul has been wielding a pencil since the age of three, drawing and sketching with a fervor that set him apart from the other kids. He'd spend hours upon hours scribbling away, from doodling in notebooks at his grandparent's house to sketching on walls in his own home. It wasn't until he won second place in a coloring contest in kindergarten, earning himself a meal with the local fire department, that he realized his passion could be something special. Even in elementary school, his classmates would gather around him, mesmerized by his artistry. While he loved to create all sorts of things, from wrestlers to NBA players, his heart was always in art. It's perhaps no surprise, then, that Jordan's grades were just average; he was too busy honing his skills to worry about acing every test. "It makes sense now, though," he says. "I consider myself a C student, but that just means balance to me."

Graphic Design Career

Let's take a trip back to 2008, when Jordan was a budding student at the School of Advertising Art. He spent a year there, but that was enough for him. He was hungry for more, eager to learn the ropes of marketing and entrepreneurship through his music group, family, and friends. For the next five years, he channeled his energy into creating music, all the while perfecting his graphic design skills. And boy, did that pay off! His exceptional work caught the attention of local magazines in the Sandusky and Cleveland areas, cementing his reputation as one of the best designers around. But Jordan wasn't content to rest on his laurels. In 2016, he took a bold leap of faith, leaving his cushy job as a shoe salesman to focus full-time on his brainchild, the Eztaughtme brand. And now, under the new moniker of "ART JORDAN," he's taking the art world by storm.

Art Jordan

Jordan is a go-getter who doesn't let anything get in the way of his dreams. In 2018, his hard work paid off big time when he went viral for his legendary "All Eyez On Me" Lebron t-shirt. Fans couldn't get enough, and the shirt sold out in record time, even making an appearance on the popular TV show "First Take." But that was just the beginning. In 2021, Jordan once again broke the internet with his groundbreaking NFT collection, a move that changed the game for him forever. Since then, he's been keeping busy with a variety of exciting projects. From working with ESPN on college gameday initiatives to branding an elementary school in Jacksonville, FL, Jordan is always on the move. He's also designed some killer merch and uniforms for his high school, and he's not stopping there. With his sights set on building his brand even further in Atlanta, Georgia, there's no telling what Jordan will accomplish next.
