"OSO" MEANS BULL

First time I met with the owners of Oso & The Bull to discuss having an event, they said that hours earlier they saw someone wearing my Green Room pop-up shirt. That's pretty sick.

And so we made our own event happen.

On July 7, 2025 I had a pop-up with the Chicago sports bar, Oso & The Bull. Something I look for in spaces is a good sense of personality. Oso definitely has that through their vintage Chicago Bulls themed aesthetic, from antique news articles of MJ, to bobble heads of former Bears players. My modern cartoon style definitely meshed with them.

This pop-up event consisted of t-shirts, hats, and jerseys made & designed by yours truly.

Friends from my high school pulled up, people were placing orders through the open window, vibes were high. Even my high school AP art teacher came.

I’m grateful to Oso & The Bull for trusting me to curate their space and infuse it with my creative energy. From the natural light pouring in through the large windows to the carefully selected music, every detail contributed to an open, social atmosphere. It was exciting to see people connecting, engaging, and genuinely enjoying the environment we created together.

Things are moving quickly for LAJA, and I’m committed to keeping that momentum going. I’m excited for the upcoming projects I’ll be working on in Chicago — and beyond Illinois — as the brand continues to grow and evolve.
