Brickmob (feat. Chris “lastdeviant” Garcia, Joe Worley, & Jes Nellis)

Brickmob: We stand proudly as an urban art brand with meaning. Brickmob creates epic murals, art, and urban threads by hand, using eco-friendly techniques and locally sourced supplies whenever possible. Our crew partakes in a multitude of events, festivals, and public art projects to help our community thrive and bolster civic unity. Simply put, our creative collective lives and breathes the conscientious maker movement.

Chris “lastdeviant” Garcia is first and foremost an artist. He’s traveled through parts of Europe and the Middle East and all around the United States, exploring countless art mediums in a variety of social environments. He is consid- ered to be “Midwest born and East Coast raised,” since Virginia is where he truly came into his own as an artist. Chris’s strongest areas are in graphic design, photography, and illustration, but he is also quite proficient in motion graphics, printmaking, and other mixed mediums. He also founded the Brickmob art collective and co-owns it with his celebrated artist wife, Nicky Rocho. Together they and their team of muralists have created over sixty murals across multiple states.

Jes Nellis graduated from Kansas State University with a BA in history and anthropology, then received her MA from Wichita State University in public history and coauthored a book on tornadoes called Kansas: In the Heart of Tornado Alley. She works in aerospace governance and loves making fun fiber pieces and playing with her two adorable dogs.

Joe Worley has always loved to create. He studied painting in college and graduated with a degree in graphic design from Wichita State University. He has since become a prolific caricature artist and has self-published several comic books. Notably, he was the Wichita Riverfest design contest winner in 2018 and again in 2022. He has also painted many murals with Brickmob in Kansas and beyond. He and his wife recently welcomed their new son, Otto, into the world.
