GuestSpeakeronFeb.1,2023: WILLIAM "KINGPOP" FLOYD ARTIST/DESIGNER

William “KingPoP” Floyd is taking the world by storm as the forerunner in pop culture art

Not since Warhol has an artist been able to capture the spirits of pop culture icons on canvas in such bright, vivid colors.

In addition to custom portraits and pop art, Floyd is also a renowned creative director. He has led many projects such as websites, logos, and marketing materials for a wide range of clients including, Neiman Marcus, Mitsubishi, Porsche of North America, Waffle House, and Proctor & Gamble. Sought after for his intelligent designs and artistic perspective, William Floyd is a true creative mind. In his independent published book “All Together”, Floyd combined poetry, paintings, and personal insights to inspire readers and art lovers alike. Released in 2010, the book epitomizes coffee table literature, and further showcases the artist’s diverse abilities. With the introduction of his Pop Culture clothing line, Floyd elevates himself and his creative empire to new heights If you are into film and television catch Floyd’s work in the most notable pictures like, Black Lighting, The Originals, Macgyver, Xscape Still Kickin It and several Mountain Dew Commercials
