Mike De Jesus Talks Nerdy & Cartoonish with Crazy Go Lucky
Crazy Go Lucky is a company that utilizes designs of a colorful, bright, cute, nerdy, cartoonish, random, and sometimes bizarre art style. The phrase is meant to represent having a cheerfully unconcerned attitude in a somewhat bizarre or overly enthusiastic manner. Which is exactly how one would describe how I, Michael (“Crazy” Mike) De Jesus, run a company named after this exact phrase.
Crazy Go Lucky is independently owned and run by me from Union City, CA, since 2006. Originally Crazy Go Lucky was created as sort of online portfolio of Mike’s work as a graphic designer. However by 2008, Crazy Go Lucky had developed it’s own distinct style and universe of characters that it became it’s own “brand”. This change happened due to Crazy Go Lucky being too specific in itself to be considered representation of all of my work.
So as a one man army, I turned Crazy Go Lucky from a online portfolio to a online store. This online store sells items that features this “cute” art style and ideas and also uses characters from the “Crazy Go Verse” as well. The art style used for Crazy Go Lucky is heavily inspired by my interests in cartoons/anime, comics, video games and general nerd/geek culture. It’s my desire to be creative and visually represent my ideas and interests that supply a lot of the ideas for Crazy Go Lucky. Crazy Go Lucky offers a range of products from things like T-shirts to stickers and buttons.
