Artist Spotlight: Jacob Medina (@jacobartmedina)
Gorilla Quake’s featured artwork comes from Jacob Medina, a Big Island artist known for blending Hawaiian storytelling with his Mexican heritage. Born on Día de los Muertos, Jacob infuses his work with the symbolic language of both cultures — think tiki spirits, vibrant colors, and Day of the Dead flair. The result? A signature “Primitive Pop” style that’s instantly recognizable and emotionally rich.
From custom tiki mugs to gallery paintings, Jacob’s art lives at the intersection of mythology, humor, and history. His piece for Gorilla Quake captures the primal energy of the strain: a towering, neon-lit gorilla rising from the ocean, smoke swirling, lava glowing — a visual metaphor for the intensity and power this hybrid brings.
