History
Established in 2018.
In 2010, N.J. native and artist Samuel Nygard created Rebel Child Designs as a platform for displaying his graffiti inspired art in unique and creative ways. In 2018, the Hawthorne N.J. resident and father of 2, decided to leave his home based studio and business, to pursue his dream of opening up a custom art studio/boutique. Shop Local by Rebel Child Designs is not only a one stop shop for all custom art needs, but it doubles as a consignment shop for local artists. The unique and colorful shop features wall art, t-shirts, hand made jewelry, scented candles, coloring books, wall hangings, furniture both new and reclaimed, decorative pillows, and even vintage vinyl records!
Meet the Business Owner: Samuel N.
Samuel Nygard is an American artist and writer. Born and raised in New Jersey, he is 1/4 of a family of creative minds. Influenced at an early age by his artist father, Sam took an interest in drawing and painting. Growing up 10 minutes from the Hip-Hop capital of the world, Bronx NY, he quickly was engulfed in the urban artistic lifestyle of graffiti. Following in the foot steps of his older brother, painting his name on walls around town became routine. Samuel embraced the culture and held many different "tags" along his journey.
Inspired by the many graffiti legends and street artists, who turned their passion into a well known and accepted practice, Samuel began to experiment with canvas. He quickly developed a definitive style, blending his graffiti with elements of abstract art. Along with creating, his greatest passions is spreading creativity. By sharing his experiences he hopes to help empower young artists and steer them away from the cliche "starving artist" ideology.
