Maker: Animal Instincts (Northhampton, MA)

Jamai Lowell founded Animal Instincts in 2008 to create art and apparel that makes people smile. As the son of an art teacher, he’s been drawing since he could hold a crayon. Jamai is now a dad to two daughters and loves helping them express themselves. Fusing street art, modern abstract, illustration — and animals doing zany things — all of Jamai’s designs are from his original pencil sketches. The brand has become known for iconic images of animals overtaking popular landmarks like the image of Golden Gate Bridge. Jamai is a firm believer that anything can happen. His optimism and whimsy shines through his art. Animal Instincts Apparel is carried in outlets across California and Massachusetts.
