Custom Art. Thoughtful Design. Complete Execution.
EKIMart Studio is a multidisciplinary creative house dedicated to crafting cohesive visual identities for commercial spaces and lifestyle brands. We bridge the gap between fine art and functional production, offering custom solutions that include mural application, architectural art commissions, and full-scale apparel and merchandise design.
Many brands are built in pieces, with little connection between the environment people walk through and the products they wear. We take a more unified approach. From the first conceptual sketch to final fabrication and fulfillment, we ensure every touchpoint is aligned and intentional.
Whether we are transforming a property with custom murals or developing a turnkey apparel line for your staff and customers, EKIMart Studio manages the full scope of design, production, and installation. One partner, one vision, executed seamlessly.
about the founder
Michael Song
Two Decades of Art, Industry, and Influence.
The work of Michael Song exists at the intersection of classical fine art and high-utility design. A BFA graduate of the USC Roski School of Fine Arts, Michael has spent over 20 years refining a creative practice built on technical precision and massive scale. His career began with a heavy immersion in graphic design and print production, providing him with a sophisticated understanding of how art translates from the digital screen to physical media.
As his practice evolved, Michael moved away from the desktop to become deeply immersed in fine art painting and art creation. This era was defined by a transition to large-scale gallery work and complex physical builds, where he honed the ability to manipulate environments with imagery and design. It was during this progression into commercial art he also integrated the discipline of tattooing into his repertoire. Across both the canvas and the skin, his personal work is deeply rooted in Asian and Eastern-influenced art, utilizing traditional motifs to bring a signature level of detail, symbolism, and permanence to his portfolio.
Today, Michael leads EKIMart Studio as a master of scale, translating original concepts into immersive environments and premium physical products. As a partner in www.TheMerchDudes.com and the lead artist at www.Eighty2Ink.com, he remains deeply rooted in "maker" culture. Whether he is executing a 40-foot commercial mural or creating a merch line, Michael’s work is a testament to creative continuity—bridging the gap between heritage-inspired fine art and the high-utility needs of the modern world.
