His fame started with mischievous doings of boyhood – spontaneous graffiti sessions in the middle of the night and selling dope to make extra cash to spend on frivolous things. Carreon dropped out of high school school to be a part of the Grateful Dead tour at age 16 and traveled the U.S. Along this road trip, Carreon would hustle Grateful Dead parking lots, sleep in cars, hotels and rest stops. While following the Grateful Dead, Louis was also painting and tagging every major city in the U.S. and learning street codes and styles. In 1991 Carreon was introduced to the world of graffiti and it forever changed his life . Louis was trained by Long beach finest in the art of tagging and the roots of the graffiti culture . In 1992, Carreon joined the Long Beach graffiti crew, KBH, who mercilessly scrawled their art on highways, billboards, and buildings. For 10 years, the graffiti crew served as a way to pursue street fame and ultimately feed his addiction. His reputation on the street gave Carreon enough clout and money to turn his lifestyle on the streets into a idea and a way out, leading him to the apparel industry where he started Klozhorse. In only three months, Louis Carreon’s name was infamous among celebrities and socialites for his art and clothing. Stores such as Fred Segal, Madison, Barneys, Saks Fifth Ave, and high end boutiques knew his name and carried his clothing in stores. The fresh smell of spray paint on the clothes when they hit the stores didn’t stop the items from flying off the shelves. Carreon started a movement – real street art on shirts instead of walls. The fame became Carreon’s downfall as he was blinded by the glitz and glamour of Hollywood. He quickly became a victim of drugs and addiction that were

disguised by the Hollywood nightlife scene and celebrity outings. This addiction led to Carreon serving in prison for 2 years due to drug related crimes. During his term, his reputation was put on hold, his clothing line was taken away, and mindset was a bit blurred by it all, but his passion for his art stayed consistent. Although his raw experiences in Long Beach and Los Angeles ultimately threw him in prison, he used his passion to survive his sentence. Carreon began drawing bear heads for holiday cards that inmates would send to their wives and kids. Through this, Carreon found his hustle and love for art – and thus the iconic bear head was born. Through the fame and the busts, Louis Carreon turned his passion into a lifestyle. Once released from prison, Carreon dove right back into Hollywood to prove that he left unscathed and came out on top due to his passion for art. He held several successful shows in Los Angeles and sold art to celebrities and tastemakers. Carreon is currently seen collaborating with nightclubs and restaurants throughout the city. The artwork is easily recognizable through his signature color and style, making Carreon’s work unmistakably known through the Hollywood culture. Now, LOUIS CARREON would like to introduce louiscarreon.com and BEARHEADLA.
