Roman Protoluik, best known for his lasting local imprint that is ProtoClothing, is a Ukrainian boy turned American artist. Ukraine born and raised until the age of 11, Roman and his Mother moved to the small city of Tacoma Washington in 2010. Although Roman found it tough to communicate with his peers, he found his self being well acclimated into his new life and the cultures presented to him. His creative career started when Roman decided to start a headwear brand called ProtoClothing. Through his brand he made lots of connections with fellow artists such as PoloBoyShawty, a Hip Hop Producer well known on the Soundcloud rap scene and Local Tacoma rapper Lil Ripp. According to Protoluik one his Most notable connections he made was to an for Artist/Photographer, known as praisepain . They met in late 2016 in hopes that Pain would be able to do some photography for his up and coming line of clothing. In
the process Roman was introduced to film photography a style popularized within the new generation by the likes of Gunner Stahl and Asiangirl.jpeg. He stated that after praisepain turned him onto to taking photos with film he took it and ran with it. From there Roman started the hobby of what he calls “documentation” He stated that whenever he would go out with his friends he’d document behind the lens of a camera and soon found a love for it. But Roman isn’t always taking pictures or designing clothes. He is currently enrolled at FIDM studying Graphic Design as well as modeling for the major 90s Hip Hop Brand, Cross Colours. Among other things Roman is staying inspired, he grew into the nostalgic culture of 90s hip hop upon moving to america and has said its inspired him ever since. He also sites Architecture, Nature and Colors as daily inspiration within his Art.
