Lucky Unlucky Designs is an independent brand based in California’s San Francisco Bay Area. Part art studio and part retailer, LUD is a menagerie of artwork steeped in big city life.
Works you’ll find here all started with humble beginnings - a simple sketch on paper that turned into much more. From paintings infused with a deep love of old school tattoo, to hand-pulled screen printed merch fueled by DIY spirit, we celebrate the underground we grew from.
Our mission is pretty simple - create quality pieces that unapologetically reflect who we are and where we’re from, representing the people, subcultures and many influences that formed us. You might see yourself in our reflection, too. So come along for the ride - let’s decorate the world.
Meet The Artist
Maria Tsasis is an artist and illustrator from San Francisco, California. She started scribbling on things as a kid growing up in the city’s vibrant Excelsior District and hasn't stopped since.
She specializes in watercolor paintings with a classic tattoo style, but still makes time to experiment with whatever else is handy, screen print the hard way and fix up old furniture (or random junk) she finds around town. Much of her work is inspired by old school tattoos, music, movies and her hometown.
