Los Angeles native, Marquis Lewis better known as Retna, inherits a unique style integrating a one of a kind handstyle. The mixture of scripture and calligraphy never looked so intriguing. Over many exhibitions and collaborations such as Nike and The Cosmopolitan to name a few, Retna's art background has definitely played in his favor with all the success that he has accomplished.
