Meet Neil Shigley, the Man Behind UE’s Artwork

As a professor at San Diego State University and a seasoned artist, Neil Shigley has made a name for himself with his compelling artwork being showcased in solo exhibits throughout the United States. Underground Elephants’ relationship with Neil started roughly 6 years ago when our CEO Jason Kulpa expressed an interest in his art and has been a customer and supporter ever since. Most, if not all, of Underground Elephants’ artwork that is showcased throughout our downtown office is that of Neil’s. Some of the artwork originates from existing collections of Neil’s while others are customized pieces. One customized piece in particular is our roof top mural, which extends from one side of the office to the other. When asked about the significance of the mural, Neil mentioned that it was a true collaboration between him and Jason. They wanted to incorporate a “street-feel” which is consistent with many of his existing art pieces.
