Founded by Edmonton-based artist and creative entrepreneur Jabari “BRüdi” Broodhagen, Brood.inks is a multidisciplinary art brand rooted in storytelling, culture, and community connection. Inspired by a rich artistic lineage from Barbados — including renowned artists Karl and Virgil Broodhagen — Brood.inks bridges Caribbean heritage with contemporary Canadian expression through painting, tattooing, live art experiences, and cultural programming. The brand is recognized for its bold use of colour, textured mixed-media work, and powerful visual narratives that highlight Black history, civil rights figures, identity, resilience, and beauty. Through exhibitions, public art activations, festivals, workshops, and custom commissions, Brood.inks creates meaningful conversations while making art accessible to diverse audiences. Beyond the canvas, the business focuses on youth engagement, cultural preservation, and community empowerment, using creativity as a tool for education, healing, and representation. Every project under Brood.inks reflects a commitment to authenticity, legacy, and uplifting untold stories through impactful visual art.
