Life, Values & Legacy: Our Chat with Lucky LeRoy of Southside

We’re looking forward to introducing you to Lucky LeRoy. Check out our conversation below.

Hi Lucky, thank you for taking the time to reflect back on your journey with us. I think our readers are in for a real treat. There is so much we can all learn from each other and so thank you again for opening up with us. Let’s get into it: What do you think others are secretly struggling with—but never say?
How to create envy on social media.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Greetings! For years we operated under the nom de plume LeRoy “King of Art.” Recently in deference to the hashtag no kings #nokings movement in the USA we have abdicated the crown. we have rebranded as LUCKY LEROY. we are the proprieter of LEROYLAND at The Factory St Pete. we sell art. You may purchase figure drawings, spray paintings, quilts, shoe prints, screen prints, drip paintings or abstract smears. You may commission a portrait or fabric installation for your living room or museum.

Appreciate your sharing that. Let’s talk about your life, growing up and some of topics and learnings around that. What’s a moment that really shaped how you see the world?
Catch the ball sissy boy. The baby girl’s world was rocked when she realized she was gonna grow up to be a man. 1993. Image attached.

Was there ever a time you almost gave up?
Yes but we survived.

Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. Whom do you admire for their character, not their power?
Richard Prince

Before we go, we’d love to hear your thoughts on some longer-run, legacy type questions. Could you give everything your best, even if no one ever praised you for it?
Yes and we continue to do so.
