Hello, my name is Luke Venechuk

Five bright, 11-inch-tall red spikes molded with Elmer’s glue and hairspray stretch across the center fold of packaging sophomore Luke Venechuk’s head.

Venechuk recreates it every two weeks, a process that takes an hour.

“I wanted to make a statement of my individuality,” he said.

Despite the questions and stares he gets regularly because of his mohawk, Venechuk said his family and friends like his month-old look. Venechuk added that showering is not an issue — he simply leans forward to avoid getting his hair wet.

“I’m gonna leave it up until it gets to be a nuisance,” he said.
