Growing up in a military family, moving was a regular occurrence. With each move, I had to make new friends and connects that would eventually dissolve over time. To make each transition bearable, I began drawing. Years later, art became the main tool I used to help guide me through each transition.
I began to combine my love for urban culture with my style of artwork. Since then, art has become a way for me to capture my journey into music, dance, and culture. From sneakers to jazz and breakdancing, my goal is to put those influences on canvases so that others can appreciate that subject. I hope that those who see my work are taken back emotionally to an experience that helped shaped the person they are today.
This yellow Nike dunks painting is done on top of broken 12″ vinyl record. These records represent the relationship between the sneaker culture and the music culture. The wood panel canvas is custom made by myself, so the entire painting is truly a piece of art. This painting is also audio enabled, which means that it has a speaker built into the painting.
