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.
I just just finished laying down the background on the painting. Its almost finished. Up next is for me to do some minute detailing on the face and ears, sharpening up the shirt, wire the speakers, and install plexiglas. This painting of the Random Rok of the Soulbotics Crew turned out pretty good.
I'm in the progress of working on the Hip-Hop elements pieces for the Audio Art collection. This piece is titled "King Tut." It's titled after the style of movement in popping. I chose a good friend , Mr. Random Rok of the Soulbotics crew, as the dancer that would grace the canvas. If you ever seen him dance, you would know why. Check out some clips of him getting down here.
