that’s what it’s starting to feel like. i enjoy it greatly. life is all about perspective. what you make of the situation becomes your reality. you’re not the situation, it’s your actions that define you. 2020 is a strange year. we’re surviving a pandemic whilst ending racism. creators are permanently at work. truthfully it feels like my existence alone is protest. what’s next is i should become more vocal of

learning
thankfully all of this has been an intense learning process. i’m going to be 29 this year. my dad turned 60 the other day. my brother and i called him on a group video chat since he lives in Houston. the united states is leading with covid-19 cases. one thing for sure is this reminded us all of our humanity. i’m doing my part to relaying solid informational findings on
our planet is facing an actual crisis and all i can do is make art and develop websites.
it’s a rather eerie scenario to be in. i spent years mastering my craft seriously in hopes of securing a type of foundational financial gain just to be thwarted by a rather untimely almost seemingly engineered biological disaster. imagine being a full time artist in the panic. the biggest fears for everyone seems to be staring into the uncertainty –maybe that’s met in combination with digesting disinformation helping create distress.
a year in review
without a doubt, 2019 was the most influential year of my human life. it was the fall of 2018 when i woke up in Las Vegas, NV prepared to attempt a new life. this journey was riddled in unexpected events. realistically i had no idea i would even survive out here. lo and behold it’s 2020. the process was insane. for 2019, i quit drinking alcohol. that was the greatest
I’m at Container Park for #SecondSundayLV
i’ll be joining the ISI Group for Second Sunday at Container Park. you can RSVP for a reminder here. i really enjoy laughing and talking with people who stop by to admire my art. it really means a lot. we’re all stumbling through life together so any time spent relating on the images i render genuinely makes me happy. i hope you enjoy the memories we’ve made.

the only constant is change
September has been an incredible month for me. September was an intense time of changes for many aspects of my life. in many different avenues i have began growing and expanding to what feels like the greatest version of myself. i overcame. maybe we should take with us the understanding of how cycles actually prepare us for life’s infinite possibilities. one thing I found interesting that I saw in a
you end up in some of the strangest places
i couldn’t imagine a life where i didn’t follow my dreams i would often ask myself “would any of this matter?” while embarking on this road less traveled. i looked forward placing one foot in front of another with only my gift of art and the support of my friends. my burning desire to “make it” fueled me, however; i clearly had no idea what “making it” meant. there are
make things, make you
i want more of my story to be told in a more poetic way. being an artist you’re allowed to express yourself however you’d like. i think i want to just live out the rest of my days being that artist. sharing things i like, sharing art that means something to me. i have a number of platforms that i use to do so https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LT7egF_VN4 i’ve never been to
i found a new way to cope
when i was about 16-17 i started my first clothing brand in high school. after the first collection was released i ordered more with my partner at the time. while i was in the car with my mom on the way to church i sincerely thought “after this.. it will be nothing but clear blue skies…” i was completely wrong with that statement. life has been a series of dramatic
