ive decided to do something i’ve never done that will come with great risk. i’m taking on a daily art illustration and minting project for the month of April. all works for this series are minted at KnownOrigin. during this time, i’ll be exploring wherever i can to soak up as much inspiration as possible. the risk factors come from minting. if you’re new to NFTs usually theres a gas

new chapters; unending dedication; prologue enamel pins, greetings πβπ¨
this is my journey. i’m honored having the chance to share it with those willing to listen while existing in this realm. when i think about it, i’ve walked a myriad of places in search for success through art. honestly i had no idea if any of this would amount to anything. or when. i laughed over the thought what if i knew in high school how many nights i

let it enfold you
i hope that you’ve been well. this is realistically the first journal entry i’ve made on my site for 2021. i’ve been so busy. there hasn’t been enough time to write about all the changes that’ve taken place in my life. i’m excited to be back though, it slips my mind how important it is to keep this site updated. today twitter reminded me how fucked everything is. like in

you come up with greatness overtime. like gold being tried against fires. what you see is the accumulation of experiences. peeking into the forever moment. furthermore our gazes into the hourglass trouble none. we’re cloaked experts, walking with giants. you are born into Maya.

the revolving heads.
sometimes parents have a hard time conveying what they want to say. i shouldn’t have to have any family stress when i turn 30. i’m 28. i’ll be 29 august 3rd. of course if the cosmos and my body allows for me to even meet that. or if covid, or yellowstone exploding, or one of the many tragedies to remind us how human we are transpires. it’s all tough cookies.

permanently at work
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

i’m looking at pictures of New Orleans through my friend’s instagram story
and i’m seeing parts of it i deeply miss. the abandoned naval base, or informational center?, they called it “The End of the World” or “The Edge of the World”. the base hugged the Mississippi River and met a channel that allowed boats to pass from a draw bridge. when i first wandered to New Orleans to start my art career i stayed in my friend’s apartment across the street

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 βmaybe 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
