Graffiti is my outlet and a way of life. It is a true subculture with a rich history and roots. I often paint images that challenge the viewers to ask questions about themselves. I try to create a dialog between my work and the viewer hoping to evoke social consciousness within that individual. Graffiti for me is a powerful political tool if used properly. I thank GOD for the ability to create on the level that I do. Im far from being a saint obviously graffiti also has it’s dark side of bombing and rebellion. I indulge in all spectrums of this artform and do my best never to take myself or graffiti to seriously. Im also a designer who takes pride in making innovative designs for toy consumer products, fashion and advertisements. I have done work for big and little guys. Im a huge fan of Transformers G1 and the Urban Vinyl movement. Im currently designing my own vinyl figures "minigods" "givers. of. divine. sound"TM. visit www.minigods.com for more info. My work has been shown at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum,Boston. S.M.F.A Grossman Gallery Boston, Boston Center For the Arts Gallery, Cambridge Center for Adult Education, Harvard Square, Orange County center for contemporary art, Copley Society, Boston, 33 1/3Books and Gallery L.A, Crewest gallery L.A,Meltdown L.A, S.D Visual Artist Guild, Union 237 gallery Philly, and the Museum of Fine Arts Throughout my endeavors as a fine artist I will always stay true to my roots as a Graffiti Writer. I pray that my growth spiritually and artistically will continue to make a difference consciously and socially. I only hope to establish more meaningful and constructive relationships with those who aspire to do the same. Peace
