2013

Life has the best way of making creativity come about regardless of monetary transactions. I have not painted so much and shown so little in so long as I have now. Hello everyone, it's 2013! What a trip! I will soon celebrate my 34th birthday and I am well aware that I am still very young indeed. I continue to live a life of passion and it marks my everyday.

My art has seen some shifts to it. Throughout the 2012 season I saw some of the largest canvas works to date and two very impressive, large scale murals. My work started to become brighter and more geometric. Messy spray was coupled with clean and calculated line work and I have moved further away from the strict and sure graffiti roots into the graffiti abstraction I am known for. The work is changing. The art is transforming.

2013 looks as though it will be a year to explore new ideas. I often find myself moved by emotion and stirred by my personal life when I approach the studio. I took on a massive personal project in 2012 and I am about to embark upon a new one right away. My work has carried well into the motorcycle community and is even going to hit the coastal United States this year. I am grateful for the continued support of my family and friends, clients, DaDe Gallery and those whom view my work from around the world.

Stay tuned, share the site, collect the work and continue your pursuit of passion.

Summer has run out...

September has always been the start of the new year. For me, it is a time to enter into learning, your craft, your skill and the blunt harshness of the soon winter which will only make you run for warmth or bury deep into your work and life. I choose the latter, though I do have moments of warmth.

My August was incredible and my US tour proved well. A lot of promotion occurred and many miles were added to my Harley and to my life experience. It was amazing. I am home now and looking at what could be a busy and strong month ahead. Please stay on the look out for any events on my Twitter feed or Instagram, and keep your ears open for more from my More Or Less Project as well as another project that may launch in the fall.

All my best, stay creative and bless up!

August Vacation

I am away for August enjoying the much needed rejuvenation of my soul, body and mind. Some the time away has to do with my art and some to do with More Or Less ( www.moreorlessproject.com ) Either way, it all has to do with taking some time for inspiration, relaxation and growth. So, if you are trying to email me or get at me this month, I will be away and taking this time to its fullest. Thank you and enjoy your summer.
