Earning a scholarship from Memphis College of Art right out of high school he studied traditional techniques, realism, minored in printmaking and majored in illustration.

At the same he time works to expand his notoriety nationally and internationally. <br /><br />He has been a part of the hip-hop and graffiti scene since the early age of 15 when he took to the streets, bombing. Right out of high school, he earned a scholarship from Memphis College of Art. There he studied traditional techniques, realism, minored in printmaking and majored in illustration. After he graduated from Memphis College of Art and attempted to secure a job in the corporate world, he quickly decided to pursue his dream of being a true artist; one that paints for himself.<br /><br />He works in various mediums, can paint just about anything on almost everything and does so with great ease. Because of this he has won several awards, has been in shows too numerous to count and his work can be found in almost every aspect of society, from murals, prints, shoes, fine art, bottles, cars, clothing, live demos, etc. His art employs characters to express a multi-faceted self-portrait of what is true, what is comforting and what is good.

Because of this he has won several awards, has been in shows too numerous to count and his work can be found in almost every aspect of society, from murals, prints, shoes, fine art, bottles, cars, clothing, live demos, etc. His art employs characters to express a multi-faceted self-portrait of what is true, what is comforting and what is good.

He currently resides there making his art known to the ever-evolving city of St. Louis along with expanding both nationally and internationally.<br /><br />He has been a part of the hip-hop and graffiti scene since the early age of 15 when he took to the streets bombing. Earning a scholarship from Memphis College of Art right out of high school he studied traditional techniques, realism, minored in printmaking and majored in illustration. After he graduated from Memphis College of Art and trying to secure a job in the corporate world, he decided to pursue his dream of being a true artist, one that paints for himself.<br /><br />He works in various mediums, can paint just about anything on almost everything and does so with great ease. Because of this he has won several awards, has been in shows too numerous to count and his work can be found in almost every aspect of society, from murals, prints, shoes, fine art, bottles, cars, clothing, live demos, etc. His art employs characters to express a multi-faceted self-portrait of what is true, what is comforting and what is good. These paintings convey humor and the irony of being human. He laughs back at life. He sends in the clowns where others would remain in quiet despair.<br /><br />The art he creates is constantly evolving and changing. Taking from both worlds the high art world along with the underground art and translating his experiences into a style with the feeling and power of the underground. There is one thing for sure he will always be creating, painting, pushing the envelope to achieve a different look, style, allowing him to be himself.<br /> http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=23730041 Mon, 21 Dec 2009 20:18:10 -0500 35.00 http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_155x125.66298163.jpg new 1 http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=23729933 <img src="http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.66297613.jpg" /><br /> $35.00<br /> This painting is from a series of works called “lost lucys“.<br /><br />Each “automatic” drawing is hand painted and uniquely collaged on to a found 5.5”x 8” Formica sample.

At the same he time works to expand his notoriety nationally and internationally.<br /><br />He has been a part of the hip-hop and graffiti scene since the early age of 15 when he took to the streets, bombing. Right out of high school, he earned a scholarship from Memphis College of Art. There he studied traditional techniques, realism, minored in printmaking and majored in illustration. After he graduated from Memphis College of Art and attempted to secure a job in the corporate world, he quickly decided to pursue his dream of being a true artist; one that paints for himself.<br /><br />He works in various mediums, can paint just about anything on almost everything and does so with great ease. Because of this he has won several awards, has been in shows too numerous to count and his work can be found in almost every aspect of society, from murals, prints, shoes, fine art, bottles, cars, clothing, live demos, etc. His art employs characters to express a multi-faceted self-portrait of what is true, what is comforting and what is good. These paintings convey humor and the irony of being human. He laughs back at life.
