I Wonder, 2021 This ones about the pursuit of dicovery, leaping into the unknown and having faith in the process. It's about the explorer in us that risks their sanity or even their life to light a dark room for the rest of humanity. It's a reminder to always wonder. ... @gomikaella and @tonyayoo - it was a pleasure hanging her in your home. Hope you enjoy this piece for many years to come

Dear Artist, In the old days of eastern martial arts, fighters began and ended their journeys with the same belt. Masters didn’t award coloured ones. They were more shrewd than that. Instead, they watched as students belts soaked up particles of pain, dyeing the unmarked white fabric with splotches of yellowed sweat.... Gradually, blood would redden over the fainted-yellow. Grass would green it and mud would colour it brown. Each tightly packed spec of suffering stained the entirety of the cotton strap, rendering it an elegant shade of death; sublimely portraying the warrior’s capacity for it. In the modern world, we seek no masters out of ego and, we hunt for instant results out of fear. A black belt can be purchased with money saved from hourly wages, in the form of luxurious frills; shielding our egos and cowering our fears even further. Sometimes we have to just let go. Let go of pressures. Let go of the pain. Let go of desires. Let go and surrender to the universe. And finally, let go of letting go. Focus on one brushstroke at a time, as you climb towards the summit. On your way up, keep your spirit ignited, in the coldest of circumstances- for the world needs you. May your future belt nauseate you with its fragrance, arouse you with the taste of pride and... Suffocate you with eternal peace.

Sold - With Death Comes Life, 2019 This piece was sentimental to me, so I'm glad she found a home with my close friends @allengo27 and @xiiaaa In retrospect, t...he painting was about balance and where to shed ones focus. It reminds us that we can stare at the giant skull that's dead center in our scope. Or we can look outside, direct our focus at the vibrant background and follow any number of roads to see where they take us. It's a visual pendulum of good and bad, white and black, self and other. ... And so, "life and death are one thread, the same line viewed from different sides." Shoutout to Lao Tzu.

Astro Lisa, 2020 Oil, acrylic, house paint, spray paint and pen on readymade Ikea Panel. Super fun commission done for my bro @travelsnbeer ... He gave me his Ikea Banksy inspired print to paint over. I tried to be as experimental and spontaneous as I could be, to speak to Tyrone's personality.
