“I f**k'd up the front. This is the painting now.” 🤷🏾‍♂️🎨

Sometimes the mistake is the move.
I sat with this piece too long trying to control it… then

I stopped fighting it.

Left it alone. Told the truth on it.

Today it sold.

That’s how it goes.

Peace to this Collector its going home with. Him

Onto the next. . . .

Needed this conversation more than I knew.

In a loud world, grounded artists still exist.

New collector alert — this 4¼ x 5½ inch piece found a new home!

Scarlett sent me this photo after placing it in her collection, nestled between her favorite books. That hit differently.

Grateful for every connection made through this work. One by one, the art keeps moving, and the vision keeps growing.

This one’s still untitled, but it always felt like a guardian spirit to me.
A little wild, a little wounded — always watching.
The kind of energy that lives in the corners of your mind and the heart.

Spring Solstice Report: ☀️🔥

Spring/Summer is about to be fire—good vibes, neo-soul energy, reggae, and kompa frequencies. This winter was brutal on my skin and spirit, making me see the world through different lenses. So much loss… My sister, the pillar of our family. My friend, gone too young. My auntie, my godmother… Death shifts inspiration, but it also fuels creation.

I keep building wealth and prosperity through art, but I can’t do it alone. I need my community. Come to my shows. Buy the art. Even if my biggest pieces are out of reach, I always create smaller ones with the same integrity. Let’s rise with the season. 🌿✨

Art is still for sale, even if I’m not outside today. This shot captures the grind—independent, direct-to-customer, no middleman. Just real connections.

Unfettered Dreams
The show is STILL up at Indigo Residence! HMU for an appointment if you want a private viewing.

➡️ DM or email at [email protected] to collect directly.

My studio is located in Little India, Jersey City—pull up via appointment and see a full-time artist at work.
