Look out for my art on this show! The AMC sci-fi comedy series was shelved by the network a while back before it had a chance to air. I'm glad "Demascus" found a home on Tubi, because the show is a dope concept.

My skateboards are in their new home in New York! I'm grateful to have a new collector. Shout out to Maison 10 Gallery for showing my work and making the connection.

It’s the 7the anniversary of my Punk Noir exhibition at the Carver Museum in Austin. This show meant a lot to me.

Working on my art installation at Meow Wolf Houston last year. On this day, I really got to take in the things that I enjoy about being an artist.

I had fun making my art piece at Meow Wolf Houston. One day there was a little mix up with my art supplies and the construction crew, but the Meow Wolf team got it quickly sorted out.

ive admired Dawn Okoro's art for nearly 20 years, dating back to MySpace... black art was in abundance online back then & Ms. Okoro was forging ahead. i felt like an artistic big brother to her back then, but one of my last exhibits was in a Tennessee bar in 2011 & Dawn has gone global with hers! 🤣
