I had to shed layers of who I thought I was. But I realized I couldn't move forward without the person who started it all. I went back and got her!

I present to you: “I Didn’t Know.”

The full collection will be available on my website this
Monday.

Doing something extra for the person who is everything.

I turned Chris’s birthday gifts into a cinematic zine/ mini book this year with voiceovers and hand-drawn pages.Seeing his reaction made every hour in the edit suite worth it.

Cheers to another year of your story, Chris!

Meet “Auntie Knows.” She’s the second to last piece of this production. She represents the patience and the wisdom it took to get here. She’s seen the journey from the first sketch to the final frame.

Only one more to go.

Merry Christmas everyone! Here’s a piece I created inspired by one of my all-time favorite movies and characters, The Grinch. 🎄💚

A few years ago, I produced, wrote, directed, shot, color graded, and edited a fun Christmas campaign made up of five 15-second commercials.

The concept was simple and playful. We used these iconic hands to sell the product.

It’s not Christmas without The Grinch. I made this small piece called “The Green One.”

I leaned fully into my naive art style with this one, loose, playful, and a little mischievous… just like him.

A few weeks ago we got to see one of my favorite artists, KAWS, at the KAWS FAMILY exhibition in San Francisco.

It was incredible. We had the best time, and I left feeling so inspired and ready to make more movies and create even more art.

This was one of the first digital pieces I created when I finally came back to making art.

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air has always been one of my comfort shows, and Aunt Viv? I adored her. #art #artist #blackart #blackartist #popart

This piece is probably one of the most personal I’ve ever made. I didn’t realize it at first, but it’s inspired by my Grandma June.

I miss her deeply.

I present to you “Maw Maw,” a piece from my It’s Been A Long Time art collection.

Just wait until you see what I’ve been creating beyond the digital pieces.

Sketch vs final artwork of my latest work “Wrong Universe, Right Time”

Where’s Batman when the city feels like it’s burning from the inside out?

“Wrong Universe, Right Time” is about that impossible balance...the hope of being saved versus the weight of everything still falling apart.

Spook & Chill is a horror-comedy we made on a micro-budget.

I put together a concise, visual breakdown...including lighting notes, product vs. BTS frames, and settings.

Making this one was so much fun!

It’s been fun mixing all the things I love into my art and playing around with new styles.

This one was a vibe! it reminded me of all the smooth, swaggy basketball players I grew up watching.

Here’s a quick look from sketch to final.
