Manic Mondaze (2022)

Manic Mondaze was the first acrylic painting that I minted on the blockchain. Painting has always been an outlet for me to express myself & my feelings/emotions.At the time I had been mainly focusing on digital illustrations & was missing the peace that comes with painting. This piece is the beginning of a shift towards primarily making acrylic paintings.acrylic on wood panel ~ 16.25” x 16.25”minted 5/9/22collector of token can claim physical painting. physical painting shows process video via AR

DrinkUP! (2015)

This piece is an important piece for me as it is one of the first pieces that I started getting "recognition" for.It started as a black and white marker drawing that I digitized & colored on the computer.It was featured on a beer can for Collective Arts Brewing's dry hop sour.

The same year, the black & white version was showcased at an event put on by MTN Dew and the NBA in both Atlanta and Miami.

Schoolbus Graveyard 4x4 (2015)

I spray painted this 4x4 at a place just north of Atlanta at a place called Schoolbus Graveyard.An artist friend of mine made friends with the owner of a junkyard and he started letting people come by and paint buses/cars.I painted there a few times and it was always a good time & a great spot to get some spraypainting in.

BUILT2DESTROY (2022)

Acrylic on wood.
I made this piece as "performance art" with the intention of destroying it. I minted the finished piece & listed it as an auction with a message hidden in the description saying THIS PIECE WILL SELF DESTRUCT.As soon as the auction ended i switched the image to a video of the painting being made and then destroyed with a sledgehammer.

Art is temporary, everything is temporary. Also, to me, there is something really special about pouring hours of time and heart and soul into a painting just to offer it as a sacrifice.

This piece was made for Terrell Jones "Born 2 Die" remix contest & was selected as one of the winners. I knew I wanted to sacrifice the physical piece that I made, so I doused it in lighter fluid & lit it up. This was the third & final sacrificial physical for me for 2022.

Daily Acrylic Therapy (2022-2023)

In August 2022, I felt like I wasn't painting as often as I wanted to & crypto had recently crashed. I decided to paint a wooden postcard (mailable) every day for a year as a form of therapy and as a way to stay involved in cryptoart.Painting with acrylics has always been healing for me and I wanted to push that idea and treat each day's painting as if it were a visual journal/diary. Whatever my feelings/emotions were that specific day, I let them out without any restrictions or limitations aside from medium.I tried not to worry too much or focus on if I liked each individual piece, knowing that in the end the value is in the process and the entire collection as a whole. I now have a full year documented in the form of 4"x6" acrylic paintings.I also minted each day to the blockchain as a form of a timestamp. I ran into some issues around day 290 but kept painting every day.

extra days to make up for the first four that were sent to good friends/collectors...
