“In expanding my current body of work I’ve applied the skills I’ve developed in style writing with aerosol, to create hybrid pieces that involve typography, abstract elements, and realism onto canvas. From pop culture figures brandished in productions, realistic paintings of rust and decay from the urban landscape to detailed color studies and line work within a graffiti piece, the core material for my paintings remains spray paint.”
