My style is almost a mix of street art with surreal elements. I make street art characters but melt them or twist them like a graffiti artist twists letters to flow together to create a unique piece that intrigues the viewer.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in hip hop & hip hop culture. I usually have a lot of inspiration from music, from music videos, the music artists, producers, djing, break dancing, and fashion elements. It is my goal to portray the culture in my work.
What would you do with $25,000?I would definitely be able to bring my artistry to new levels. I would create an LLC for myself. I would use some for art supplies, merch, and I would be able to push my art further into different cities annd markets out of the Philly, New York, and New Jersey area.
