CC and I create through a powerful back-and-forth: I explode across the wall with raw, high-energy graffiti and spray paint, while (CC) hacks in the digital systems — refining the image into a collaborative masterpiece. This graffiti-to-digital dialogue turns physical walls into living on-chain phygital experiences. Walls-to-wallets.
Where do you find inspiration?I draw inspiration from our origin wounds and survival. I walked through fire — war, prison, and 11 years in solitary. My partner CC survived drowning at age 3, severe mental illness, and a near-successful suicide attempt. From that silence, pain, and the Creator’s light, we rose unkillable. We now break chains and build for the Protected Assets — the next generation we are determined to shield.
What would you do with $25,000?I would fuel Spray The Chain — our 5,000 sq ft Guinness World Record mural in Madison, Wisconsin. This indoor phygital masterpiece uses QR codes in the paint to trigger AR overlays so viewers can mint NFTs directly from the wall. We are attempting 7 Guinness World Records while bringing kids and street artists legitimacy in the art world through blockchain technology. Turning trauma into permanent on-chain legacy — walls to wallets.
