In 2018 I made two shirts to wear and pass out too friends for coachella.

I did my first solo show in 2020, in an alley behind Panda Express.

Me and my trusted companion, Mr. Goozy arrive in the alley the night before the show to install all of the street pieces.

Pretty frantic/excited before my first show, I stay up the entire night finishing some final details and going over my To Do checklist. After maybe an hour of sleep I go in the morning to check on all the street pieces and they are sliding and falling off of the walls. Fully sweating now, realizing my first solo show is going up in flames, I rush to the hardware store for emergency supplies.

I return with a drill and attempt to drill the pieces into the walls...this does not work. Right at my lowest point a car pulls up. The guy says his name is Mike, he heard about the show and is wondering if I need any help. Mike goes to the hardware store, returns with heavy duty clear tape and glue. We fix all the pieces, hang all the art, and we have been friends ever since.

Shapes are what we all started with, when learning about counting, drawing, and colors.

Seemed fitting for nine shapes, each with their own color and form, to represent being at the beginning of an art career and the creation of my first collection.

This collection is titled, "So Far So Good" because that is how I am feeling when asked about my career as a young artist.

Shoutout to my homie Kenny! Climbing down the ladder on the right side of the photo.

For me, this collection is about the artist process. The idea of when I'm changing a line, color, sizing, composition, or anything like that, I am the audience. BUT! Don't get me wrong...in the end, I hope you like it too.

"No one making a film or engaged in an artistic enterprise really has something to say, they have a feeling that they can't express by other means and a sense of enjoyment of that particular medium."
