Artist Statement.

Hip hop is my second nature. A form of zen, another nature for my well-being. The music brought me into it, and thereafter, the other 3 elements, the DJ, the Bboy, the graffiti artist, creating a raw, underground, uncensored culture immersed me deeply into what is rooted heavily as not just music, or a kind of dance, but a lifestyle. Hip hop found its way as to being a huge part of my life over time of taking part in the culture, through dance, rhymes, and the visual artform of graffiti. Eventually, hip hop has become a second reality.

I live through hip hop, day in, and day out. If I’m not partaking in one of the elements, I’m looking into any of the other elements, and observing how they play a part in creating and building a concrete, rugged culture.

The nature of the work I have to show places me and my soul in a state where the average 24 hour world doesn’t exist. Currently, I photograph graffiti, from tags, to bubble letters, to pieces, all the way down to wildstyles and murals. Some pictures will show work from legends such as KWEST, and other writers such as Flown, Sen, and many more.
