Born in the home of the brave, the founding city of liberty and freedom.

Raised in the shadows of abandoned factories.

Growing in the despair of lost manufacturing and jobs.

Bars on every corner full of the last working men in blue collars.

Meanwhile anything from ass to drugs sold on the corners in broad daylight.

Lack of work, the rise of desperation, and bubbling of overcrowding making for a powder keg of violence.

Our country still healing from heavy after effects of segregation, and the civil rights movements fresh in our memory.

Ironically outsourcing jobs to slaves the other side of the world.

Our desperation for work and change was fuel for a powerhouse of art, fashion, music, and culture.

I learned to hustle before social media, cultivated skills before Youtube, and quenched knowledge without Google.

Before the pound sign was converted to a hashtag.

Our culture, original and exclusively American.

While these influences are not exclusive to myself, they have heavily influenced my personal style and art.

Style firmly rooted in the past while still being original and progressive.

Being an artist, I'm an open book and anxious to share my gifts, while staying conscious of the environment and social issues.

Always with the highest integrity, authenticity, and complete originality.

Many years of challenge  has went into the life that inspired my style.

My children have raised me more than i raised them.

My Mother who put crayons in my hand and never stopped encouraging my gift.

And to the most high.
