Because silence was never an option.

I’ve been through a lot, and this statement spea I’ve been through a lot, and this statement speaks volumes about what I’ve lived. I’ve danced through the fire and walked beside men in dark suits, in even darker places. It’s easy to be that person with a successful brand or business and sell out to investors—calling yourself a “master strategist.”

But the true master strategist is the one who’s gone far without sacrificing their morals for power or money. The one who’s succeeded without selling their soul for status, greed, or influence.

You can build something successful and still smile with peace in your heart—because you know it was God who did it for you, not someone trying to exploit you for their own gain.

If you take shortcuts out of impatience, you’ll regret it later when your eyes are finally opened. When you start building something great, people from all walks of life will approach you claiming they want to “support” you. But remember this—God won’t exalt you before it’s your time.

Just because something is right doesn’t mean it’s righteous.

Be patient. God gave you that calling, and you will make it. Don’t take the easy way out with investors or people who only want to use you for their own power and status. Use your voice and your time for God, because He’s the one who gave it all to you.

You built it from scratch—so don’t let anyone take credit for what God created through you. #artist #artindustry #musicians #rap #crossroads #godovereverything #mafia #musicindustry #vogue #deathrowrecords #godsplan #streetarteverywhere #streetlife #investors #venturecapital #businessowners #businesslife #business #livefree #selfmade #liveauthentic #artcollector #artworld #artbasel #artlover #streets #graffiti #nola #neworleans #miami
I’ve been stacked up on commissions lately, but I’ve been stacked up on commissions lately, but this was the beginning to many. And no matter the path I’m going down I will never silent my voice for the world, no amount of comfort or fiat will silent me. I will gladly turn down corporate deals especially if they don’t align with my faith and values. My art is a part of me that was gifted to me from God and Jesus. And I won’t ever downsize it just to fit in or make that buck. It’s difficult being bold with your faith in the art world, and or just in general but the world needs more boldness but it truly is worth it. You will face opposition and people telling you to be silent about your faith, but honestly that’s the reward of being who you are meant to be. Be unapologetic about who you are, what the gospel is and much more. Thank you to the ones who stayed with me through the thick of it, and never mocked me and or turned their back on me because of who I became. #art #artcollector #artcollection #abstract #makingadifference #modernart #abstractart #cubism #streetart #streets #modernart #love #honesty #kindness #joy #patience #integrity #artmagazines #artwatcher #artworld #boldness #lovely #reels #newcollection #newstyle #design

Thank you to @boldjourneymag for the opportunity t Thank you to @boldjourneymag for the opportunity to host this interview. 🙏 No matter what path I’ve taken, my art will always belong to God. 🎨✨

The art is always meant to speak truth. I’ve gone from the streets to the elites, turning down opportunities just to walk the path that best fits my calling. My art is more than profit—it’s a voice to speak truth.

This is a custom piece for an architect and builde This is a custom piece for an architect and builder out in New Orleans, and it’s something very dear to me. It’s about a place where I got lost—lost to witchcraft, lost to homelessness. But God used that same place to help build me into who I am today.

I’ve renounced my past life and turned to the Lord, and to the Lord only. I don’t need to be exploited to be the artist God called me to be. What I need is to keep my faith, and to keep my eyes and ears on Him alone.

He’s the one who gave me this style, and it’s one of the ones I love to paint with. Now it’s time to step fully into being the artist I’m called to be. #art #makingmemories #artcollector #abstractart #abstract #makingadifference #modernart #streetart #photograph #design #interiordesign #builttolast #cubism #adventure #artlife #artgalleries #vogue #collecting #makersgonnamake #fyp #dreamcometrue #dream #god
I made this painting last year when I first came h I made this painting last year when I first came home from Japan. This was sold during jazz fest this year and I recently got the photo back of it framed and hung up, thank you to the collectors. It’s Colorful it’s bright and it holds my voice that is dear to me. It was the start to a whole new chapter. I painted about a mixture of civil rights consumerism and the entertainment industry but one main thing I focused on and still and being consistent about is about the message using your voice just like many great civil right activist and evangelist has done in the past. Don’t let fear hold you back and don’t let comfort hold you down you can break free. #art #adventure #paint #acrylic #framing #artist #voiceforthevoiceless #neverbeafraid #adventureiscalling #vogue #fashionnova #photography #picoftheday #artlife #artgalleries #outcry #arte #travel #style #cute #fashion #framedartwork
This was from the early moments of that warehouse This was from the early moments of that warehouse project, there was a lot of change that was made, and there was a lot of filming that was put into the project. This project shifted me so much. I found many styles while I was in that warehouse. I found God while I was there in Japan. I was at my highest and lowest simultaneously, but the best came out of it. I found my voice and I’m sticking into it.

I love posting these moments — they remind me how far I’ve come through the trials and tribulations in my art journey.
This piece is now part of a private collection in Japan.

A man sowing seeds while overflowin, my first pai A man sowing seeds while overflowin,  my first painting of this kind, and my first time ever painting hands. But the message was clear: sow in faith, and heaven will overflow. What’s in your hand may seem small, but when it’s released in obedience, God turns it into abundance. This painting marks the beginning of something deeper. Inspiration from above.

Gotta respect the legends. I went from tattooing i Gotta respect the legends. I went from tattooing in trap houses and hustling just to get my name out — headed for a casket or a federal indictment. I should’ve focused on my art instead of the streets, but God pulled me out.

Now I only paint with purpose. Not for profit — but for the people.

While I was in Japan under a corporate investor backing my career, I started getting my back tattooed by the legend @amijames1 down in Miami. Real recognized real. We talked about art, tradition, and the power of the message.

This piece he’s holding — it speaks to the ones trapped in the scroll. Trapped in the lie of social media, AI and the phone. 

Put down your phone and ask God why.

You don’t have to stay addicted. You don’t have to be another statistic to a corrupt system

This is the most ironic wall I’ve ever painted—
And I love what I created.

I’m a muralist. A fine artist. A street artist.
I do ink work. I used to tattoo.
I used to tattoo in trap houses.

I did a lot of reckless things in the streets.
I nearly caught a federal indictment.
I’m not proud of any of it—
But I am blessed that God pulled me out before it was too late.

I gave up the drinking. The chain-smoking.
I used to spend thousands chasing false comfort,
flying down dirt roads with smoke pouring out my windows.

I was homeless in New Orleans.
Selling art to elites.
Feeling like a slave to my own talent.
Nearly signing away my legacy and estate to people I thought I could trust.

But God woke me up.
Christ stepped in right before I crossed the line.

This post isn’t to glamorize—
It’s to tell you that if you’re reading this…
You can turn your life around.

You can build something real.
You can blow up, make noise, and keep your soul.

You can have a platform built on rock, not sand.

You can choose Christ and still be someone in art.
In music. In film. In fashion.
You don’t have to sell out to the mafia, the gang life, or the elites.
You don’t have to join the shadow networks just to be seen.

I’ve been around filthy-rich people with no soul—
I don’t want that.

I’d rather be free and filled with peace than rich and hollow.

And even when I feel lost, God keeps reminding me who I am.

Just know:
My art is for the ones who aren’t giving up.
For the ones still climbing.
For the ones chasing truth over status.

“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” — Mark 8:36  #streetarteverywhere #art #God #outcry #streetwear #mystyle #mural #muralartist #muralpainting #warehouses #artcollection #civilrights #holyspirit #jesuschristislord #artlife #street #artsy #artlife #iam #worthyisthelamb #streets2theelites #interiordesign #exterior #paintings
