I recently completed a custom commissioned piece for HD Dreams Visuals. It didn't take as long as I thought it would. I guess I was inspired. I have really been painting as much as I've been sketching and planning. I've been trying to align my mind and actions in preparation for what I have on my plate. Dayum! My plate looks pretty piled up! It's a good thing I stay hungry! Well, September begins with me sprinting like I'm going for gold! On the 3rd through the 6th I'll have piece featured in an exhibition for the Democratic National Convention. This came about through a collective I'm part of, which is known as Culture Initiative. Culture Initiative is based out of Charlotte, NC but it consists of artists residing in the Southeast. The exhibition will be held at the Packard Place, which will be home to all alternative forms of media for the duration of the convention. Unfortunately, I heard Charlotte will be locked down like a fortress. I won't be going there at all. However, I'm very thankful for Culture Initiative allowing me the opportunity to be a part of history!
On the 15th, I'll be painting live at One Unit Artspace. I'm part of a show which will be featuring Akil the MC, Ghani Gautama, Quanstar, Crockery and Trublklef. I plan to break out a piece that'll be part of my solo show for next year. I gotta expose the people to the NEWNESS when I can, ya feel me! I am amped too! I met Akil around 4yrs ago. He's a real stand up dude! The other Emcees are mad talented and rep the Southeast in a major way, this is gonna be hella sick!
I'll be sure to post some pictures of this event, no doubt!
I'm also painting live on the 21st at a rock event, and on the 22nd I'll be part of UNCC's community day event. Stay tuned for updates and pictures fo sho. Thank you for riding with me on this journey. I can promise you all its only gonna get better!
Culture up!..EL-Evate &EL-Luminate!
