Handing out flyers, it’s a day time rally; raunchy, hot, liquor, whip-it and drug filled congregations. The constituents follow suit, pledge themselves to the platform. We’re canvasing the streets flyer after flyer spreading the party’s ideology. Democrats, Republicans, leftist, separatist all welcome. The cumgressional cockus. Bring the alcohol and sexual malfeasance. Sexual liberty and sexual service. A coalition of escaping responsibility. A call for unanimous consent, vote, veto, whislteblowjob is my personal privilege. 7 week recess? I’ll reach around and across the sexual political spectrum up and down the ticket. Tell the Speaker turn that shit up, it’s time to turn the fuck out! It’s the Ditch Party..

Taking the design language from 90s Los Angeles flyer crews for Ditch Parties they warned my generation about in afterschool specials and school assemblies. The US Legislative branch is constantly on break/recess/not at work regardless of whatever is going in the with the American people, they ditch us. Each flyer alludes to a sexual scandal committed by a US legislator, get your googles up..

Using the print style of the iconic Los Angeles print company Colby Posters I wrote out quick sayings that emphasis the levels of gentrification in not only areas that I used to be when I was younger but Los Angeles as a whole..

Continually reflecting on my place in America and Americana where black boys like myself are slaughtered and brown boys that look like me both have to deal with the constant dumbing down and erasure of their cultures. I decided to take what I feel is the perfect representation of Americana, the series of posters done for the Herman Miller summer picnic by designer Steve Frykholm. I dropped the term picnic, which originated in France(picque-nique), but was co-opted in the Antebellum South and “picnic like outings” often lead to lynchings. I added a more appropriate term, cookout because we are out in the park cooking the fuck out. It’s a celebration of Black and brownness. I changed each poster to represent the Americana I live within..

I had a dream I ran LA

I'd bring back cruising down Crenshaw

100.3 the beat was 92.3 the beat again

And I spoke at Low End Theory on Wednesdays

Everyone wore Kobe shirts at Clipper games

We'd drive down Whittier BLVD

I'd reopen world on wheels and bring back access

I'd move the Lakers back to the forum

I'd make Dre release Detox

and I'd kick all the yuppies out of Highland Park

I'd bring back Johnnies Pastramis on Adams

I'd take off the curfew at the grove

I'd make all the light skinned girls at UCLA answer text messages

I'd fire all the LAPD

I'd make System of a Down and Rage get back together

Everyone would have August 15th off

I'd have my work hung in LACMA

And I'd I have my own art show

I think the most important thing I can teach has nothing to do with being a great artist or being good at sports or some other arbitrary something. To me, the biggest lesson is friendship and being a good friend.

To be able to say: "I love you, bro" and mean it.

There's something great about finding people that will do anything for you, and you'll do the same because why?

Because fuck it, that's why.

It takes an effort to be there for someone, but in reality, it's effortless.

No part of me would say, hey this is like the best time of my life, but this is a dope ass time of my life.

We catch ourselves thinking, why are our friends so close and have been for so long.

It's been us, and we've added, but no one really ever gets booted or falls off, once you're in the circle you're in.

We just seem to attract the right type of people.

That's real like I think it even goes with the women we bring around too. None of us are winning a beauty pageant. We don't fight off the women, but like when it comes down to it, we're all young, we're all are hard-working, we want the all-mighty gusto. I think people take notice of that, even it's subconsciously, they see it..

How else would you explain how so many of us all chill tough, have fun and stay close for so long.

From afar, you can see us partying, drinking, being loud, and making fools out of ourselves, but what else are we supposed to do? Do you want boring? We don't do boring.

We fight amongst ourselves, but it's nothing hot wings and a beer won't solve. Because we couldn't be around people that want to hold grudges over who ate whose cereal, fuck outta here with that. If I were to describe any of us anytime, it would be easy, young, broke, hustling to get paid, drunk or looking to get drunk, chilling, and trying to find a girl who is willing to put with us. There's never a dull moment when you can find someone you can split a pitcher with..

With that being said, I've spent summer 2011 until Spring 2015 in college living, doing all sorts of things that I couldn't even imagine. I can look back and say there are a few, "damn what could have been," but fuck that because I'm happy with everything I've done, so why would I look back?

If you or if you did read that long sprawl, this is entirely different.

the Degenerates Art Show was my first attempt at entertaining an audience. I did by collected photos of my friends and me for 4 years. Everything we did, I had my camera ready to snap. At the time, I was not a good technical photographer, and most of the photos were taken on auto. I remember being somewhere needing to get a quick snap, and everything was blurry. I got so frustrated. I yelled, "WHY WOULD A CAMERA ALLOW SHIT TO BE BLURRY!" In the end, the show was a fucking insane night, a night I will never forget. We sold tacos, we painted the floor, we drank alcohol, we had a concert, etc.

Anyways, the show was compiled of somethousand photos pasted around gallery walls in a timeline of events starting right before 2011 and ending in Spring 2015.

I had a friend perform his music, his first performance. I created a stage with lighting, blacking out the rest of the room except where he was standing. There's one thing here not to forget in Spring 2015, there was a way to get a Geo-filter on Snapchat, but it wasn't monetized, nor was it even advertised. At the time, the only filters were locations, and even those were for big cities. I got a filter on Snapchat for midnight Thursday before the show before anyone had ever seen that before. It was the first time anyone on the campus had ever seen that. I calculated how much it would have cost a couple years later $12700 lol

I'll be honest, Late Bloomers was the WORST show of the three. Anything that could go wrong went absolutely wrong. The art in the show was a display of photos(some not mine) and graphics(all mine) that asked the viewer the question, "What controls you?" I used real-life things like the Clintons with Trump and the Westbrook Durant relationship. The graphics here are a Jell-O branded quaalude, the tweet Kid Cudi sent out in Kanye's Saint Pablo typeface and the NFL seal with confederate iconography. DAMN SHAME NOBODY WAS ABLE TO SEE BECAUSE THE VENUE OWNER DECIDED TO PUT BENCHES IN FRONT OF THE VIEWING AREA. I lost money, the sound was terrible, wasted tacos, it rained, and this was around the tragic Oakland warehouse fire. Hence, the police shut us down before we really got started. I don't even have cool marketing tactics to show off, it is what it is.. The middle child is always the strangest.

In contrast to Late Bloomers, Unity was very next level. It did rain again. There's a video of me on stage complaining about it somewhere. This show I did with three other people, bought my own sound system, convince one of the other artists to have the show at his house. We threw the art show house party. Leading up to the show, we had good weather all they up to the Monday before. Then is decided to rain the entire day, did not matter much it was a great night. This ended up being the last show of the series. I do not have a name for the series; the Jiveass series? the College years? the Bay Area years? I'm not sure, but it was the end of me doing art + music in Hayward. The artwork I displayed was the first in a current series of pieces that used the context of pop culture icons and line art.
