Sheeeeit! What a year!? From the gate, I'd like to thank everyone for all their love, support and friendship over the past 12 months!

This was a year full of revelations and growth, both personal and career wise. I discovered there is such a thing as work/life balance!? I even learnt to treat myself from time to time. (Those that know me, know I don't buy things for myself, I prefer memories over material.)

It was a year of travel, experience and networking. I got to journey across America via Route 66. Visited LA, Vegas, Arizona, New Mexico, Roswell, Marfa Texas, El Paso, Nola, NY and Philly. Visited all the state galleries and attended 2 of New York's biggest art fairs; Frieze and TEFAF. Saw close to 100 bucket list performances and comedians.

I did some of my best paintings (which will be revealed next year). But most importantly met some amazing people who play a great part in my life!

As much as I choose to focus on the highs, there were definitely some sad moments along the way, but we keep it pushing! "Cos my life is dope and I do dope shit!" Happy New Year, crew! ❤

About another day's work and we good. 🤙

This is the first cab off the rank of my new series. Painted the whole thing wet on wet all the way through, which came with some fun challenges. So far, so good!
