On May 2nd I will be curating my first solo art show at Social Status. I will be exhibiting my work and other artist I have met over the years at Social Status. The topic is about Human duality, something discussed by  Carl Jung.

I made a digital pamphlet of what the basis of shows title came from.

Welcome Janolytes who are visiting an art show curated by me. By scanning the provided QR code you now have access to the digital pamphlets

Hey ya’ll see this nigga Jano? This mothafucka think this month gonna be sweet. Oh this nigga funny. Nah Black History month is gonna be filled with Wild monkey behavior. Yep, that was February with a…

Noir Noir

Dear Janolyes, I type this side quest as I watch the snow fall from my girlfriends apartment…..ITS SO FLUFFY!!! If i wasn’t cozy I would go down there and play in it. But I didn’t so hear we are. Its very mesmerizing as I glance in between words as Salimata plays in the background…literally. I just ate my Pocky, and finished reading TMNT The last Ronin lost years. Figured I might as well type out…

New Book Series: Azure Ascendance Level 9

  Dear Janolytes, Welcome to 2026, where all of a sudden everyone is nostalgic about a decade ago…even though everyone was so anti 2016 by the time the year ran its course. But nostalgia hits for whatever reason.  There were parts of the year I liked…me starting my art journey, being unemployed and working on projects at night while listening to Spotify. I may have hated the year but most of the…

Street Fighter

  Dear Janolytes, I’m fucking exhausted. On Kami Bro. Exhausted as fuck. Fuck Cottonfield 12 and this upgraded super slave season. No amounts of Yoga and sleep seem to be enough for the amount of Big Brown Cardboard Rape that I have experienced for the last few weeks and will face in the next few weeks. If you couple that with the stuff I have to do outside of work that pertains to my personal…

Sprightly Spring Saturday

  Dear Janolytes, I am currently typing this exhausted from the field and from errands post field. Again I say waking up after the sun for the field is a privilege. I’m legit too tired to segue this into the current social climate of this world. Maybe next time. SMH, at least I can type this with Ta-ku playing in the background. The spirit of 2016 still lives within in me. There is joy in being…
