Hidden piece in the LES.

Somewhere downtown. Hoping it lasts more than a few days.

Hoping to keep this spot in Soho after my last piece was unceremoniously removed by an unknown entity.

The sad reality of New York street art is that it doesn’t run very long at all.

Recycled paper and acrylic. A few added silk-screened images, an attempt to capture a ghost of what used to be on the streets of New York.

Street art's dead. Graffiti won the battle. Completely taking control when the city went quiet and the people stayed inside. Now it's just spray tags, angry kids marking territory they'll never own.

Are you fed up with mega galleries and Yale art graduates controlling the landscape of American art?

Was that 247th Basquiat show all you could stand?

I don’t make art to impress some prick with a degree in bullshit. I make art because I have to whether it sells or not. Witgh a commission from me you get raw, honest art, no middlemen, no markups for the privilege of being “seen”. No Activism, No Guilt. Just work from the artists hand to your wall.

This is my first blog post, a starting point for sharing my art and thoughts. Here I hope to trace how my art evolves from this point on as well as what I admire (and occasionally don’t) in others work.

Hoping to offer something real for those who choose to follow along. Photo: In studio. Abstract paper and acrylic piece on the wall from 2021
