i'm not even gonna say rest in peace because it’s bigger than death. i never met the man (i was too nervous the one time i saw him) and i never saw him play live, regrettably. i only know the legends I’ve heard from folks and what i’ve heard and seen from his deep catalog of propellant, fearless, virtuosic work. my assessment is that he learned early on how little value to assign to someone else’s opinion of you.. an infectious sentiment that seemed soaked into his clothes, his hair, his walk, his guitar and his primal scream. he wrote my favorite song of all time, ‘when you were mine’. it’s a simple song with a simple melody that makes you wish you thought of it first, even though you never would have - a flirtatious brand of genius that feels approachable.  he was a straight black man who played his first televised set in bikini bottoms and knee high heeled boots, epic. he made me feel more comfortable with how i identify sexually simply by his display of freedom from and irreverence for obviously archaic ideas like gender conformity etc. he moved me to be more daring and intuitive with my own work by his demonstration - his denial of the prevailing model...his fight for his intellectual property - ‘slave’ written across the forehead, name changed to a symbol... an all out rebellion against exploitation. A vanguard and genius by every metric I know of who affected many in a way that will outrun oblivion for a long while. I’m proud to be a Prince fan(stan) for life.

Diamond/Heart-Shaped, Square Gallery Grid - DIY

Partially inspired by the raw wood pieces I got from Jeremy Biggers and partially freestyled, I put this installation up in my stairwell last night. It’s a collection of some of the people/moments I hold dear. The shape formation works as a heart or a diamond - take your pick. 💙 💎

DiY Details:

Order a gang of 4x4 prints from the Walgreens app. They’re like $0.39 each.

Go to Home Depot and pick out a big ass piece of plywood for $5 and have them cut it into 6x6 squares FOR FREE, bitch!

Get some sandpaper to smooth out rough edges.

Get some stain if you wanna do the alternating checkerboard thing, or just go raw. #pause

Cop some Modge Podge. I went with Matte. One bottle was more than enough.

Gonna need a few brushes. Just get a cheap kit that also comes with a tray and roller.

Cop a gang of those 3M adhesive strips. The smallest ones will hold these.

Go through the bitchass self checkout and check yourself out, cuz no one there seems to want to do that.

Go to Walgreens and pick up your prints - they should be ready by now.

Sand, stain, modge podge, paste photo, layer more modge podge, let dry, hang in a cool grid pattern.

Take a tight flick of it and tag me in it so I can see.

Saint Sebastian, Exquisite Pain by Damien Hirst. 🐂 🏹10-foot-tall piece, showcasing a bull pierced by arrows, alludes to the hundreds of portrayals of the Christian martyr in art history. The bull is strapped to an iron beam, cased in glass and formaldehyde. #damienhirst #dallas #vscocam (at The Goss-Michael Foundation)

The Immaculate Heart - Sacred by Damien Hirst. 🐂❤️🔪 Basically a dead bull's heart with a dagger shoved through it, wrapped in barbed wire, floating in formaldehyde, valued very highly. 💰 Had the pleasure of working around it for a couple of days. #damienhirst #fuckupsomecommas #dallas #vscocam (at The Goss-Michael Foundation)
