"Keep Your Head On A Swivvle." 24inx24in Acrylic and sharpe For sale at Mint Gallery I always used to walk with my head low when i was younger. A caribbean kid living in the south. My grandma would always tell me, "Walk with your head up high." I had an accent that I no longer have because i was trying to fit in. Always trying to fit in. I moved to atlanta and found places and people that made sense to me. A young artist at the time trying to fit in. And then one day i wasn't trying to fit in. Everything started clicking. I kept ignoring being broke, or people telling me what i wanted to do sounded ridiculous. I just kept making. I kept being me. That kind of freedom cost. I have to be accountable for the lifestyle i chose to live. Time, patience, conversation, trust, love. I've gained those things and lost those things. Yet here i am. I am better at choosing those spaces. I'm better at setting those boundaries. I still love the gully, i f*ck up often. But those sacred spaces i got to carve out for my life when others told me i need to do this and that... it wasn't for me. I appreciate any honest, well thought out critique. God knows i've had them. But i gotta keep pushing forward. I'm comfortable being me. My sacred space is any room i can be in because i know it's uncomfortable to be in a room raw, giving your all. See you tonight. #art #atlanta #pbr #mintgallery #illustration #painting #acrylic #artshow #sacredspaces https://www.instagram.com/p/B6CstQNJZzu/?igshid=pl3i8kp0l1ai
