I miss days I’ve never lived.
Why crave more from life than what I’m shown?
To travel past the unknown and for the memories to be mine to hold.
As valuable as gold, attract caves but never dig.
go listen to culture of fear – thievery corporation and stfu
Fantasy becomes more distant once u exit the void and embark on a journey for the truth.
‘You want a perfect offering when you yourself, are not a perfect offering.’
The city harbors people that crave an insane level of importance.
Delusion gets you far & you’re always spinning the block on a fantasy.
Name a better name for a band than, ‘Primal Scream”.
I literally always want to scream primally.
I feel nothing when I look at your work because..
..you feel more than what you’re willing to convey on the canvas.
It doesn’t translate visually and it won’t until you commit.
Just because you roam the streets of LES looking and feeling unkempt
(been there, done that)
doesn’t mean it magically translates to the consumer.
Im not a professional painter.
I paint to analyze my emotions and not go crazy.
It is so obvious to me when people are making a mockery of painting.
They think,
‘let me pick the deepest title that forces critical thinking and attach it to this painting I did with minimal effort and nothing in my heart.’
They have nothing to show but everything to say.
Why not just be a writer at that point?
Anyway it always works for them.
They get in the galleries and always sell their work because empty people consume empty art.
Anyone can paint but not everyone is a painter.
THERES NO SUCH THING AS A LESSER OF 2 EVILS.
THEY’RE BOTH EVIL IF THATS THE CASE.
Most times it’s really disheartening being American.
There are so many rights I’m aware that I have.
Does any of that matter when were always funding a genocide and told
to look the other way?
We’re constantly on the wrong side of history and everyone here just
consumes themselves to death with things that have no meaning in the metaphysical.
Everyone has a role in this game that is life.
The world is like a machine that takes many pieces to function.
You have the town crier who keeps everyone informed,
the documentarians who keep track of history and leave artifacts behind,
the ones who are in the field experiencing what we analyze
& the npc background characters who do enough to get by but let things happen without any question.
They are the most violent in my opinion.
Without them nothing monumental that shifts the ways of the world would happen…
Nothing would be consumed, only created and destroyed..
..now im questioning if they are the most important.
Without the npcs we’d have to have a court held to make decisions for every single thing.
People would actually never leave the courthouse.
I guess it’s a blessing in disguise most of the world is made up of npcs that just let things happen,
I almost forgot the ones who hold positions of power.
They take into account everything they see but ultimately make the final call on what happens next.
I believe we all desire to be in that position at some point but only few get the option.
Some receive the power and are crash dummies/ examples what not to do.
This has to happen.
While some do great things with it and for their brains I am ever grateful.
Decide which category you fall under and stand on it.
No one is ever wrong.
Wrong is subjective and I’m not god but there is god within me.
That is why and how I create my own reality and am at peace with it.
Something about an abandoned car from the 90s eternally parked in a field of overgrown grass.
INTERVIEW W/ TRUE RELIGION
Coexistence nourishes humanity.
Loving you is like a trip,
an unrequited one way.
I packed an overnight full of sentiments just small enough to fit overhead.
Yours was too full so you checked it instead.
Filling pages in my moleskin and they all come back to u.
Artifacts of what I’ve been given vs those I can relate to.
I chose a different approach to avoid the chaos that could follow.
Hollow; I pray it’s not empty when I knock.
No one answers when I show up uninvited.
I’ll take a lap around the block and come back if you keep trying.
Only if that thick air doesn’t dry out my skin..
but nothings more piercing than the insert, acts of going in.
I can handle a needle with intentions of forever.
Most times it’s the imprint and idea of “better” that puts the soul to rest.
Nonetheless…
You can lay your head down if you feel safe and stay a while when you’re bored of the chase.

FW 23
Fashion week breaks my heart every season,
beause you got a thing for chasing models in the evening.
&&& sometimes you like to pose for the shot,
anything for a quick rack, quick stack.
I don’t blame u but I wish u cared more about your art.
That’s why I fell in love with you from the start.
I turned down walking my first show because that city makes me anxious and real uncomfortable..
I’m too vulnerable for it.
You can meet me in the woods if you want.
I like mud, touching leaves, and chasing butterflies for fun.
You choose status over love.
I choose visions over trust.
Cut it off because it’s too much.
Why everybody in a rush these days?
