Words can’t describe how excited I am. Designed my own Air Jordan 1 which is a part of the “Fearless Ones” Collection. Ive been making art for a really long time and it feels amazing to see all the hours paying off.

First album cover I did was Isiaiah Rashad’s “The Sun’s Tirade”. Hand drawn. Colored on photoshop. Always appreciate the opportunity and Isaiah for trusting me w his work and ideas.
I remember the good old days of ig. Could post a picture of a pop sickle and get hella love. Feels so serious now. Like I gotta paint the Sistine Chapel for a few flame emojis. Tough crowd. 😅
Kobe Bryant by “Bryan” Blue. Wanted to make something to pay homage to a legend. Also doing a 24. Going to make this into a tee hoodie and stickers. Would like to give these away for free. If I can’t find a way to do that I will donate all proceeds.

@hbomax
for letting me flip a classic. Can’t wait for the reunion. 😢
Favorite part about the meet and greet last night. Lol. Met the little homie in Dallas. He makes customs. I follow him ig. He requested to be in the live yesterday lol.
Painted and shot
@ScHoolboyQ
’s “Crash Talk”cover. Fun fact: cover is shot on film (Rz67) probably a 5 ft painting. I used real dollars and airbrush and tape them on as well as painting some of the bills.
Imagine telling Basquiat he has to post during a certain time of day and feed into the rules of social media. needs to put more content on his TikTok. This shit lame as hell.
😅 casually chillin at the crib. Lol I should get this framed better. My first album cover ✍🏾 for Isiaiah Rashad. I remember where I was when I drew this and the other cover that got rejected. Feel like I was a part of a classic album. I did the small part. Crazy.
One year ago I got a chance to put my spin on a classic. Shoutout to
@jumpman23
for giving me a chance to make art w them. Couldn’t have been more happy w the creative freedom I was allowed in making this shoe. Wanted it to feel special. Wanted it to feel like art.
“Revenge of The Dreamers III Deluxe” (Acrylic on canvas. Bryan Blue. 2019.)
They didn’t give me a verse on the album but I landed the cover so it’s all good.

I remember trying to keep the number of people I follow under 1k. But that shits super lame Lol. “Ooh he’s so cool he only follows 99 people.” Lame. It’s ok to be interested in stuff/people.
My beautiful Mother opened her store today. I flew in to cop some of her art. She makes Resin paintings and coasters. Very proud! She has always pushed me to continue to make art. Here’s the info if you are in the Dallas area. Please make sure she sells everything out!!!
Give those album covers to actual artist not ai. Help someone achieve their dreams and get they art out… maybe they will be able to make a living off what they love like u or possibly inspire the next human. Or get free uninspired covers from AI. Miss me w the debate.
I’m having a moment right now. I’ve played
@NBA2K
for 20+ years. Im not that great at hooping in real life lol but to have the shoes I designed for
@Jumpman23
officially in game means a lot. Bout to go yell real quick. BRB.
Art world is such a nasty, hype driven fake place. I hope you playing the game at least and not really thinking it’s about how good you paint. That’s not even half the battle. This shit like wrestling. Lol. Theatrics. Just like music.
