When I asked Benny why he bought the first secondary Skull of Luci 2 years ago he said “it looks like yoda” & “no one has a clue what you’ve built here”
When I asked why he just got it again for far more in addition to his other, he said “easy, this is just the beginning.…

One last cover for
@logic301
At some point you'll notice yourself standing in the hollow indents of footprints you've already made in a place familiar and loved yet distant as a dream. Hope you've learned what led you there. Now unravel, find peace, and ascend. No Pressure.

No Pressure back cover for Logic
Infinite oceans spill from each & every atom no matter how seemingly void. We dove endlessly into this 1 & you came with me each time I drowned. Grateful for your company, but once you're done here: rub the sleep from your eyes & get yours, baby.

I spent 10 months thinking: I'm too outside the space, too old, 3 paintings is a tiny output, I don't have a musical artist or brand to hide behind, no animation, too emo, too unrelatable, ugly monkey jpegs. But, I felt compelled, so I made them. And now the jpegs are real.

The original approved sketch for Logic's no pressure album cover. Took time to figure out how to unravel the scene I wanted to make but unlearning & relearning aspects of perspective/light/color to get there I genuinely enjoyed. Something I hadn't felt with painting for awhile.

Of all the dumb shit I put in the logic album covers I assumed no one would ever bother to find, making up this fake alphabet was easily my favorite/the dumbest so love you guys very much for taking the time to piece it together.

I. Birth of Luci
Second day
of the Second month,
We are ripped awake.
Unbalanced, wobbling, newborn.
Decades of corrupted memories
Cached in freshly scarred sinew.
Ignore the footprints.
Time to take our first steps again.

While my earnest side is genuinely so appreciative of everyone saying such sweetie things about the cover.. like every album release, the kindness only fills my heart so much. The rest I get from watching the beautiful psychodetectives decode everything. You are my fix. My favs🖤

Bernie's campaign was special for many reasons, but fundamentally, when you boil all of his policies down to the core: it was the first and only serious presidential campaign in history that valued human life enough to not kill people for money.

At the heart of a communal game of art and observation is the most dense and complex painting I’ve ever made. Hundreds of stories, woven into one.
