Grayscale // The Metal Tee (Concept)

One from the vault — and still one of my personal favorite pieces I’ve ever illustrated.

Originally created for @grayscalepa and affectionately dubbed (by me) the “Metal Tee,” this design was meant to pair with their track Not Afraid to Die.

A twisted homage to classical sculpture, grief, and grit — complete with barbed wire, bone, and wings. Gothic, grotesque, and right up my alley.

It never officially dropped, but some of the most meaningful work doesn’t always see the light of day.

💀 Vaulted, but never forgotten

Grayscale // Tour Backdrop

Fun little backdrop jawnski for the @grayscalepa bois. A play on “Portrait of a Carthusian” and a nod to every dude in North Philly

Soul Series // The Stars Give, The Stars Take

We enter, we exit — and somewhere in between, the Creator breathes something eternal into us.

Part of the Soul Series: a reminder that your light didn’t start with you, and it won’t end with you either.

Still Empty Series // The Drink

Another homage to the false gods. This piece is about the numbing, the coping, the story we tell ourselves when we use substance to feel more alive or more like ourselves.

Still Empty. Still searching.

Sketch // I Picked You

“I picked these for you.”

But the truth is, I picked you.

And sometimes that’s where it all unravels. When we choose love and lose ourselves in the process.

A soft one with sharp edges.

Still Empty Series // Dollar I Pray

Money as god, emptiness as gospel.. still empty.

Soul Series // Hold My Tongue

Bro, I know this one all too well.. ever gave your voice away and suffer because of it? This one’s about the power of the word, the silence that stings, and the cost of not honouring your own voice.

Your tongue isn’t cheap — don’t hand it over.

Still Empty Series // Skatin' On a Buck

Ghosted by fulfillment. This piece is about the constant chase of the dollar bill, skating on the value of a piece of paper—and still ending up hollow. Skating on lies we’ve been sold.

Soul Series // X-ACTO

She’s an old one but a sharp one. Pulled from @torso_the_horso's track “Xacto”—a soul series moment about being cut deep and choosing what spills out.

Swipe for the OG hand-painted tee I gave away back in 2019. Might just revive this one 👀 @ioda_customs

Turnersville Kia // Daredevil Mascot

Turnersville Kia said "go big or go home" …so I gave them a Daredevil 🔥 Built this mascot from the ground up because Turnersville is KIA KRAZY. Philly meets pop-art nostalgia.

🛠️ Now booking custom illustration clients.

Philly, it’s that time again 🦅

Football’s back and the Burdz are ready to fly! Wrapped this one in a little Delco pride with the "GAOOO BUUUUURDZ" shout that can be heard across the entire city come fall.

This one actually hasn't been dropped, should we make it available for sale??

Arrested Youth // Blind Men

An oldie that I dug up from the @arrestedyouth days of just chuffing around and playing with creative concepts. Probably one of the most creative times of my life and this little concept seems more relevant than ever.

Just blind robots leading blind robots leading blind robots leading..
