Hello! I have been absent from posting here because I shifted things over to @paintforhire ~ give me a follow over there and tell your friends!

Here’s a freestyle marker sketch that I outlined in a fine liner; it says “Paint For Hire” in a couple graffiti styles. Super fun to get into the details on this. Drawing is simultaneously my zen place and the source of so much anxiety lol. It’s so dope tho. Appreciate you all!

Honoring the roots of graffiti in Allentown, Pittsburgh with a mural that pays homage to the classic work of Vaughn Bodé. I noticed plenty of great murals in the neighborhood but not much traditional style writing, so I wanted to bring that energy to the block… characters, bits, doo dads, and all. Hopefully this inspires younger artists and residents to dig into the deep history of graffiti culture and where spray paint as a medium really found its path. I have always been a nerd for the history of the culture, and constantly learning new things about it even after all of these years.

Big thanks to @briangonnellaisboring for curating a solid lineup of artists and helping to make the “Art Around A-Town” event happen, and to @re360_ for providing the space and support for public art in the community. It was great connecting with neighbors and fellow artists all day. Much love for the opportunity.

‼️ Our 2026 residency is coming up ‼️

📆 September 17-28 @tomasives @ishrock and @gloeone will be landing in Pittsburgh to share their muraling practices with the city.

🌎 This year’s residency coincides with our 10th anniversary and the United States of America’s 250th anniversary. We’re inviting the residents and participants in community projects to consider how South America, Latin America, and the Caribbean are part of a larger “America” that often gets erased in shorthand.

🎨 Come meet the artists at events @assemblepgh @thewarholmuseum @downtownpitt and an art show at Slanted and Enchanted on Friday September 18

We hope to see you there and can’t wait for the artists to join us.

HCUAP would like to thank the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts for major funding, the Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences Dean’s office.

A few days late, but I wanted to give a shout to everyone who was able to stop through PANELS for either the opening or closing!! Can’t thank you all enough for the love and support. We put in a crazy amount of effort for this exhibit and I’m happy so many folks were able to check it out. Looking forward to doing more stuff like this in the future!

Couldn’t have made it happen without @djbigphill and @filip.agren - awesome team to work with! I’d do it all again in a heartbeat. Appreciate you all!!

This pays homage to a several of my favorite comic characters, hiphop and graffiti callbacks, a couple key issues, and a few Easter eggs. Looking forward to folks getting to check out all the work we put in for this show tonight. I’d do it all again in a heartbeat, without a doubt. Appreciate the team @collectionsinblack @djbigphill @filip.agren @gallery_afk - couldn’t have done it without a solid squad. Appreciate you all!

This particular piece of original art that I own always creates a lot of conversation, and rightfully so. I respect that she recognized it’s a museum-quality piece, especially since it made its public debut at the @augustwilsonculturalcenter two years ago (seems like yesterday) and was also featured at @nineeighteennine in Charlotte and OAX in Florida. Everyone doesn’t have that “eye” when it comes to art and it’s always a plus to talk to someone who does. She and I had a real good conversation about why certain pieces of art are important and our responsibility when it comes to being the owners of such pieces. Of course, I had to have it in PANELS, and it did what it was supposed to do there as well. In case you’re wondering what’s so important about this page, take the time to Google the significance of the Joe Louis story in True Comics #5 (1941). #joelouis #panels #collectionsinblack #originalcomicart by @outafterdark

I appreciate my fam Supreme making his way to experience “PANELS”. We got a lot of positive feedback from multiple people, but his “Smell the lacquer” comment is one of my favorites - And might end up on a t-shirt 🫣🤷🏾‍♂️😂 just saying.

NOTE - the water color pieces he referenced are the original pages to @jaredcullum Usagi Yojimbo: Kaitō ‘84. The Luke Cage piece was created by @artofbrunson #collectionsinblack #lukecage #pittsburgh #graff #originalcomicart by @outafterdark
