"2021 Wrap up"

With every year that passes there are good times and bad. I try to focus on the good and learn from the bad... here's some of the good.

Started off with @elizabethbergeland painting a portrait of me, doing a couple of podcasts with @citykittystreet & @forresthinesart, collaborating with the legend @chrisrwk,  curated a show at @ucartsleague "We Belong" with some of my favorite Philly artists @marisa.vr @caloblacksand and @lazybeamarte, having my biggest show to date with the support of the beautiful souls at @paradigmgs, Cristina @barbacoachef making me cry happy tears, all the journalists who took the time to talk about "Immigrant Mentality", all the people who showed love and supported this brown boy in every way, all the great times with friends/family and the icing on the cake being on the cover of @streetsdept 1st magazine ft @acrawfordart & @_mcbailey.  Huge thanks to @conradbenner for showing love the last 10 years and @ericinphilly for chatting at my studio/house.

Truly blessed, grateful & honored for everything.  Can't wait for 2022 and thank you all!

"Peluca"

Growing up my barber was from the Dominican Republic. Going to the barbershop was like visting family, with plenty of Spanish slang being thrown around. In 2016 I was invited out to the Dominican Republic for @artesanoproject where I was humbled by the hospitality of people who had nothing to spare. In San Pedro de Macoris I stopped in a barbershop which was just one guy working in a tiny box of a shop. Being in there, bullshitting with them was like I was back home. Home is immigrant mentality. Home is being with those raised with the same mindset as you.
