Hey Reader, I've been obsessed with how cities feel from above. The energy, the colors, the rhythms within the grid. Now it all lives at Ef.city. See the connections between the pieces for the first time. The origins, the palettes, all together and clickable. Go get lost in it. EF.CITY PS: Post a screenshot of your favorite grid and tag me. Who knows, it might turn into something.

Hi Reader, What's the last place you would expect to see an art event? Probably the desert, in the middle of nowhere, Texas. In fact, this is where I just got back from. Cities Marfa Mural, paint on canvas (available) In the middle of West Texas lies an artist paradise. Marfa is a small town founded in 1883 that's sprinkled with contemporary art galleries / foundations, public sculptures and new movements taking shape. From high above, the area feels calm, almost desolate. Look closer and...
Hey Reader, One of the things that keeps me going down this wild creative path is knowing that there are other artists fighting the same inner battles as me.

It will be full of uplifting art to make you dream big, given this show's theme: AMBITION. Canal Street Show returns tonight, from 7:30 to midnight. For...

Hey Reader, Sharing a process breakdown today... This weekend is the closing days for the Cities at dot+grid gallery. Before the work comes down off the walls, I wanted to share how the collection came to be, and what it means to me. Before Cities was a collection or a gallery show, it was an idea in a mural ... just my hand and a paint marker. These pieces capture my journey of trying to break free and find my way through the grid as a neurodivergent / colorblind artist. Hand painted murals...
