"REBORN" is Now Live! ๐ŸŒฟ (+ a gift for you)

Hey Reader, My newest artwork is now LIVE! Born in the jungle, now reimagined as a dynamic animation and a museum-quality print. ๐ŸŒฟ Collect "Reborn" ๐ŸŒฟ "Reborn" started as a mural at Zamna Music Festival, painted in December 2024 in collaboration with the non-profit, Maya Spirits.

"30 Years Through the Cities" hanging in the studio after completion It started with an email, then a phone call. I wanted to learn the story of this couple and what each place meant to them. Our conversations revealed the memories...

Hey Reader, Over the past few years, the pull toward real-life events, connections and building local community has only grown stronger. Here in 2024, it feels more important than ever.

On that note, weโ€™re excited to announce a new workshop coming up at Efdot Studio: Meditation & Intuitive Line Drawing. Experience a...

Hey Reader, Hope you're enjoying your summer! Today I wanted to share with you about my last art residency, and some exciting events coming up. ๐ŸŒด Mural workshop led by Efdot on Sao Conrado Beach In June I had the opportunity to revisit one of my favorite places, Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. I was there to create alongside a group of other artists in a massive 19th century house overlooking the city. This week pushed me as an artist and human, way beyond expectations. There was something unique to...

Hey Reader, I've been thinking a lot about what it means to be an artist in 2024. We are clearly in the age of digital art, media and AI and it's often unclear what separates artist from artisan, and creator from automator... I certainly don't have all the answers, but here are some thoughts I felt compelled to share with you tonight. Being an artist in 2024 isn't just about making something beautiful or making the viewer feel something; it's also very much about cutting through the noise,...

Hey Reader, We're living through a transformative time in culture, technology and art history.

Hey Reader, It's your favorite artist / blob from the big city. I'm excited to share with you the details on a new collection that has been several years in the making! I present to you: Being a muralist means creating your most impactful art and giving it to the public. It's a mindset that says: art lives outside the gallery, can be painted on any surface, and become integrated into the ever-changing landscape of the city. But, I noticed my mural practice had three big problems: It can't be...
