Sun Ra: Boundless Universe - This was first photo tee I printed. I still remember the feeling I had when I pulled the second screen off of the shirt. The rush that I felt and the smile I had is what I want every time I press a new design. It was a pi

Sun Ra and The Solar Arkestra - Very few of these were pressed. I was printing "Celestial Love" on various pages from Oui, Playboy and Penthouse magazines that I've thrifted. This was one of my favorite images from those magazines.

Enter The Wu Tang (36 Chambers) - The Golden Age era of hip hop has had a massive impact on my life, beyond art. What I truly admire about the Wu Tang Clan is the desire to be different from the rest. Honest and unapologetic self expression.

Operation Doomsday - The Metal Fist terrorist! I equate the origin story of Doom to my own. For those who don’t know, he was part of a group called KMD, as an mc named Zev Love X. The group included his brother, Subroc, and another MC, Onyx. After Su

Disciples of Eternal Black Darkness - There are plenty of meanings behind this shirt but overall it was just what I was feeling at the time. The Disciples of Eternal Black Darkness section later developed into an allover print for pants. I love when

GAT (Feat. Ellie)
This is my dog, Ellie. My mom rescued Ellie from the Korean meat market while I was in college. During my visits back home Ellie and I became pals. She's a character that enjoys solitude much like myself. After instigating a few qua

Patrice O'neal - Patrice is one of my favorite comedians and modern thinkers. I have spent countless hours listening to his appearances on Opie & Anthony. After hearing many of his conversations have come to strengthen my value the importance of cont

Mach Hommy side A -

Dump Gawd. Mach is one of my favorite MCs. His unique sound reinvigorated my love for hip hop. His unique style, flow, and production are like none other. He's a true artist in every sense of the word.

Mach Hommy side B -
Featured is the opening line to the song "Allen Iverson", produced by Earl Sweatshirt.

Letterbender side A (Sadhugold & Vel The Wonder) -
Sadhugold posted a clip of this song on his instagram and I said, Jesus H who is this??? A few weeks later during a road trip to Washington, I found a link to the song. That whole trip I replayed th

Letterbender side B -
After making the Letterbender shirt, I have made acquaintances with both Sadhu and Vel. After meeting Vel, she has worn many of my pants on stage, photoshoots and videos - truly an honor! More designs with these amazing artists

Hour of Ghosts (Shadows of Tomorrow) -
My roommate had a statue with the face of this shirt for many years. During a visit to LA, my mom saw the statue and said "Why do you have that? It looks evil." When remarks like that are made, I always respond

Stargazer -
A neighboring vendor at the Rosebowl sold me an oil painting of the woman in the photo, "Stargazer" was the name of music project I released in 2019. Here's a link to the a song on the project, "The Fuji Legend".

Nas side A - Another one of my favorite MC's, Nas. Sometimes I feel like it may be crunchy to make "rap tees" of artists that are already featured on shirts in the 90s. But fuck that! I make art that I truly care about with artists that have made a g

Nas side B - I was initially going to use the line "I kick the skill like Shaquille holds a pill, vocabulary spills, i'm ill!" for the back of this shirt. But I wanted to feature the Tec 9 he often rapped about instead. A real head turner if you ask

Sig's Temple -
"The many masks he wore could never hide him from the power that turned myth to memory. Escape can only be found through the seven breath technique. Forgotten too often."
An excerpt I wrote about dreams and meditation. "In the words o

Celestial Love - Playing with the flower print was very therapeutic for me - it still is! At the time I was recovering from my accident and printing was the only thing I could occupy my time with. My older prints were feeling dull and played out. I w

Hour Of Ghosts -
Although very time consuming (and not the best sellers), I love making these. It's always a fun challenge trying to find the best place to print a bolder color on top of the base layer. My selling partner, Griffin (@socal_cameras),

Velvet Eye - A cousin of the Celestial Love print. My friend Joel (@successfulmistake) put me on to a screen printing documentary made by PBS. There was a section that featured some of Andy Worhol's work, one print in particular that caught my eye wa

Shadows of Death - Another design inspired by the accident. I don't have a photo of the initial design just yet, but it shows various images that I pieced together from a book that I found on the sidewalk. The book contained photos and information of
