Had to go back for a quick, two-hour session since I was in the neighborhood. Took a few extra shots cuz the space was so cool.

Jerome Gonzalez, Rest in Peace…
A good friend and fellow artist, Jerome Gonzalez, passed away earlier this year. He was a great artist, community activist, writer, and family who made a lasting impression on everyone he met. I was lucky enough to work with Jerome on many projects over the past few years and he was always a stand-up guy. I was especially moved by his mission to spread love, knowledge and understanding so I worked up this illustration in his memory. It’s heavily inspired by his own words. So…to my dear friend Jerome, also know as Rome, Romie and Cuzo…rest in peace, brother. You may be gone, but never forgotten. One.
And this is just the first of many tribute pieces to come. Your name will live on, bro…Cuzo forever.

Blockburners
Been a long time since I posted anything on here, but wanted to share this piece from last winter. I was planning just to do a big ol’ blockbuster but ended up getting a little more wild than expected. In any case, here it is. Gotta give a big shout out to my brotha, Brain Paste for hooking up the fresh characters as always!! Check it out…
Sketches and Slaps
I’ve been a little out of touch lately, so just wanted to get back and show some sketches and slaps I’ve done over the last few months. Check it out!
Arts on Division 2017
It’s been a busy summer for me, but glad I got a chance to squeeze in a quick session at the annual Arts on Division event in Somerville, NJ. Gotta give a big shout out to Jerome and the whole Arts on Division team. Had a great time gettin’ down with the homies BrainPaste, Mimik, Cuzo, Jenna Morello, Rain, Gent and others.
Surfs up in Manasquan!
Just completed this home mural for a client in Manasquan. This kid’s loft room has a 30-foot mural with the their names and a surf/beach theme. Pretty fun project and I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. As always, thanks to my Fresh Collective brothers for their assistance! Check it out!
New work…
Here is a little something I worked up at a friend’s garage. Just having some fun and enjoying a pretty warm day in the middle of winter…
And here are some progress shots…
Hello, my name is…
Was pretty excited to work on these new “Hello, My Name Is” custom wood panels created by none other than my main man, Chek aka @brainpaste! Got inspired by catching Bob Ross on Netflix the other day, so I came up with this happy, little burner. Haha!
Day of the Dead Skulls
These are a few skulls I painted recently for an auction to be sold at El Jimador’s Art Brawl event. All proceeds will benefit the Smile Design Gallery. I was pretty stoked to know one of them was picked up by none other than Crazy Legs of the legendary Rock Steady Crew! Word…
