Float Like Ali Painting

I am a visual artist raised in Houston, TX creating art has always been a part of my life. As a kid, I would even create my own comic books, but the art always took a backseat to sports. In the last five years, he has returned to a focused effort in cultivating his skills and craft in art. Much of my early inspiration came from Black 90's sitcoms like Martin and Fresh Prince of Belaire -- popular cinema like The Wood, Boomerang, and Love Jones. The nostalgic highlights of Black Culture and Hip-Hop influenced how he wanted to show up in the world, also expressed through his work. The art is both realism and abstract realism, depicting a culmination of experiences and stories through analogies and literal. I am now studying visual artists creating through various mediums, including fashion and design. His fashion and design lifestyle brand, Somebody, is dedicated to people who appreciate art mirrored in fashion, expression, and culture.
