I'm a black artist raised by a single mother always on the move. I refused to sell drugs or steal cars so I turned to American and Japanese comic books to fill the days of my youth. The European masters rounded out my style but I couldn't help but be impressed by a glaring omission, where are the black people at? I've been driven by that question ever since and it's embodied in every element of my work.
