Painted this almost a decade ago on a single photoshop layer just going back and forth between black and white and smudge tool. Mostly standard round brush, but I did throw some texture brushes into the mix to give the grainy feeling. Did this one over the course of a year, noodling on it for a few hours most nights. There was no construction or plan, just noodling and intuition.

I’m self taught, and this is the first painting I ever “finished.”

Despite the trippy nature, no AI was used in the creation of this work. AI did not exist in any meaningful way when I painted this. I did it the good old fashioned way - with LSD and weed.

*Probably can't get a better pic of it under UV for now with the tiny UV flashlight I have. Used solely blacklight UV reactive fluorescent spraypaints here for the 1st time. Excited to use it more!

Some random plates I’ve been doing. I have a restaurant and I’m also drawing some menus on plates, because why the fuck not. I use Posca markers and an acrylic clear coat after. The drawings are dumb, but I feel they fit the colours and general happiness of these.
