Gen-e-sis
Gen-e-sis // 20 in x 20 in // 4-Color Silkscreen Print on Woodstained Panel // Not much of a painter, I'm more of a multimedia artist. This piece was selected for the Museum of Fine Arts Houston, Citywide African American Artists Exhibition in 2017. It's a portrait of my son at the age of 3, yet ironically, it continues to grow with him. I named it "Gen-e-sis" which represents the beginning of fatherhood and our journey together.

Welcome to the Tour! The Hometown Hero Series is a tribute to the City of Houston and its cultural influencers, lead by Houston's self-proclaimed tour guide ambassador, James E! Walker, a multidisciplinary native from the city. It was only right for me to create a special badge suitable for a tour guide. The HTHS is in association with the Designer Rap Tour featuring James E! Walker and curated by Abstrametrics.
