“The Magician represents our creative ingenuity consciousness, a revolution in one’s mind. The more I learn about the mechanics of reality, I begin to observe these philosophical & metaphysical manifestations in my daily life. I subscribe to the thinking that reality is an agreement of various thought patterns. Ideas fall in & out of being real based on necessity & eventually disappear when they become obsolete. It is always the stranger who introduces novelty into our world, presenting something never before seen, yet so familiar that we accept it into our collective consciousness. Nikola Tesla was one of these remarkable figures, so too was/is Satoshi Nakamoto. These archetypes introduce balance in a world of nefarious ill-intended charlatans; the magic in our mind is how we make the non-tangible tangible.

My works have been recording a chronology of events for over three and a half decades, exposing the conspiracies of our lives & seeking alternatives while promoting an inner state of revolt against the authorities. I have gotten beaten up, shot at, jailed, fined, & more recently slandered/cancelled online for creating art that speaks out against the system. But I remain steadfast to my mission of art, fueled by my early graffiti adventures & evolving to a more refined form of story telling, a metaphysical surrealism narrative designed to awaken the viewer from their economic debt slave slumber & spiritual deprivation. I paint the archetype of the magician to inspire the rebel within & fill one’s soul with magic inspiration so they might challenge the status quo. When you awaken to the malicious reality of our monetary oppression the revelation is always same - the human spirit seeks its liberation & Bitcoin is our new LSD, our new Jesus Christ, our first real challenge to the authority’s omnipotent control.” ~PEACE, MEAR
