The Streets Talk
When the Streets Talk I heard him say “that’s all you get, when all you know is the streets.” I thought long and hard about the response. Reason being, that’s all you get when you choose to not want better. When you make excuses for ill mannered behaviors, using code words from the urban dictionary, robbing, and embracing terminologies such as YN, and YB, it automatically ignites a fuel to fight for change. Not just within myself or the community, but also inside the threshold of the world, whatever that may look like at the time.

The Myth Reassembled Through Abstraction
Few titles carry the historical weight of Adam and Eve. For centuries the subject has been approached through figuration—two bodies, a tree, a serpent, a garden. The narrative is visually familiar long before the painting begins.

He Hit Me First. Content Warning.
I had a C-PTSD episode in the middle of the night. Writing it down is one of many things that helps me process sometimes, and it occurred to me that it may or may not be helpful for some to read. I’m hoping it might.

Amazing Artwork by Roy Lichtenstein
American artist, sculptor, and lithographer Roy Lichtenstein was an amazing pop art artist. He became widely recognized for his bold use of imagery taken from comic strips and commercial art. His artworks often feature the Ben-Day dot technique, imitating the printing methods used in comic books. This method, paired with flat, vibrant colors, created a distinctive and recognizable style.

The Static Hour #7
The night rain hammered against the rusted wire fence, the dripping sounds grating in the deep darkness. Puddles spread across the muddy path, reflecting distorted, fragmented light, as if time itself had disintegrated here, abandoned in the silent, rainy night.
