Can I create beautiful things that are honest when honesty is the most beautiful thing? Can I create beautiful things that are honest when honesty is the most beautiful thing? There's a lot of people who are really influenced by media society and there's especially within like post-colonial stress disorder communities. People are very used to falling into the system and

following the mass media and what you're supposed to do or what what they tell you to be because what you are isn't special, isn't important, isn't beautiful. I think like a lot of media is really abusive to our consciousness and I think that's what it is, as I am, I work with media, media being, comic books being, you know, even in graffiti art as media and how do you take control of the media and make it something positive that induces consciousness rather than

unconscious because people like when I watch TV I feel so detached from the earth, from the way I feel, from the things around me and it makes me feel sick and sad. I was homeschooled and we grew all around food, we didn't have electricity for many years. I wanted to remain mainstream, we didn't have a television, I didn't get most of the jokes, but I did find my own perspective of seeing something and I feel like what my parents gave me, those perspectives are a gift. Still the way my day,

beta metal trash can, beta blue, some pretty white design styles, pretty as you know. I'll be walking on the supermarket aisle and I'll see the cover of the magazine and I'll literally start hyperventilating because I have such a hardcore reaction to like pornography or that kind of sexual energy that's misplaced all over the world, you know. Right now in our media society it's so prevalent that just desensitize everybody, desensitize and unconscious everybody. That's why I get frustrated with a lot of art that has a lot of shock about you because is that what you want to put out there? You know, it's just like the media, is that what you want to do? You know, and I think like you can be eccentric and be yourself and be full of

of life, but the only shock value that I feel like I want to do is challenge our stereotypes and challenge those objectifications. It was funny because I used to model sometimes when I was younger and I got so angry that I felt like a close-hanger that it was not about who I was but what I looked like and that was just perpetuating, perpetuating everything that I completely disagree because it's it's not about the soul and so I pierced my nose, I pierced my nose and put a spike through it. I figure as an artist I can use my art to promote something that I believe in. I just got t-shirts that I hope people would actually wear because I feel a whole point in.
