How It All Started

Curiosity.

​

I never wanted to create art just because it looked good on a wall. I wanted to create work that made you feel something, question something, or see something differently.

​

That became the foundation of WEIT PEINT.

​

My work lately blends tropes and visuals from pop culture, reimagined through the lens of the Black American experience. It serves as a mirror to society, exploring money, power, dreams, identity, and everyday life. I take familiar imagery and shift the context just enough to make you stop, look again, and question what you're actually seeing.

​

Some pieces are serious. Some are funny. Some are uncomfortable. Some may mean something completely different to you than they mean to me.

 

That's in some way the point.

​

But as a word of caution, anything labeled “WET PAINT” comes with a warning. You’re free to get as close as you want, touch it, question it, even challenge it.

 

Just don’t say you weren’t warned if it leaves a mark.

 

WEIT PEINT. Trigger Curiosity.
