Character 7 | Original handmade drawing for my solo art exhibition I Just Murdered The Alphabet

The one like five divided by four
JAY-Z

You do the math.
I don’t want to put any ego on the table.
I live my life to the max. Everyday I do what I love, no matter what happen.
You can struggle with your finances, your environment, but life is great. As long as you give up. Follow your dreams and you will live a life worth it. When you start to become what you want to be, you become more than a simple human.
You become a human with a soul.

Nigga I cant lose
YOUNG JEEZY

The whole jungle is behind me.
This art series tells the story of a group of kids who went to the jungle to built an imaginary society.
They build a community based on animal instincts and freedom.
Without any formal education, they create a philosophy based on hip-hop punchlines.

Knocked out so many teeth the tooth fairy went bankrupt
BIG L

I do it because art is my life.
Some people ask me how I can spend 6 months locked in a room, working on an art project.
What’s the point?
I could be richer if I wanted too. I have a big enough background in the industry to find a good job as an art director in an advertising agency.
I don’t want to, because what I will achieve is a successful career without a boss.
Then people ask me why I live in Bali.
As a matter of fact, my career would grow quickly if I moved to NYC. But I don’t want to be a trend in the art world, I want my career to grow step by step, because what goes up too fast will crash down.
People tell me it’s impossible, but I’ll prove them wrong.
I will take over the world step by step from a bedroom in a little village in Bali.
Time will tell.

You ain’t a leader, nobody followed you
BIG L

Come on, you know that you are not a leader.
You don’t believe me?
You don’t even lead yourself.
Choose your destiny.
Stop complaing.
Draw your future.

Hand made artwork inspired by the rapper Big L famous hip-hop punchline.
