Just trust the process, just trust the process, just trust the process, just trust the process and THROW IT ALL AWAY!!! But in all seriousness, I genuinely believe that making mistakes in art is how you grow. Never be afraid to make mistakes, its how you learn to not make them… how to not get angry about it? I’ll let you know when I figure that out… #fyp #foryou #foryoupage #art #artist #artwork #box #boxhead #artistproblems #silly #funny #relatable

“Struck Gold” Acrylic and Graphite on Cardboard, 2024 Here it is! One of my new fave pieces that I’ve been working on and off for the past few months! I’ve been wanting to make something like this for a while, and I found my chance to do here! I found this old frame with and old piece of cardboard still in it, and so I decided to take it and make a personal piece for myself. A piece where I can tap back into my love of drawing and mix that in with my outside the box thinking. The traditional mixed with the new. I know I’m not perfect with the craft of pencils and shading, but I still love how this turned out, especially adding the gold paint at the end. Some may see it as corny, but I find it relatable and magical in its own way. Especially how it bleeds onto the frame as well. I just love this piece, no other way to say it. Btw I painted this using the @Culture Hustle Goldest Gold paint, and it really shines! You can use paints like this and more over at culturehustle.com!

No matter how many times you say it (and it’s still true), people who are just getting into art will see you as the BIGGEST enemy if you tell them to practice. Yes I know there’s other aspects to learning how to make art, but if you want to learn how to do anything, YOU HAVE TO WORK FOR IT AND PRACTICE IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN. That’s just how it is quite frankly.

“Still Thinking…” Watercolor on Cardboard, 2023 Long time no see! Sorry that I’ve been absent. Life has been crazy and i haven’t been conpletely motivated to upload here. Gonna try to change that this summer so stay tuned for more stuff! Ive been getting art in a lot of different galleries the past year, and this guy will be in a gallery for the first time! So excited! What do you guys think? Let me know! #fyp #foryou #foryoupage #art #artist #artwork #box #boxhead #boxart #cardboard #cardboardbox #cardboardartwork #paint #painting

“The Colors That Make Us” Acrylic on Cardboard, 2024 Here it is! The cardboard box that took me the longest to make. I think like 2-3 weeks to make. Not only did I have to weave a box head together (something I won’t attempt again for a minute lol) but I also had to make sure EVERY SQUARE on the box head was a different color. Every. Single. Square. Is a different color. Even if there are similar colors, they are mixed up just enough to be uniquely different. How many colors does that make? 268 different colors… That’s not even counting the tie, shirt, and pocket square (those three I actually kind of cheated with and repeated some of the same colors that I used on the head, but still mixed up a bit…) I’m exhausted XD It came out really well though. I love the head, the shirt, and the tie (which can even flip to make it black and white! Special thanks to my friend Liz for helping me out with that feature!) Will post the detailed images to my socials soon, but you can see it now over on Patreon for as low as $1 a month! Again, thank you for your support, and remember… STAY BOXY! #fyp #foryou #foryoupage #art #artist #artwork #box #boxhead #boxart #cardboard #cardboardbox #cardboardboxhead #cardboardartwork #paint #painting #acrylic #acrylicpainting #color #colors

“See Me (After Philip Mason)” Mixed Media on Cardboard, 2022 (repost) I made this a couple of years back for black history month. I saw this beautiful photograph taken back in the 1960’s by photographer Philip Mason of a woman with an amazing square Afro. I just knew I had to make an art piece off of that. I always want my art to be as relatable as I can make it, but obviously there are some experiences that I don’t share with some of my colleagues. I still want to show my support for everyone in the most respectful ways that I can and show off the beauty that I see in everyone. Hope you all have an amazing Saturday, and keep being amazing human beings to each other as well as yourselves :) #fyp #foryou #foryoupage #art #artist #artwork #artstuff #blacklivesmatter #blackhistory #blackhistorymonth #cardboard #cardboardart #cardboardartist #cardboardartwork #box #boxart #paint #painting #draw #drawing #mixedmedia

I was bored dropping off art at my storage unit, I decided to throw together a fun video of all the existing art I’ve made through the years, from oldest to newest! This isn’t even all the stuff I made! Maybe I’ll show other art later down the line… Which one was your favorite? Which would you like to see a separate video for?

“Where the Ideas Lie” Acrylic on Cardboard, 2024 Repost time! Since I got this guy into a gallery again (@remainrealfineart to be exact) I figured I’d show off some more details about this lil guy. For starters, this was based on an old Greek metal bust that I found surfing online. And you know me, I love turning old sculptures into pop art paintings. Not exactly sure why… I think I just love honoring the old masters and bringing attention to the old art that allowed us to create whatever we wanted now days! Bringing old art into the future is always fun to me. Also I wanted to show off a cool detail that I haven’t shared before, and that’s the fact that the shadow that this piece casts is a pink shadow! If you look in the stills, at the angle you can see that it basically casts a pink shadow behind it. I achieved this by having a white background and I had the head raised off the white cardboard. I also made sure I painted the back of the head pink (@culturehustle Pinkest pink to be exact!) and it gives it a nice pink glow/shadow behind it! I loved the idea of not containing one’s ideas and allowing them to be free from your mind, and the pink in the eyes and pink resonating behind the head is something that I think really ties this idea together. What do you guys think of this one? Let me know in the comments below! (PS. Hi yes I know I begin to post these on every video but if you guys want to try out stuff like the Pinkest Pink paint from Culture Hustle, you can get a discount on the materials from me personally.

Honest to god… i couldnt resist finally giving in to the stupid CapCut meme with this video. I apologize. #box #boxhead #silly #funny #fyp #foryoupageofficiall #Meme #MemeCut

“Human Art” Acrylic on Cardboard, 2024 Man there’s a LOT to talk about with this piece for sure, so I apologize for the wall of text... For starters, it’s easy to tell that I’m NOT a big fan of AI generative art in the slightest. I’ve seen cases made for AI in the art world, but generative AI art is such a slap to the face of the art community in my eyes. So that leads us to this piece. When surfing around Twitter one day, I noticed a lot of buzz going around on DeviantArt’s Twitter page. They listed one particular art piece of the day that was really causing a stir amongst artists on the app. Apparently the artist they picked (whose name I’m not gonna list as this isn’t a hate campaign towards them) used generative AI art from DeviantArt’s own AI generation machine “Dream Up” with imagery depicting a man who is in distress using a machine that generates art with the simple press of a button. I think the image was meant to talk the idea of the faults of using generative AI to make art… all while using generative AI from an art website to create it… The irony was too rich for me to ignore. So whhat did I do about it? I stole the art. Kind of. I basically took the base image and idea, and remade it in my own artwork. Now yes I’ve done this with old art pieces in the past, but I will never claim the original as my own and it’s based on artists work who are long gone. However, this was made using machines, so I’m ok with saying that I’m copying by example and taking the idea and making it into a traditional art piece that was created by human hands. Now the big question on my end… is what I’m doing wrong? Taking an idea from someone who most likely typed some words into a machine to create this image? An image that steals assets from other images found online? Am I any better than the AI? Guess that’s up to the viewer.

Is a failing painting really wirtn saving at this point?
