It all started with a failed paint date. This guy completely turned it down. I’m like whatever I’ll just do a sip and paint by myself. So that’s wtf I did. I did both of our canvases.

I get a dm from one of my cousins friends. He dms to be a part of an art show he was having. I’m like bruhhh I don’t even paint I just do this for fun

The day before the show I went to Walmart and grabbed like 16 canvases all sizes. I’m like I have to paint them all

All 16 pieces were made the night before. Keep in mind this was my first show. The other artist were boooomb I’m like I’ll never sell a painting compared to their work

I ended up selling the most paintings that day, 2 paintings the actual ceo of the cancer research hospital actually purchased I was so hype. Another one by her secretary. And one more I forgot lol

So now at this point I’m getting invited to showcase my work in New York at these weed conventions (super lit even though I don’t smoke) I met so many people I even met Puma from Black ink he was so nice lol
