A “few” years ago, I started working on an online art project, which is now (finally!) published. In a way, I’ve been gathering material ever since I began painting graffiti, but the more recent material has been in the works since 2017 (when I received my first art grant). During the 2020 lockdown I begun collecting all the material I had done so far. Things really started to gain momentum around 2022–2023, and in 2024 I finally began building the actual platform for it. In other words, a website.
During the process, the focus shifted slightly, but the core idea has remained the same: to present both my love for graffiti—especially sketching—and my appreciation for the various bands and genres I’ve been devouring since I was nine years old. I felt the need for a new site and domain simply because the theme differs somewhat from what I’ve presented here in my portfolio. The project itself isn’t commercial, so yes—it’s meant to be enjoyed free of charge.
