Last Saturday in Manila, I had the opportunity to give my first public talk and perform a live drawing in front of an audience of 5000. Wow. It’s been a surreal journey from drawing in my room, to sharing it online, to getting to sketch live on such a stage. Thank you to everyone who attended for your warmth and for sharing this time with me. I loved meeting you all in person. I hope we can do it again. 🖤

My new print, “Ending Song,” will be available on unrealinc.com beginning Monday, March 18th at 6PM PST (3/19 10AM JST) for 24 hours only! The print is 19.5”x 26” and printed on 310 gsm archival paper. Each will be numbered and signed by me.
(Reupload because half the images were blank last time lol 🥲)
I wanted to share a bit about this. I began “Ending Song” in 2021 while living in a friend’s guest room and feeling the desire to create another large painting before Tokyo. At the time, l’d felt distant from my dreams and self in a way which terrified me. But, an old idea resurfaced, leading me to combine various images – industrial towers from the beach I drove to most nights, crows from my hometown, and Astrid who is always there. This painting was both a start and promise to myself. What I started in LA hung in my four temporary apartments in Tokyo and loomed in the peripheral, remaining unfinished after a long hiatus from work, finally finding itself in my current residence. In mid-2023, while slowly returning to work, I revisited the painting. It struck me that leaving it unfinished would condemn it to representing an unfulfilled dream, one that was still deep within and necessary. I taped it up one last time. While painting, I felt near to the “me” who wanted so badly to make this years ago, and felt how much I’d changed since starting. “Ending Song” is a years-long beginning, a small piece to a vision I will continue to chase, and a promise kept. I’m grateful for this time and this painting which has followed me so long.
I really, really love how this print turned out and cannot wait for you to see it. Please go to the link in my bio for all the info!
Thank you always,
🖤
