What inspired the art on Universal Herbs?
The neighborhood. It’s like a melting pot of different people, people with a lot of character, people who just need some hope.
How has social media affected you as an artist?
This is prolly the best question yet. Honestly, I love getting a response from friends and fans seeing work I do on social media. I love being able to put my work out there in that way, however I hate how much we as a culture strive off of comparison. I’m friends who the amazing artists all over the world, I feel like the ones who really made it onto another level kind of died to comparison and just continued to make art from the heart. Social media can paint a picture that isn’t true as well. I think for a while I was under the notion that my art would be doing best when my social media blew up. My Facebook gets a lot of love but my insta still feels like it’s less strong than my art is. Then, I look around at artists like Shepa, I see that he continues to make some of the strongest visionary art without having a huge following. Once again proving, social media isn’t everything thing, it’s just extra, and can turn us basic real quick.
