Breakdancing in Quarantine Times

"We Gotta Breakdance to Save The World"

14.5 x 19.5"

This is the last of 3 new pieces I made for a spring show at Homegrown Skateshop in Ithaca, NY that, sadly, is not going to happen for the foreseeable future. Some of the scenarios happening in this drawing actually happened while we skated the park in our younger days, and even happened as recently as last year. I'll let you decide what is fact and fiction. Hopefully we can pull a show together for the fall so people can actually see these bad boys up close. 

I originally was going to have the gas station at night be the setting of this piece but decided to save this for another piece.

Influencing in Quarantine Times

"Just Trying to Justify My Existence to a Bunch of Strangers"

14.5 x 19.5"

I started making this piece right before shit hit the fan back in March. It was originally intended to be about the complete lack of class influencers have when it comes to selling themselves and others out on social media. Now, seeing how our government has decided to throw small businesses overboard, I feel like this just sums up how the majority of us are feeling while money for small business is being offered up to companies who surely don't need 20 million. As much as I criticize social media, I kinda wonder, would these companies have given that money back if they hadn't been publicly outed for digging so deep into a relief fund for companies with fewer than 500 employees. Hmmm. Anyways, the influencers are still out there being tacky as hell through all of this.
