"Aerosol Alchemist: From the Electric Chair to the Wu-Tang Stage". Let's bring it back, wayyyy back to the year 1993. Wu-Tang Clan burst onto the scene with their groundbreaking album Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), and I picked up an aerosol can and started painting at the age of 13 in a gangland of Bloods, Crips, *Essays, and *Tag Bangers, a city fueled by the military industrial complex, a surf-ghetto called Oceanside, California.A year later, in 1994, the RZA one of Wu-Tang's masterminds, became part of one of my all-time favorite groups, the Gravediggaz. Their track"1-800-SUICIDE" was mesmerizing, a masterpiece layered with meaning. Featuring a haunting vocal sample from KRS-One of Boogie Down Productions (BDP), originally on the Just-Ice track "Mosh*tup." When you really open up your ears, the song delved deep into themes of mental health, depression, and the societal conditions that foster despair. It was part of the 90s hip-hop era known as Horrorcore— raw, hardcore, and unapologetically gripping. I loved every minute of it. Inspired by this energy, I painted RZA from the Gravediggaz iconic album cover in the city of Vista on a wall where artists could legally paint known as the "dollar wall." That image spoke volumes to me and marked a pivotal moment in my life. This opened the door to my painting connection with the Wu-Tang...Eventually, l'd find myself on stage with Wu-Tang. It involves a home-made electric chair, a case of malt liquor, jackass doing a back flip, and more. Read the crazy story on my Medium titled"Aerosol Alchemist" HIT THE CHORBOOGIE LINK IN BIO.

ADDICTIONS … see if you can turn it off!!!
See we have to respect our addictions and show them respect because what happens when you disrespect someone or something… it will disrespect you back 99.9% of the time you can have a satisfaction guarantee stamp on that one.
So one would ask well how do you respect addictions. Well first you have to acknowledge you have one and realize the polarity of the addiction. Is it a negative addiction or a positive addiction? In what way does this addiction serve me? Is this addiction ruining my life? Is this addiction enhancing my life?
See we should understand, overstand, and innerstand who we really are and defining our addictions is just a piece of our inner puzzle. Why??? Because addiction is here for a reason and it is not going anywhere. So my suggestion is to feed the addictions that serve you the most preferably the positive ones. This is how you can receive respect from addiction and that voice of negative addictions will not be as loud as much and start to dissipate into the background as your positive addictions have now taken over and are in the foreground.

Title- UNIVERSAL CONNECTION
When I created this masterpiece over 15 years ago I was in a place of self discovery. I found my original self once I decided to trust myself with my creative abilities and my creative paths. This piece is the universal connection between man woman through the soul and the grand architect as the balance of one. I was playing with colors as you can see letting the piece form itself taking my creative abilities to new heights by playing with the light and the dark, as you can see the transition of transformations from the light colorful side you see the universal connection between man and woman with a hint of the spiritual center. As the piece transitions to the glow in the dark we see the spiritual center arise with the soul and the grand architect.

Once Upon A Time @cuttingedgesolutionslab here is a video created by @eauh20 for @hover_pictures
Twas an amazing time creating this mural amongst it being a piece about the elements and painting it in the elements was an even bigger challenge but always doable. The cinematography creating this video piece is just phenomenal and I give big thanks to Ethan for making this happen.
