A colorful digital painting of a group of people on a journey. Photoshop and Wacom tablet.

An abstract digital painting portrait of Michael Jackson in his Smooth Criminal era.

The images above are from my solo art exhibition + podcast listening party last month. The first of its kind experience anywhere in the world. It was amazing.

However, I'd like to address something:

A number of you got my previous art taken down under the assumption that it was made using AI. On one hand I feel insulted. On the other hand I take it as a compliment. But no, I don't use AI. I paint using a good old Wacom tablet on Photoshop. I paint every day. For 10 years I have practiced and honed my craft to be able to make it look and feel the way it does -- IN RECORD TIME. I don't document behind the scenes like most artists cos I don't want to or need to. I did that earlier in my career but now, not so much. It's unfortunate that y'all have such little faith. But I will not try to prove that my work isn't AI. If I'm not welcome in this sub, block me. If not, trust and appreciate my art without casting aspersions based on a hunch. Thank you.

I organized an art exhibition + podcast listening party where people listened to my podcast while engaging with my paintings. It was a dream come true!

Met Gala looks got me energized. Just me?

I loved her face so much, I just had to paint this digital portrait. This was painted on Photoshop. Itried to communicate something in her expression. Did you catch it?
