“I met Candi through a project that I’ve been working on about the Carmel Curves. The Curves are the first all female African-American motorcycle gang based out of New Orleans. The first time that I went over to Candi’s house she asked me if I wanted to take a photo of her doing a trick. We went outside and she got on her bike. I wasn’t exactly sure what she was going to do. All of a sudden she started grinding her wheel into the ground while simultaneously gyrating her bike. It was so loud that people were looking through their windows and coming out of their houses to watch. The street was enveloped in pink smoke as Candi burned a perfect circle into the gravel with her tire. To this day I still love this trick.” —Akasha Rabut

Back in 2007 I was commissioned to create a painting that was also to be a TATTOO. It’s painted to form perfectly with the contours of the buyers spinal column and back. Precise measurements were taken so that the designs work perfectly with his bone structure. The title became “SPINAL TOTEM.”

This is a section from my most current, (Unfinished as of 3/5/2018) painting. I like to create environments in my paintings that the viewer can get lost in. Each time you view my work, there’s a chance you’ll see something that you didn’t notice before.

Dead Boys Dream ~ 2016 - 14 x 14 in. (35.6 x 35.6 cm.) … Something a bit different from my average subject matter. For several years I have avoided depicting humans in my paintings. I like this one because I think including the child adds a touch of mystery.
