Pulling back. Pushing forward.

I hate to cancel things, especially collections that I have a vision for. Because I have a rather large workload already, and life events happening — it's only fair to cancel out things that have no relative creative impact.

Canceled Projects

I have decided to shelve two collections so that I can keep focus on the one that has made a lot of progress over the past year. DVNT and WCKD will be out to pasture indefinitely unless I find a direction to go further with them

For now, I will be putting the pieces for DVNT and WCKD on a deep discount to clear them out of my stock.

Still On-going

XOXO is still going strong with more pieces being planned for XOXO:URBN and XOXO:ILVU. If you are not aware, these lines are the more time intensive and complex compositions that would find in galleries.

Incoming

The TELE Collection

If you follow on Instagram, you may have seen a story on a new series in development I cave designated TELE:CHNL 0. This new line of paintings revisit oils at a larger scale That will be based on some of the more popular selections of Series A2.

This new series is a metaphorical and abstract representation of my bouts of anxiety and depression. Not everything is bunnies and flowers. Sometimes it can be rough roads and cliff sides. CHNL 0 marks the true beginning of the TELE Collection and signals the start of how I plan out these paintings. Each painting is dubbed an “episode” and the final painting in the line is the “finale”. The TELE Collection will include other “channels” as well.

CHNL 0 will differ in size and number. A total of 13 new pieces will feature highly textured oil on a gallery wrapped canvas ranging from sizes 36”x36” to 60”x72”. The final nail will be driven in with a 90”x120” rolled canvas to be displayed as a tapestry.

The XOXO Collection

The XOXO Collection will have some new additions coming for XOXO:PRSD with some updates on the XOXO:LPXO limited line of guitars.

XOXO:PRSD will see Series 2 and Series 3 options sometime later this year with some new ideas. XOXO:PRSD is a way to create original paintings as a made to order line so that it allows a more budget friendly option. These new additional lines will feature some slight changes to the compositions to maintain uniqueness in something that is custom taylored to the collector.

The planned guitar line, XOXO:LPXO is still undergoing some planning. It's not easy designing and building guitars in a way that would be kind to the wallet. So on that note, there will be 6 Artist Editions, and a line of made to order standard guitars with some options to choose from. Plans have been slow and will pick back up with some new updates after the first of the year. The guitar line will be the last of the XOXO Collection before moving on to future plans.

Upcoming

Because of the cancellations of DVNT and WCKD, I'm planning to replace them with a new collection that is similar to XOXO. There is no official announcement yet, but it will be coming after the first of the year with some new work releases that will be completely different in comparison to what I have been doing recently, but still fixed on the same medium.

An announcement will be made around the holidays with a more detailed preview of the new collection. This new collection will be a different experience all around.

On that note, keep looking for updates by following me on Instagram for promos, new art drops, and announcments.
