THE MATRIX 161 PART
Working in collage, sculpture, performance, and video, Newsome combines elements of high society with street culture—mixing classical music with rap music videos and creating traditional coats of arms for hip-hop royalty featuring status symbols like bling, faux fur, designer fashion and customized sports cars. He's like Xhibit for the Art Set. He'll totally pimp your art.

Another great collabo with artist Rashaad Newsome. This piece I personally spent over 50 hours prepping & airbrushing with Candy, Pearl & Metal Flake coatings.

All frames are 17th century neoclassical - originals. The bling items are composite. I prepare them accordingly & then lay the candies

ah, I thought he made all from scratch, okay thanks, now I understand!

sick work as usual. I saw one of the frames in person the other night and I was floored.
