Playing with Temptation

A blend of old and new, no matter where my work takes me I always try to incorporate my graffiti roots into the pieces I create. Playing with temptations is an experiment of stripping back on a full realism piece to expose the origins of where my initial entry to the art world has grown. Finding a balance that let the two very seperate styles pay respect to each. Neither adding nor taking away from each other.
