I’ve been selected to compete for The People’s Artist — a national competition presented by Johnny Depp benefiting The Art of Elysium. The winner takes home $25,000, a feature in Artforum Magazine, and a showcase in Los Angeles.
Here’s where you come in: the people decide who wins. Literally. Your vote — which is free — is what moves me forward.
This is the kind of door that, when it opens, shifts the whole trajectory. It would fund the next series. It would let me invest deeper into EBC Loft. It would put the work I make — portraits, fashion illustration, the stories of Black and q***r life I render with tenderness — in front of the rooms I’ve been working toward for years.
I do this because I believe Black stories deserve to be told with beauty, depth, and care. With your vote, you’re saying yes to that vision with me.

If a piece of mine has ever stopped you, made you screenshot, made you say that’s me — this is the moment to show up.
