Adaptations

Inspired to evolve, grow, teach and reach out to bring forth a new version of me daily.

Like the old saying goes" Back to the drawing board." Its time again to shed to shake off the dry leaves on this tree. Life is moving so quickly. Choosing to see what truly matters daily. Is Family
- connection and direction. With guidance- we forward upon the path. Giving thanks for the little and the lots.

less is more this time.

hella busy

North west cultivation hasnt stopped since I moved out here. It seems like this is the place to get shit done! I been hella busy drawing, tattooing and designing logos templates and have been painting. Documenting,documenting. Every moment is precious, gotta make each hour count.
Looking back at a good art arsenal. Im filling pages and covering skin. Im droppin meanings and
kickin knowledge and spreading culture the news of the indigenous.

Lately I been working diligently day and night to get AIL on its course... slow and sure is my speed.
I wish I had 8 arms and two of me to get this cracken already. But yo patience and perserverance will be my asset. Remembering each day to do my very best and investing heart n hours on this
baby! Ail

Art is Love .... and thats the only reason I push myself to keep on pressin...Bottom line I love what I do! Thats priceless

I know success has already been reached. When I live in fullness of inspiration. A true gift granted. The gift of creativity.

TAO

---

"Pattern and creativity

are the two poles of action"

"It is wise to plan each day. By setting goals for oneself and organizing activities to be accomplished, one can make sure that each day will be full and never wasted.

Followers of Tao use patterns when planning. We observe the ways of nature, perceive invisible lines of destiny. We imagine a pattern for our entire lives, and in this way, we ensure overall success. Each day, we must interim patterns against our master goals, and so navigate life with sureness and grace. It is precisely this ability to discern and manipulate patterns unknown to the ordinary person that make us the followers of Tao so formidable.

When unpredictable things happen, we are so skilled at improvisation. If circumstances deny us, we change immediately. To avoid confusion, we still discern the patterns of the situation and create new ones, much like a chess player at the board. The spontaneous creation of new patterns is our ultimate art."

New dae

Shifting my mind into new realities. open to create change by making sacrifices. Growing through uncomfortable situations to dreaming up a life awakening into a dream worth living. trusting that the universe always knows the best place for me is to be is right here n now. Ready for a new me- all is a preparation for a new dae!

Project manager

I have come to terms, that there is not enough hours in my day and I dont have enough arms to do what I need to be done in this lifetime. I have surrendered to the thought of doing it all myself.
I have gotten my art and my music, film up to this far. Im happy to say I need someone to take care of the other hundred things on my to do list.

Currently looking for a project manager to manage my art promotions and marketing
regarding Soul Signature-ail clothing line art distribution. I need someone who can teach me somethings.
Looking for someone on the level that can help me elevate my art game.
So I can spend more time doing art!

If your highly qualified to make moves with me? And is game to make beautiful things happen.

forward movement

shades of grey

something I did a while back

inner dialougue

As of late my head has been filled with great ideas, concepts and
lessons
All pertaining to this life called art.

Daily notations, innovations
and self cultivation
what really matters most is the meditation of the day

what I really care about is having more time to create.
Meaning desiring less of anything else,
to simplify my life to only this
something worthy of attention and detail

most of all,
to build from my own original sight from high self

I choose to be an individual
I choose to stay true to myself
and I hope this never changes

My head is bursting with revelations,
but Ive learned to keep em saved nicely
in between my head
and when the time comes to let em out

its a marvelous moment in my life
a new art is born
another skin shed
perhaps a new me

then off again to a new thought to a new idea
it never seems to stop

Im filled n overflowing with images
Im blessed and thankful to create

to capture something pure
a true and honest reflection of one self
manifest

maybe yall can see that
when we finally meet

Im giving to you something sacred
and something personal that has
a lot of meaning to me

i hope this can be some insight to you....

Once again im taking another step forward
but from within its actually another leap
to give my all
to you..

I hope you can carry that tattoo
like a burning flame
an inner light
that I have
gifted you with

I hope It will protect you as
it has protected me
I hope you can see beyond your own vanity
and truly dig deeper within yourself to really
finally see who you are
beyond your own flesh

see I what I really meant to give you
a prayer
a vision
a lesson
a plan
a light
a sight
a knowing
a devotion
a practice

Remember to be humble
and be only proud through your wisdom and
your patience

From my soul with my
Signature

I bless you because you sought something real
and felt something original
through these images
you found me

I hope this can guide you...

my contribution to my community
and the world which is diverse in form

with utmost
Respect
and
Love

be like water

as new water flows through
it refreshes the old
giving new life to our now
