Art on the Mile- First Art Show in Stockton
It took 3 years but I finally had an art show in my hometown of Stockton, CA. It was a dope evening. The show was at Wharlows on Miracle Mile and it was in partnership with the Gospel Center Rescue Mission. There was live music, live painting, and coloring books.

Creativity from Behind Bars
date: Jan 9, 2012
The Hip Hop Coloring Book has been out for a month and the support has been great. I’m really happy to be sending a coloring book to Aaron, who is currently incarcerated at Pike County Correctional Facility.
I wonder what I would do if I was to ever get locked up. As a black male thats a thought I ponder often. I hope this book aids in his mental freedom and encourages him to pursue his creativity even while in the most discouraging of circumstances.
