Nobody gets out alive.

February 04, 2025

Remember when you wanted what you now have.

This is my first post on this platform. Please bear with me as I move forward with editing and getting acclimated to this groove - a little more personal than Instagram I suppose. My plan is to post and discuss sketches I have amassed throughout the years, (thanks to my son Kahlil for the scanning, he did a marvelous job).

Music will always play an integral part, not only in my art making but in every aspect of my life; I often find myself pulling from my bag of lyrics to either use as a point of reference or to just emphasize a point I’m trying to make. In the sketch above you will see I pulled from Jim Morrison’s Five to One more than likely I was deep into my head and just felt a bit claustrophobic but justified the feeling with “Because sometimes I just have to write my name”.

Be prepared for the repeat of my name in future posts, it’s practice, it’s honing in on a handstyle that will never be perfect, it is my enzo meditation. Understanding letterforms and construction and such will always be at the forefront of expansion.

Peace.
