So what’s your deal, dude?
I’m a jack of all trades and a master of none. I am an alien, An experience, A god of my own damn mind. I’m also cute as fuck. *shrugs*
And your photos?
Artistic self portraits from my iPhone, mostly. I suck at capturing other people. Most of my photos have some sort of sexual connotation. I’m mostly inspired by lust, to be honest. Ya boy is a sexual deviant.
How has the pandemic affected your art?
I don’t know if it was my fiancé and I splitting, having to march in the streets for my right to live as black man, or trying to not catch a deadly virus but, I was definitely losing grasp on my mental health, I didn’t feel sexy or creative at all. Currently in the process of getting back to that. Fuckin’ pandy..ugh.
Soo… You’re very naked in a lot of your photos.
I never know what to wear! Well…that and I’m a bit of an exhibitionist. I hate that there’s such a stigma with being nude but, that same stigma makes it hot to be naked in places that you “shouldn’t” be naked in. I just want a fresh breeze on my balls. Sue me, daddy.
If I wanted to stay involved with the church, I was required me to meet once a week with the assistant to the head pastor for “accountability checkups” aka conversion therapy.
What’s new in your life?
I just recently discovered I have a learning disability which is wild AF. I thought I was just depressed! Look at God!
God? Are you religious?
Used to be! It’s all bullshit now. Started going to church as a teen to get away from my toxic-ass parents and ended up getting heavily involved. Eventually ended up in a leadership position. Long story short, my pastor found out I was gay and I was asked to step down from my position. If I wanted to stay involved with the church, I was required me to meet once a week with the assistant to the head pastor for “accountability checkups” aka conversion therapy. Hmmmm… ’twas a “hell to the fuck no” for me, dawg. Left my church and never went back. The ordeal made me reconsider how I feel about religion from then on.
Any photogs that you look up to?
Teron Beal, I consider this man my mentor and I don’t think he knows it. Man is a “caps lock on” ARTIST. Dude has done and is still doing amazing work. A whole fount of wisdom, that man. I very seldom consider people as father figures in my life, but I definitely consider him as such. He’s not only inspiring as an artist but, as a black man in Hollywood. If Lead by example were a person, sure as shit that person would be Teron Beal. Periodt.
OK tite. A few more…

Do you identify as gay?
