"FUR COAT IN AUGUST" TEE

The "FUR COAT IN AUGUST" tee features a painting from the "Imitates Art" collection, this was actually a painting from 2020 that I found in my studio earlier this year and I took some time to revisit the work with some of the new skills that I know. This shirt calls back to early shirts that I put out that were just images of my paintings on shirts. The painting shows a Black man standing in a field of flowers in front of a blue sky, wearing a white fur coat, the man in the painting is also wearing a Virgo necklace to celebrate the wonderful Virgos that I have had in my life.

“IMITATES LIFE” IS A COLLECTION OF ARTWORK, CLOTHING,
FURNITURE, & FIGURES inspired by the idea of connecting
my physical world with the world that I was creating.

My goal in making this collection was to learn new skills as an artist, that I could introduce as apart of my creatives process, and create pieces that provoked thought in their conception and meaning.

“De’ HOMIES” as a phrase has always been a metaphor for community. While working on this collection i wanted to expand on the lore of “de’ homies” as characters, and further connect them to the real world that they are apart of...

Real art matters to me. real artists and community matter to me.
