Drip and Design | LayMadeIt
A mix of chaos and luxury
This painting came from a moment when I wanted to mix worlds that do not belong together. Street and luxury. Pain and beauty. Real emotion with bold color. I wanted to take something familiar and make it feel strange again.
I called it Drip and Design because that is what it became. A clash of culture and feeling. The cartoon faces tell one story while the background whispers another. It is about appearance and truth, the way we dress up pain to make it look expensive.
When I painted this, I was thinking about expression and the power of contrast. The drip represents emotion that refuses to hide. The logos behind it remind me how often art and fashion meet in rebellion. It is not about brand or fame. It is about taking control of the image and making it mine.
I paint to free what I feel. I paint to remind myself that even chaos can be beautiful when it is honest.
Drip and Design is not about control. It is about release.

The Body in Color | LayMadeIt
I painted this piece as a reminder of how powerful the body is when it stands in truth. No faces. No distractions. Just energy and color. I wanted to show how light moves through us, how confidence can live in silence, and how the body can speak without saying a thing.

'20/20'
"Do It Again" the track that would ultimately open the Beach Boys final album on Capitol Records which was released on February 10th 1969 had originally been released as a single in August of 1968. The track was the first of many post-Pet Sounds era throwbacks to the early Beach Boys sound which would become continually more cliched and eventually lead the Beach Boys to the level of self-parody they would eventually succumb to in the 1980s while their closest contemporaries The Beatles nearing the end of their run in 1969 would go on to be viewed as the most influential band of all time. However, the song itself is not bad on its surface, and it opens with a futuristic sounding (for 1969) drumbeat captured by then-Beach Boys engineer Stephen Desper using tape delays on the drums performed by Dennis Wilson and John Guerin. The song has been re-recorded numerous times over the years on various Beach Boys-related projects most notably the 2011 re-recording at Capitol studios featuring the five surviving Beach Boys at the time backed instrumentally by various members of both the Brian Wilson Band and Mike Loves touring "Beach Boys" to promote the then upcoming Beach Boys 50th Anniversary reunion tour in 2012. The hammering and power drill sound at the end of the song was an excerpt from a track called "Workshop" that was to be a part of the uncompleted "SMiLE" album.
