I did this rough sketch of Selena last night at 1am (prep for a much bigger piece) not even realizing that today is her birthday. Weird. She was one of the first people I can remember looking up to as a kid. Well, her and Harriet Tubman. An inspiration to me and the beautiful Mexican women that raised me. 🇲🇽

Im’a get back on my feet.
Give me a minute.

I’ve always been able to find beauty in being an empath. Absorbing other human emotions and somehow finding a way to turn it into art. But it’s a lot harder when the whole world is mourning. That voice I hear in my quiet moments. Telling me to work harder, do more, dream bigger, spark change, BE PRESENT - it got louder. The constant weight on my chest. The urgency to make a difference. To be a force. To give back. To INSPIRE- it got heavier. Let’s let his legacy fuel us to Hussle harder, be involved in our communities, motivate each other, stay educated. Nipsey’s presence is forever. No longer on this earth but his energy is in all of us.

The sun is out for you.+

I don’t take a lot of commissions. I’ve been working on the same two for the last few months. Both honoring people that are no longer on this Earth. Commissions are so hard. I only take the ones I really connect to. And then I drown myself in them until they feel perfect. It consumes me. And I don’t feel fully present in the rest of my life until I am done. I finished both of them today. I feel so good. I told Mars we can do anything she wants to do today. She wants to eat salmon and workout in a gym with little weights. Happy Tuesday. Be present. Be free.🌞

So apparently, if you have your notifications on it doesn’t tell you when I post on my story and only on my actually timeline and because of this a lot of you missed the restock of this tee. I’m sorry 😩 stop yelling at me 😘 I’m old. I don’t know any better. GOOD NEWS. I decided to restock them again. Last time. For real this time. When they are gone, they are gone forever. I’m wearing a Large here. But I also wear a small and a medium and an XL depending on my mood so there’s that. Link in bio. 🌻
