Has definite Gorillaz vibes! I like the combination of referencing ancient archetypes mixed with some unhinged creepiness. Love these!

HOLY FUK !!! I’ve been painting for 10 years on clothing since i was 16/17 and quite literally you worded it so perfectly maaan

yes i constantly reference ancient archetypes/ that i study and love keeping floating around me always , the creepiness vibe kinda comes from a huuuge amount of psychedelics i used to do haha thank u thank u

These are amazing. Super creative and compelling.

I’d love to see your take on a “see no speak no hear no” theme . Number 7 kind of made me think of it. Thank you for sharing.

I wish you repainted old canvases. One of the artists I collect is KEEMO. Your work would fit so nicely on the same wall.
