JAHLINX / SEVEN DC PORTRAIT

JAHLINX / SEVEN DC, 2013

 

So I found this amazing photo of one of my friend's kids, and I had to do a piece with it. I found another stoic image of Linx himself and another of his trademark lion and know exactly what I wanted to produce. The facial expressions on all three tell the story, age and the cycle of life we all create. In the background I wanted to add something that represented Linx thought so I added philosophers and writers, like Camus, Sartre, Blake, etc. as well as angels representing his thoughts on his little and of course the trademark paw print. Hope you enjoy brother you deserve it.....5.....

Subliminal stimuli: (literally "below threshold"), contrary to supraliminal stimuli or "above threshold", are any sensory stimuli below an individual's threshold for conscious perception. The concept of stealth is to rich the target audience by awareness, while subconsciously stimulating other that might not understand or know what they are looking at.

LATEX PAINT, AEROSOL PAINT & LETTER APPLICATION ON RECLAIMED SIGNAGE

Certain things we hold as our identity are set in stone (ex. A  finger print), but other things we hold as our identity or exchangeable, able to be eliminated or even worse manipulated by others. Finding out where these different traits fall in this identity web allow one to create one own identity or does it?  Is this objective a safety guard or a weak personality…..

MODERN LABOR, 2010

MODERN LABOR, 2010

WATERCOLOR PAINT, ACRYLIC PAINT, WOOD STAIN, AEROSOL PAINT ON RECLAIMED WOOD  PANEL

Working class the American way, What happened to that? Or has it always been this way and we are just better educated about it now. What happen to the men and women who just want a good life for themselves and there kids, nothing fancy just good. A stepping stone for the children to achieve that much more than we did. With jobs going over seas to unethical labor, and those leaders of industry coming here to force the same what is our future but to work to death…..

AEROSOL PAINT, POST MORTEM SPEC LABLES, ON WOOK PLANKS

What is beauty? is it an abstraction of our mental understanding of sexuality or just a manipulating tactic to make people judge each other? Is it internal or outwardly, and is it only found in humans or in all thing living? In current time one can easily force a knife to create beauty if it's at face value, but are we expressing the wrong elements to beauty? soon walking around wolves in sheep's clothing.....

ALTER EGO  2010

Aerosol Paint, Wheatpaste removed, & Latex Paint on reclaimed table top

Decisions and reason can alter different elements of one life.           Creating obstacles, difficult to overcome, or pathways, that are easily walked upon. These chances one takes also creates temporary changes or other everlasting, but all changes are notable. If one lets certain elements of our personality run these decision it's very       possible that one will start to create obstacles that are life changing and permanent. Ego is a bad friend that sits upon your shoulder.....

Aerosol Paint, & Acrylic Paint on Stone

As seen on  Oxygen’s Bad Girls Club, Season  5, 2010

The Marilyn Monroe of modern day, Masuimi Max represents a change in the atmosphere of conventional style and beauty.  She also represents a progression in modification and a acceptance.  As we progress as a society the acceptance of change is going to be paramount. This acceptance can only take place with people representing those changes. Our pop icon Max…..

WHAT IS 305?  2010

DRYWALL COMPOUND, AEROSOL PAINT, LATEX PAINT & WOOD STAIN ON PLYWOOD

What is 305?  Expands on the development of the greater Miami area;  giving a brief history of icon facts and terminologies. It displays a propaganda like poster style to represent to strength and power Miami has on our national economy. But even being one of the top cities in  America still we see mass unemployment and major city decay. Which leads me to believe even with power  and strength, if 1% run America, it  will always have major failure, and we  will become the laughing stock of the world no matter how will we       market our selves as powerful and dominate.  Remember the Romans…..

HANGER,  2010

AEROSOL PAINT,WOOD STAIN, FOUND OBJECTS

Produced Live at Art Basel 2010

One persons live doesn’t hang on the decision of one person or does it. Choice, a very difficult question that other can answer quickly for us , but only because they are not us. Negative     situations arise yet positive spin can be placed. One never will know the full spectrum of their decisions unless they seek out those answers and sometime finding those answer come to last with much regret…..

WOOD STAIN, ACRYLIC PAINT, & AUTO PAINT ON RECLAIMED CANVAS BOARD

Sometime inspiration comes from places or people you would never expect. And sometime it take a tragedy to finally realize the gravity of that relationship. Some stay here too long and some are cut too short. Is there some metaphysical  energy gage nobody yet understand that controls this pointless morning, because I saw him in the glass days after his death…..5…..RIP music man
