2022
The big reveal...
On the first day of 2022 I decided that after years, it was time for people to put a face to the artwork.
It was a scary move at the time, but one that was necessary in allowing people to connect deeper with me and my work, whilst also allowing me to branch out to other content types.
All night...
Following the work done for KSI, I was approached to do the cover artwork for his friend and label mate, S-X's next single featuring multi-platinum artist Trippie Redd.
The single performed well, accumulating over 7.5 million streams across platforms and making it another successful project under the belt.
The long awaited link up...
After over a decade of watching and being inspired by KSI, a feature in one of his videos & 2 BRIT Certified projects together, at the after party of his sold out Wembley Arena show we finally linked up in person for the first time.
At the after party I was surrounded by so many people that I admired, it was the first time that I was able to see first hand the people that my work could allow me to meet.
Childhood hero...
The pinnacle of this realisation came later that year when I met my lifelong idol and a key inspiration behind my relentless work ethic and ambition, Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ever since a child Cristiano Ronaldo has been my biggest inspiration and meeting him had always been on my bucket list. So when he made his historic return to Manchester United in 2021 I was determined to make it happen.
I created my largest painting to date - a detailed portrait specifically designed to be autographed and framed, and set out on a mission.
Those efforts paid off and I found myself face to face with my childhood hero as he hand signed my artwork. A moment that I'll remember for the rest of my life.
