He uses his background in design, illustration and art direction, along with Pop Art and Graffiti influences, to create dynamic content portraying lifestyle, beauty and fashion.

Vibrant, colorful pop artwork featuring prominent Black icons like Nipsey Hussle, Kobe Bryant, and Basquiat. Inspired by hustle and overcoming struggle, this abstract pop art is motivational and energizing.

ARTISTIC TOOLS

Procreate is the most important tool I use at this moment.

This was the tool that help me to start the process of Nuwarhol. When I was starting out I used Procreate pocket to draw something everyday when I travelled to and from work.

Q&A

The goal with my art is to constantly create for me to allow everyone to be able to afford art, and express themselves through their spaces.

My biggest creative influence would be the world around me.

I think the juxtaposition of being from Jamaica and now living in New York has truly impacted my outlook on culture and art on a whole. Two places known for innovation and influence around the world.

Nuwarhol was created to mean “the fight between love and lust,” an ideology I developed when I thought I had to chose between having 9-5,  or pursue my art — the name just became the identity to describe that thought process. As time went by the ideology developed into Never Underestimate the WAR to stay High On Life.

I think the best thing.
