"The Sound in All of Us Today" J.Dilla x Van Gogh's 1888, Sunflowers. Spray Paint on Canvas, 2017. 54” x 42”.

I’ve always enjoyed sort of mixing and mashing unrelated subjects together in attempt to create something new. It reminds me how J.Dilla would sample old records to build layers, producing an entirely new and unique sound.
Bits from here, bits from there.
