He is a self-appointed visual ambassador for his Ancestors, the Hip Hop culture, and the Black experience in America as he sees and live it.

Growing up in the Bronx during the ‘80s inspired him to embrace the visual element of the Hip Hop culture: writing aka graffology aka heirograff. The thrill of sneaking into train yards to write his tag in as many places as possible far outweighed the dangers of third rails, transit cops and rival writers.

He incorporated these skills in murals he has painted in homes, businesses, schools and communities in New York City and Westchester County. Evan also used these techniques in my body art designs and digital art.

Evan is motivated by the deep desire to tell his story through his art. His narrative also includes the journey as a spiritual being on this planet. Evan’s mission is to explore ways to depict aspects of his growth beyond the physical body. Another motivation comes from the satisfaction of delivering a completed project and experiencing a pleased client seeing their product for the first time. Acquiring commissions from clients helps to pay the bills and expands his portfolio, but the challenges also drive him beyond all comfort zones.

Evan’s thought process starts with envisioning then determining the intent of the art. The next phase of my process is to consider the audience he is creating the art for. After that comes the composition of the overall design of the art to ensure balance and an appealing visual flow. Color is a critical component in a strong design but does not supersede the other elements that make up his creative process.
