Each piece in this series addresses a specific crime, elements of those crimes and is encompassed by repeating imagery. In this case, a NOPD police cruiser which overshadows the theme of the work. In this sense, the symbolism of "the police" outweigh the tumultuous nature of the crime.

Try as he might to separate the two; they inevitably cross and influence one another. His work has been featured in Vice magazine, Ozy magazine, and several news publications and media. It is his goal to transfer his efforts full time into creating art. Society can be better served through ideas translated through paint.
