I’m a legend in the making a few days ago I got to hand deliver one my paintings to the legendary @krayzie_bone it’s funny because this is something I’ve had planned for a while and it’s crazy to see it happen. I had a lot of help getting here and I’m grateful for those who never gave up on me and still believe 🙏🏾 I’ll be sharing a few more blessings before the year ends stick around and enjoy them with me love ❤️ and peace ✌🏾. #mindgasum #mindgasumart #checkers #checkeredportrait #checkeredart #portrait painting #skulls #bonethugs #bonethugsnharmony #krayziebone mothugs #music #hiphopmusic #eazye #rapmusic #bonethugsandharmony #cleveland #harmonyhowseent #fleshnboneglobal #thelifeapparel #legends #rappers #ruthlessrecords #rollinbones #klonation #stclair #love #pac #thuglife #bhfyp https://www.instagram.com/p/CUc5_wplfyT/?utm_medium=tumblr

This was my first time painting a custom hat, the client friends kid passed away and she wanted to do something special for the father. He loves hats so we decided to take this route so he could always be with him wherever he goes. stuff like this remind me why I chose this path it’s not the easiest but I’m grateful for my clients / collectors and opportunities to make an impact on people’s lives. Enjoy the vid more Great things to come love y’all 🙏🏾 and a special thank you to @_.b0nnie.__ #portrait #checkers #checkerportrait #mindgasumart #Art #Portrait #newyorker hat #customhat #mindgasum https://www.instagram.com/p/CTYT6vpjADP/?utm_medium=tumblr

Enjoy the video and thank you for all the support until now love y’all. #mindgasum #mindgasumart #checkers #checkeredportrait #checkeredart #portrait painting #skulls #bonethugs #bonethugsnharmony #krayziebone mothugs #music #hiphopmusic #eazye #rapmusic #bonethugsandharmony #cleveland #harmonyhowseent #fleshnboneglobal #thelifeapparel #legends #rappers #ruthlessrecords #rollinbones #klonation #stclair #love #pac #thuglife #bhfyp https://www.instagram.com/p/CRhMy1_jpgJ/?utm_medium=tumblr

R.I.P to a real one I wish I could have posted this earlier, but better late than never the 1 thing I always admired about DMX was his message ,energy and spirit .Never meat the guy but I know good energy. Would have loved to gift it to you ,but that’s okay your spirit lives on through the people now. Enjoy the progress vid and one of his most powerful songs. And if you can make sure to tag @aliciakeys @therealswizzz @kanyewest and of course dmx wife @tasherasimmons let’s try to get this to one of them if possible love y’all 🙏🏾 #portrait #dmx #checkers #checkerportrait#mindgasumart #Art #Portrait#westcoastart #westcoastartist #chicagoartist #chicagotattooartist ##bostonmusicscene #portlandriots #minneapolisriots #newyorker #ruthlessrecords #80shiphop #drdre #mobbdeep #oldschoolhiphop #ruffryders #natedogg #westsideconnection #gunit #mosdef https://www.instagram.com/p/CRbbxtXDvR1/?utm_medium=tumblr

Super happy to share this one with you guys. Nowadays we have a debate on who is best joker on the big screen, you’ll usually get answers like the classic jokers or the modern ones. Since I can’t make up my mind , I decided to paint the ones that left an impression on me. So without further ado. I’m happy to share this portrait of the Jack Nickolson Joker enjoy the vid. #checkers #portrait #joker #jacknicholson #batman #classicjoker #dc #dccomics #checkeredportrait #mindgasum #mindgasumart #westcoastart #westcoastartist #chicagoartist #chicagotattooartist #chicagomusic #bostonmusicscene #portlandriots #minneapolisriots #newyorker #detroitriots #detroittattooartist #detroitart #detroitartist #portlandartist #portlandtattoo #germanartist #tokyoartsandculture #seatt https://www.instagram.com/p/CO1bsrnj1KD/?igshid=1j2zzv56ta87m

It’s a pleasure to share the process of this commissions painting of @doctori2.0 with you guys. The story behind the background is that most people see the world in a grayish setting .If you flip the painting you’ll see the colors are happy and the sky is bright. Due to her vibe / personality I felt like that was appropriate for her. #checkers #checkerportrait #painting #art #portrait #mindgasum #mindgasumart westcoastart #westcoastartist #chicagoartist #chicagotattooartist #chicagomusic #bostonmusicscene #portlandriots #minneapolisriots #newyorker #detroitriots #detroittattooartist #detroitart #detroitartis #miamiartist #wynwood https://www.instagram.com/p/COiYxuSjFN0/?igshid=1nfly1uiakwky

Looking forward for this beauty to get to its new home with @markrayes . Rarely show commissions work with no checkers. However I wanted to show diversity and that I can paint just as good without the checkers.

s human beings we spend most of our lives living in the moment and not looking back. For the first time in a long time I look back at how long I’ve come. The opportunities that have come and gone, the people that I have met, conversations and ideas that have manifested. These made the human experience something that’s exciting and unpredictable. Wanted to thank @trina rockstar for the awesome pic and for giving my painting a new home. A special thank you to @rarrient for the wonderful birthday celebration and a happy bday. Also thank you to @raymondtaylor for showing love and buying all my cards 🙏🏾 #miamiartist #painting #art #portrait #mindgasum #wynwood #trina #trinarockstarr #mindgasumart #fortlauderdaleart https://www.instagram.com/p/COVxD8tjXh7/?igshid=1stte437c4v8

It brings me such joy to share this one with you guys. One of my favorite jokers @heathledger. I really enjoyed making this one since this is the joker I grew up with besides the cartoon Ver. Decided to approach with my style and it was a success so I’ll be doing more characters with white makeup. Stay tuned and the original and prints are for sale. #checkers #portrait #checkeredportrait #mindgasum #mindgasumart #westcoastart #westcoastartist #chicagoartist #chicagotattooartist #chicagomusic #bostonmusicscene #portlandriots #minneapolisriots #newyorker #detroitriots #detroittattooartist #detroitart #detroitartist #portlandartist #portlandtattoo #germanartist #tokyoartsandculture #seattleartists #joker #heithledger #thedarkknight #batman #dc #fanart https://www.instagram.com/p/CKt8u9bj_q6/?igshid=1jqb98e4sf1ep
